Our veterans get three days, Veterans day, Independence Day, and Memorial Day. What other groups get a whole month?
My father enlisted in the USMC in December 1941. He was at Guadalcanal, Saipan, Okinawa, among other places. Neither he nor anyone who served in WWII did it for this shit. And I wouldn’t either.
Do you not celebrate May as National Military Appreciation Month? It’s a real thing. Stop with the BS that our military service men and women are not honored. The fact other groups are also honored takes nothing away from our military and what they have sacrificed for our country.
Chris I’m really not sure why I bother, but I’m so glad that you admitted that you’re now a democrat because in my opinion of you today You’re a left leaning liberal America hating piece of crap. God bless our military and President Donald Yrump
I love our country and hate to see Conservatives destroy it with their bigotry, ignorance and lies.
But you be you.
‘city services adjust’ . . . at central library: they were gonna close but i convinced them to stay open for VETERANS ONLY ! we had a nice buffet & strippers.
