Same! My Dad was born in 1936 (passed last July) and grew up in Italy until moving here in 1957. The stories he had. I’m glad he is not here to see the reelection of this clown and the rise of fascism.

Same here, my Dad and five of his brothers were all in the military during WW2. My dad joined at 16 (yes they took him at that age) and he was stationed in Nagasaki after the bomb was dropped.

My dad was in WWII at the end, Korean war, and Vietnam. He’s be infuriated! He was a VFW commander for AZ and on the national board. I was at my gun salutes at cemeteries. Protesting & marching against Trump is a duty to honor my dad. 😡🇺🇸
