Crying. That is so sweet. My Dad had vascular dementia. Sometimes he seemed to go back to WWII, but most of the time was lucid. May God strengthen these men and give them his peace.
I wish it were true that no one here cares about fake internet points, but the 🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING! BOOOM!! WATCH!! READ!!! GET IN HERE!!!! 🚨🚨🚨 posts, the emotionally manipulative facebook clickbait like this, as well as how much it means to people to get a sticky on their post, all say otherwise.
Also crying. Dealt with Alzheimers for the last decade of my dad's life and lived with him for a few years of it. Thank you for sharing this story. I hope that you can hook into a veterans support network to share the burden of care for your health.
All of my liberal friends have lived the definition of white privilege loves even though I detest the term in their case it’s accurate. Mommy and daddy bought most of them several cars and down payments on homes in Boston .
My parents did their best I like to think. My dad paid alot of money for my sister to attend UC Berkeley. That place turned her from a self proclaimed "conservative" out of high school to a total lefty. Back in 08 she was warning me at Thanksgiving dinner about how corrupt Obama was. This Thanksgiving I didn't even see her because she's got TDS and is a Branch Covidian. It's really sad to see.
Dang man my dad bought me a 2 thousand dollar truck to go to highschool and then told me everything else I wanted I had to buy myself 😂😂 and he's a deranged liberal half the time. I couldn't imagine down payments on houses.
Imagine being a privileged lib, and going into a bunch of debt for a house you needed your parents to make the down payment for. Too funny
Next door neighbor's kids were on the television show where you show inventions looking for investors.
Dennis O'Leary asked them where they got the nearly $250,000 for their start up capital.
"Our parents gave it to us, it's was so little they thought we deserved it to follow our dream of owning our own business and not having to answer to bosses."
Dennis backed away from them like seeing baby bear cubs in the forest.
Well a few of them have drug problems but all the wealthy ones I grew up with got whatever they wanted without working and they are all liberal morons. My dad was the same as yours 👍
Sorry , I’m white and believe white privilege is a racist term. I use it as a derogatory term for liberals I know. They are all privileged and act like they are better then anyone. I only use the term to throw it back at them becuase they actually believe in it and I want to point out that I work for what I have and they don’t.
Their faithless mothers, empowered by "Womyns Rights", stole the children, probably lied during the divorce to do it, and raised them in a fatherless household while cashing massive alimony checks.
I've done the same thing for my grandmother. Sometimes she thinks she's not home, when she's inside her own house. All my family has a pact, that she's never going to those hellish retirement "homes", if you can call those abusive shitholes homes.
So when she gets like that, I'll take her for a ride up to McDonalds, because she loves their hot-fudge sundaes. If their ice-cream machine is broken, I'll pay the extra money at the convenience store to get her a magnum bar. She likes those, but... She's a woman of simple tastes, and I think she likes the hot fudge sundaes better.
It's not that she's a zombie. It's just like... She's not completely there. I know she knows something's wrong with her memory on the bad days, but... Fuck, if it were me, I'd be shit scared.
My grandmother helped raise me. My mother, a drug-addled leftist, cared more about going out and partying, about getting fucked up on oxycodone. She worked as a nurse, but only because it gave her the funds and insurance to buy her drugs. My mother's house reeked of cat-shit, and rotting garbage. My grandparent's house was always clean, always smelled nice. My grandfather was my hero, and role-model.
My mother got me diagnosed as ADHD, which personally, I don't believe in. But after that, unfortunately, I got hooked on the medication, which drastically changed my personality. Adderall is an amphetamine, something no child should ever in a million years be taking.
When my grandfather got cancer, I did not take it well. I started abusing the stuff, and it was a very dark time in my life. Eventually, on the day he died, I wound up in a mental hospital for three days. It fucking haunts me every time I think of it. I didn't try to kill myself or anything like that. It was the amphetamine psychosis. I had been up for days.
But after that, I made a promise to myself, and eventually to God, that I would clean my act up. I quit any sort of drugs. I cleaned myself up. Stopped being a NEET. When Trump got elected, it gave me a purpose.
When you're on amphetamines, you don't believe in God. You believe in a solipsistic world view in which only temporary and fleeting pleasures matter.
Which explains a lot about the left. When I was a drug-addled degenerate, I was a leftist. When I got clean, everything I thought I knew, I realized was a lie. I was neglecting the family that really matter out of shame, because I knew if they saw me like that, they'd instantly realize how screwed up, how shameful I had become.
I became a Christian, I got a job, and I got better. There is a way out of that hellish nightmare, but the modern left are like crabs in a bucket.
Thank you for this. When I was in my teens, my WWII vet neighbor had Alzheimer's. I used to help him and his wife around the house, cutting the grass and painting and odd jobs. He would be waiting for me on the porch to talk when I was done for the day.
Several times I heard the story about how his unit took over a German warehouse that happened to be filled with luxury cars. They proceeded to have a crash up derby after the officers had their pick. I listened every time.
Years later, I did some research on him and found out he was a decorated badass.
I think that's really where my true respect for those who have and do serve started. God bless you all.
Imagine all of the men who died in the jungles of Vietnam to fight communism, and we are told John Kerry and John McCain are war heroes. Guys like this and those that didn’t come home are the real heroes of Vietnam .
I worked VA as police with a lot of these dudes. Nice gesture, but they will not remember. I would talk to them for hours, that is the best thing. Also don't follow them down rabbit holes, don't encourage their delusion. One dude who was in his 90's told me his mom was coming to pick him up. He was so happy. Another would get aggro and flip tables for thinking everyone was out to get him. Watching a 90 year old pick up a table with computers on it and be sooo mad. He had a rock collection so we would sometimes (not always) snap him out of it by asking of his rock collection. I came back into work and asked "so has mr. anon done anything crazy last few days?" "Sorry anon, he passed yesterday". God speed mr. ******* god speed.
This also happened after WW2 with one of the last Japanese holdouts, at least a decade after the war ended. They had to find his commander, bring him to the island and tell him the mission was over. As much as we (rightly) hated the Japs back then for what they did, like this man, we still have to admire their loyalty to their country. (and we should beat the shit out of Leftist who conspire against this country)
Also makes me think about the bonding that must have occurred among shoulders; they didnt have a choice. When youre facing down death together, you don't have a choice.
For what its worth, when my daughter was born and I was holding her in a hospital room all safe and sound, I thought about the fact that 18 year olds died so that I could enjoy that moment. The time is near where blood will need to be repaid with blood.
If his dementia is bad enough to think the Vietnam war is still happening, can't they just have ANYONE tell him this? Is he going to be able to tell that the guy in front of him is a real miltary member or not?
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm genuinely curious.
Oh for sure they could get any Joe Schmo to play the part and tell him this. But it sounds like they found a genuine fellow brother in arms who WANTED to do this for his brother. It’s an incredible gesture of honor.
This tells you what a difficult time it was for these great and brave men back then. Pedes we must also have this same courage now. Even when we are afraid we have to fight and stand up for what is right. That is the only way to honor these great men. We can’t let their sacrifices be lost now for future generations. Stay strong. I love you all.
this is very sad. but at the same time..it will not change anything. The dementia will just black out this new memory and he will once again be back in the war. May the lord grant this man peace of mind in his last days.
God Bless you and your father. This war hero is on his last leg of life and he wants to go fight! This is why we will never allow this fraud on our elections and never have a democrat in office so help me God.
Crying. That is so sweet. My Dad had vascular dementia. Sometimes he seemed to go back to WWII, but most of the time was lucid. May God strengthen these men and give them his peace.

