If this were our country where would the Proud Boys and The Kyle Rittenhouse types be.

My guess, hiding like cowards in a bomb shelter. That or taking up arms for the enemy against us. They hate America and all she stands for.

The pic shows Julia's anquish, 2 young boys and a grandmother. They are fighting for their lives and their Country.

We’ve never had to make a decision like this here. I cannot imagine as my heart breaks watching this insanity. People are stronger than they think and I hope to god that if the day ever comes, I would be strong n do what she and so many others are doing to live free.

I would be scared, yet would do it for the kids.

I am so much older now, and always wanted to leave them a better life.

So thankful I’ve never had to be tested but I do believe I’d do what I had to even if I’m scared. Looking certain death in the face would be horrifying but the alternative would be hell itself.

My 2 year old niece fell. Cerebral hemorrhage. I was 25.

I prayed, back when I was praying that I would take her place. She survived the operation and long recovery. She did good, yet would have sacrificed everything for her.

Not the same thing...close though.
