User ID: 80278243 05/31/2021 07:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you redefining Memorial Day? Today is to honor those who died in combat. Period. It is NOT a day to make up your own meaning. That would dishonor and discredit those who gave their lives in combat. This is THEIR day. It is a solemn day of remembrance of them and the sacrifice they made (and their families that experienced the loss). . “Mental slavery is the worst form of slavery. It gives you the illusion of freedom, makes you trust, love, and defend your oppressor, while making an enemy of those who are trying to free you or open your eyes.” -Fiyah “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “You have been programmed to resist the very person that is here to set you free, from the prison of your Mind... You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality. Religions are mental programs to imprison your Mind.” -SOL |

(OP) User ID: 78973486 United States 05/31/2021 08:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | when the time spent in totalitarianism is counted in weeks not decades, you are lucky. I spent weeks behind the Iron Curtain. Many decades ago. So beautiful, Masuren in Poland. so absolutely hungry for food and controlled. even the flagship seafood restaurant in East Berlin had food we would probably not eat here. Gastmahl des Meeres was its name I think. Smorgasboard of the Sea. In a nursing home, I saw vats of greenish mashed potatoes being wheeled between the beds in a 16-bed room in Poland. Wooden paddles like oars scooped the mass onto plates for each bedridden pattient. nothing else. nothing. They ate if they could lift their hands to their mouths. that is my way to memorialize what we have. I dearly hope we keep it.

How many soldiers aren’t honored for their service by current politicians? This is a sad day for all who have served and died for simply an American Dream. |

He was shot several times and passed on 10 years ago with land mine shrapnel in his shoulder at the age of 86. He was partial disabled the rest of his life. Couldn't run or play sports. But he went on to have a family, 4 children and was productive his whole life. I salute you Dad and all those who served. |

I have a heavy heart knowing that what they thought they were fighting for was not really what they died for. God Bless them, God Bless those who gave their life for this country. I hope someday I live to see these deep state war criminals tried for their crimes. |

User ID: 80376181 United States 05/31/2021 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Today I remember my wife’s great uncle who she never met. Killed in action October 1, 1918, while delivering a message near the town of Appremont, in the Argonne, and was buried by the Chaplain near where he fell. He gave his life that a Christian world might live. He was 23 years old when he was shot in the chest. Also, my great 2nd cousin. He was the tail gunner on a B-17 that ditched in the Baltic on August 25, 1944. All 10 crewmen were lost at sea and issued a finding of death. Purity of Essence |