I was under the impression that a basic understanding of how quotation marks work would convey that this clearly isn't my father in law.
Thank you for the post I didn’t know about this touching story. Also like your handle ,thank god biden will never be president
You clearly don't understand how quotation marks work.
Just so we're clear then, you came into this post believing I was quoting myself, for my own post?
Edit: Never mind this would also explain why you just wrote "prese puce" in a comment.
They're not sending their best. Sad.
Wise words.
nobody here cares about karma. karma means nothing.
have an upvote.
YOU WERE PLAYED LIKE A FIDDLE!!
Yeah, Karma ain’t shit. fuck that bitch
I wish it were true that no one here cares about fake internet points, but the 🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING! BOOOM!! WATCH!! READ!!! GET IN HERE!!!! 🚨🚨🚨 posts, the emotionally manipulative facebook clickbait like this, as well as how much it means to people to get a sticky on their post, all say otherwise.
Who gives a shit about internet points? Lmao.
Karma whores are asshoe
I took my updoot back.
Also crying. Dealt with Alzheimers for the last decade of my dad's life and lived with him for a few years of it. Thank you for sharing this story. I hope that you can hook into a veterans support network to share the burden of care for your health.
How can anyone see the dedication and protection men like this give to the end and still complain about "the patriarchy" and "toxic masculinity"?
I have to think they were abandoned and/or abused. They’re broken people
I think a lot of sjw's singing that tune are just thoughtless, selfish, pampered degenerate twats that have never known real hardship or work.
All of my liberal friends have lived the definition of white privilege loves even though I detest the term in their case it’s accurate. Mommy and daddy bought most of them several cars and down payments on homes in Boston .
Why don't they make their kids do actual shit and learn the value of a dollar and not mommy and daddy's dollar...
My parents did their best I like to think. My dad paid alot of money for my sister to attend UC Berkeley.

