D day!

If you think about it, they were not taught about history or civics in the first place. The students ..... and the people paying for them to get educated ... have been cheated!

So there belies the basic problem. It is not their fault, they are victims (and products) of an education system bent on teaching a leftist ideology.

You have to wonder how they can justify thinking that free speech is regulated by which side of the current political divide you sit? If you are “woke” then you have a “right” to burn whatever you take a notion to, steal whatever affords itself and beat anyone to a pulp who disagrees with you (or even “might” disagree) all in the name of free speech.

But if you are not “woke” you had better crawl under a rock and hide because you are vermin and fair game!

Our Founding Father’s warned us of this day and it is upon us!

In high school, I had 3 coaches who made the landing, 1 (Oneil) was in the 101st and jumped in. One (Davidson) was in a tank and his turret was blown appart, he had a steel plate in his head for the rest of his days. The other (Adams) was a commander of an infantry company. All great men, highly respected. The Greatest Generation, all I can say. Our superintendent (Vincent) was an Infantry LTC on Okinawa.

I grew up in a semi functional Family! My Brother spent time in Juvenal Hall for Felony Theft as 16yo. Yet my Father rewarded him by buying him his 1st car. My Brother said he was going to join the Navy yet they wouldn't have him Not even the Army would have him and that was in the early 70's. My Father Joined the Navy when he was 17 during WW2. I joined the Navy in 1971 , I didn't even have a Drivers License until I came home on Boot Camp Leave. I had to Buy a Car on my own. I made a Career out of the Navy, I learned how to respect other people until they prove they don't deserve my respect. I have a great love for the WW2 Veterans and always have. After almost 22 years I retired, I still have respect for our warriors even today.

my late grandpap was in the first wave at omaha beach. his two cousins came in later waves at omaha, but they both died on the beach. it is a Day of Remembrance for our family.

One of my uncles lost both legs on the beach that day, so I can never forget the date. He was with the Big Red One, same outfit I would later serve with during the late 1960's.

Altogether, six uncles served between Europe and the Pacific, but none were in the D-Day landings. Two almost participated.
Mom’s second oldest brother was killed in England prior to D-Day when the truck his unit was riding in was struck head-on by another army transport truck at night under blackout conditions. Nobody survived the accident.
Dad’s oldest brother served in 1st Regiment of Essex Scottish and survived the first invasion at Dieppe. Afterward while on leave in England, he dove into a shallow lake, broke his neck & died.
Oddly enough a first cousin perished the same way two days before his tour of duty was over in Vietnam.
