100% this. Fled the Eastern Block in the early 80s. A free country is worth fighting and worth dying for. Stupid entitled leftists need the gov'ts boot on their throat before they will ever appreciate this.

My mother was born in Warsaw in '42. Her parents smuggled her (and themselves) out in packing crates and a fruit basket. My father was born 2 weeks before his parents fled N. Ireland in 1938. Both kids grew up to have a fierce love of the US. My Polish grandfather died before the wall fell. He never spoke with his family after they got out. Thankfully the Irish side has stayed in touch. I finally got to visit little the village near Warsaw where my mother was born. None of my family survived. The fucking Nazis butchered them as "less than humans". That is what infuriates me about these little street rats calling people "fascist" and "Nazi"

Your story brought tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Word. God bless you, your family, and God Bless America.

Thank you. The really impressive family members are long gone. Some amazing stories there, let me tell you!

Great story!

The first soldier into battle on D-Day was my Mom's Uncle. He rallied his troops to follow him into what was surely a suicide mission by pleading the cause of those imprisoned in concentration camps. This was before we had any idea how bad they were.

He was wounded before landing from his parachute jump, and wounded many more times over the following weeks before being hit by artillery that was too severe to stay on the battlefield. He left the hospital before being released, and rejoined his battle group. For this he was punished by being kicked out of his beloved Pathfinders, and transferred to the Screaming Eagles, still with the 101st airborne. He fought with them throughout the battle of Bastogne.

You can imagine how I feel when anqueefa uses their "Nazi" accusation.

All the men in my family have proven ourselves impossible to kill. Uncle Frank had nothing exceptional except determination. Often people wish we had men like those who fought at Normandy. We do! Everyone here has determination like crazy, and the same Spirit. We're all made from the same "stuff." We just need to all go on the offensive at the same time, and know how to recognize each other so as to avoid friendly fire.

Even the worst off in our society are pampered compared to what previous generations had to go through during the war. People take a lot of granted.

Couldn't agree more, I work with and have spent much time in aid-relief projects around the world. America is bay FAR the greatest country on earth. Even in the European countries that people reference as better than America they don't have the amount of excess we have in the US. What many in the US consider basic amenities in other countries are considered luxuries.

Yep. Some scary ass stories from the Depression and war years. Especially in Europe. Sawdust bread, roof rabbits....

People who were part of that history or at least studied it know the truth. I doubt half the street rats even know who was on the Axis in WW2. "Nazi" has just become the word of choice for these ignorant fools.

Agreed. They throw it around as an insult. The worst part about it is that they are the ones acting like the Nazis and fascists. Almost everything they do falls right in line with either a belief or action those groups did. THe current historical ignorance is almost terrifying, to be honest.

They don't ever think they will have that boot on their throat. They always think they will be on the side of power.

Useful idiots. They won't be anywhere near the power and, neither will their parents. Even tho they think they will. They're not part of it. In fact, a lot of the people you would think will be in power, absolutely won't be. Take the Clintons for instance. They are worthless to the globalist powers now. They have no power anymore.

I'm sure they know where a lot of the bodies are buried. They're pretty old though. I guess Chelsea is next up.
