Subject: Outstanding is a very mild word for this

Memorial Day coming up. A good time to be reminded of what sacrifice really means

This is a powerful story in history.  Only a few Americans are alive now who lived in those times.  I would guess that a lot of college students are not aware of these places, or how they happened.  Sad commentary.

Outstanding is a very mild word for this.

 Apologize to no one.
Remind those of our sacrifice and don't 
confuse arrogance with leadership.
The count is 104,366 
dead, brave Americans. 

And we have to watch an
Our country is "arrogant"!

HOW MANY FRENCH, DUTCH, ITALIANS,
BELGIANS AND BRITS ARE BURIED ON
OUR SOIL... AFTER DEFENDING US 
AGAINST OUR ENEMIES?
 

WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE...

BUT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!

DO THINK ABOUT THIS.

THANK YOU. 

Our European arrogance
