All he would say about what he saw there was:

I’m no hero. The first on Normandy were the heroes. All those that managed to live through it. But more especially the ones that did not.

at the Kasserine Pass and Sicily invasion.

I bet they would be horrified to see today's domestic terrorist republican party preparing to abandon Democracy For Fascism, and thus take a giant dump on the graves of our WWII dead buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and on the bluff overlooking Omaha Beach in Normandy.

Because if we let them take over in 2024, Democracy will be over as they drop trousers and shit on all our war dead and wounded from WWII and after who fought for that Democracy.

He received the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1944 for "conspicuous gallantry in aerial combat, resulting in the destruction of three enemy aircraft" during the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" (AKA the Battle of the Philippine Sea).

He rests at Arlington National.

Dad was a staunch Eisenhower Republican, but I can guarantee that Donnie Bonespurs would have turned his stomach.

Cross.

They knew Trump was a failed business hack and playboy from living near NYC. They’d have been horrified to learn he became “president “
