Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin recommends that right now we should get out the video recorder, the tape recorder, and the spiral notebook and create a family history of what those who faced war have to teach us.

A family is in many ways like a small nation. A nation is in many ways like a large family.

What we remember — and forget — largely defines who and what we are, both as individuals and as a people.

Good advice for sure. Kids today don't have the slightest idea as to what so many of our military folks have faced in time of wars.
They are literally disconnected from American history, or feed horse crap by the left.
