  3. I echo the sentiments of 6:29. Watch The History Channel’s “America, The Story of Us,” especially the episodes focused on before, during and after WWII. If you don’t get a lump in your throat or tears in your eyes you may not have a soul. The entire country united for a common cause was an impressive thing to witness, and it’s easy to see why they were called the greatest generation.

  8. Our guys from WW2 must be rolling in their graves seeing what’s happening to our country. Leftist criminal sleepers in our government,kids brainwashed in public schools by criminal leftist traitors,communist infiltration in the media. Hell the commies want to turn little boys into girls further weakening our country. Then the commies missing spoke in the wheel a negro American hating commie in the White House to secretly flood our country with muslim enemies while trying to destroy our defenses and emboldened muslim killers abroad to attack us. Our guys that gave their lives to keep us free would be so pissed off they’d probably march on Washington and drag pelosi and her crew of thieving criminals out by their feet and throw them in prison
