Nobody cares anymore except us older people.

I wasn’t around for WW2 but my parents were. The direct impact on me was my father and mother traveling to attend the reunions of Dad’s army buddies. I sensed a tight bond among those guys that I didn’t understand as a child.
So you spend a couple years among a group of random strangers, and for the rest of your lives you act like you were all born from the same mother? They were in their 80s and still traveling all over the country for those reunions. Made no sense to me as a kid but now I know.
RIP Dad, and all who fought in that war.

Back in the sixties we all got together enough money to send my grandmother to Pearl to visit the Arizona memorial where two of her sons were entombed.
She traveled alone, purchased a wreath to drop over the side of the launch that took the group out to the site, came home and never mentioned a word about her experience.
R.I.P. to all the heroes....
and fuck the democrats who cause all the wars and get our greatest generations killed for profit.
