I haven't been to Arlington, but will never forget walking around the corner of The American Cemetery at Normandy and getting my first sight. Rows and rows as far as the eye could see. 173 acres of stones All with the same date of death within 3 days in June of 1944. Nearly 10,000 boys. I immediately broke down in tears. I can't imagine the emotion of Arlington

In 8th grade we took a class trip to DC and the Vietnam memorial. That was in 1992. I’m crying writing this. I’ll never. EVER. forget.

This should be all over the news but the media won't touch it. It's too powerful and really, it's too patriotic for them to handle. You're supposed to hate America, not appreciate the sacrifices made to keep America free or the sacrifices that families who lost loved ones have had to endure.

I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter deleted that thread because Jack is a cunt.