What about that is white privilege? Stop using anti-white language and buying into their goofy concepts.

God bless your father-in-law for his service. I hope he finds some peace. That's great that you found this other soldier to help.
Who's cutting onions in here.
Onions? No —- I think I need to change my HVAC filter...
This made my night. I really needed this.
We will not forget. We will not go silently into the night. God bless you and your family.

Thanks for the insight... God Bless you...
Wait until you see them starve to death because the part of the brain that regulates hunger is no longer present.
It's how one of my relatives died. She was in her 90s.
Go Klingon / GEN soldier and get two hearts 👍
I will fight for his honor!
Nice. And thankful for his service, but I fear he won’t remember what the Col. tells him.
Yeah. Dementia is a terrible thing. One of my grandparents has it. She doesn't remember what you told them ten minutes ago.
Oddly enough, she remembered the name of the China flu. I guess the fearmongering media drilled it deep enough into her head.
Fucking bunch of traitors and deepstate sons of bitches.
Older memories often remain. There have been several pandemics in her lifetime. The C-19 has probably attached to those memories.
Amazing. Well done
This is beautiful ❤️🇺🇸
Oh yeah, this was from three years ago. It's a real sweet story.

Didn't mean to sound like a douche, I just remember seeing this story before.
Didn't know the back story, just saw it on Cloyd Rivers on Facebook and thought it was share worthy. Thanks for showing the origin.
No worries! Thank you for sharing it on here fren! :)

My grandfather was too young to fight in WW2, but he was part of the national guard. I still have his pins and such in my possession.
Wow . Wow
Imagine all of the men who died in the jungles of Vietnam to fight communism, and we are told John Kerry and John McCain are war heroes. Guys like this and those that didn’t come home are the real heroes of Vietnam .

This is the most amazing thing. I hope this brought your father in law peace.
Then they can play the video for him every day. Even moments of peace are worth the effort.
Such a hero for helping out others. Bless them both for their service.
He's done his duty.

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time . This is genuine human compassion and it made me happy cry.
God bless you, your father-in law and the lt col. who came out. I thank both of them for their service.
(‘-‘*ゞ
I tried to make a saluting face
Not sure if I was successful.
Thank you so much for sharing this profound story of duty, honor and sacrifice. I pray this put him at ease.
So beautiful and touching. God bless these patriots ❤️🇺🇸
This is good stuff, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of reddit but way better
Well, sir, you don't have to go to the jungles of Vietnam to kill some commie bastards.
Dad smells the scent of commies in the air and gets flashbacks of Nam
When I look at this, I can't help but stare in awe at the strength some men have.
We're all so weak and unprepared for what's about to pop off.
Also makes me think about the bonding that must have occurred among shoulders; they didnt have a choice. When youre facing down death together, you don't have a choice.

Get video so you can show it to him over and over. Dementia is a bitch. And kudos to you and the Lt Col for all that loving effort.
Yes I was thinking that - he’ll forget ☹️
He’ll forget that happened in a few hours. And be back to wanting to go to Vietnam if he’s fixated on it. That’s how dementia works.
I am dealing with the same exact thing, it is heartbreaking. That is a good son/daughter. I hope it comforted his anxiety for at least a time.
Did it work? Cause there is a heavy chance that next day he will still want to go.
That was nice dude...
tragically, vietnam is still a communist country
this is very sad. but at the same time..it will not change anything. The dementia will just black out this new memory and he will once again be back in the war. May the lord grant this man peace of mind in his last days.
God Bless you and your father. This war hero is on his last leg of life and he wants to go fight! This is why we will never allow this fraud on our elections and never have a democrat in office so help me God.
This looks super fake. It probably is fake and gay.
The guy with dementia is going to forget that this happened a day later.
Sounds like a complete rip off of this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroo_Onoda designed to get viral spread from boomers on Facebook.
Bless your hearts.
