To: BornToBeAmerican

Thanks ...WWII vet ... got him to talk to me about it a little just yesterday. He was a medical corpsman .... dealing with the hospital ships and planes coming in with all the wounded from the Pacific battles - saw some bad, bad, stuff. Sometimes he donated blood himself and then immediately gave it to the wounded ... one guy asked him “is this blood any good?” Dad pointed to the gauze taped to his arm and said “It’s been doing me pretty good for quite a while!”

Whatever Romney is or isn’t politically, the sight of a decent person, with a nice family, a respect & love for America and a ton of class .... it cheered him up and for that I am grateful.
