Yes, I watch Ingraham.
NEVER watch William or Gutfield.

A warrior died today, Onyx.

WWII Vet Lloyd ‘Jack’ Unger passed away at 91 years old. Signing up right after Pearl Harbor, Jack served through the entire war and nearly 2 years afterwards. Reaching the rank of Chief Petty Officer, Jack was a staunch supporter of our troops and a true credit to the greatest generation. Having the distinction of serving on one of the vessels deployed to Yalta in support of the Big Three Conference in Feb 1945, nearly 70 years ago, Jack was privileged to actually witness Stalin in his motorcade. A close friend, assigned to the honor detail during negotiations, said that Stalin insisted on vodka and toasting. FDR inked an agreement dividing up the world when stone cold drunk is Jack’s story...on the authority of a best friend.

Jack served in both theaters on minesweepers, small wooden hulls, guaranteed to turn your stomach and invigorate your adrenalin.

To Jack Unger: You were solid brother. A solid Christian. A solid husband and father. A solid defender of our great nation. We salute you, Jack.
