70th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor: Kiss a WW2 Veteran...

Seventy years ago America was forced into WW2. It took only four years
for America to defeat two huge armies on two separate continents... we
have not achieved a wartime Victory like that since.

Thanks to those who served during WW2 America's official language
remains American-English, not German-English and not Japanese-English
as our enemies envisioned. Our lives today are owed to our Greatest
Generation who repeated the Victories of their father's who fought
during WW1. If you have a living WW2 relative give him or her a big
kiss. If your WW2 relative is in Heaven pray them a big 'Thank You!'
Let no descendant of a WW2 hero ever forget that we will always
remember their Victories. Preserve the awards of your WW2 relative.
Pass them down to future generations to keep their memory alive by
keeping their award history alive... and always visible for all to see
when visiting your home...

Afghanistan may be the first war we ever lost where we
were attacked first, and it is entirely due to mission
creep, or maybe mission stampede would be a better term.

My Dad was killed in WWII, but no one should ever forget that
those who died in bad wars like Iraq died with honor, and
that is what matters. It would feel better if accomplishment
equaled sacrifice, but it doesn't, it never has, and
it never will. Kindest regards, daveA
