"Ending the night with this.
*Get your hankies*
A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero."

reminded me of my father, who served in WW11. I think of all the wars, and all the Americans who died or were so damaged as a result, and it's pretty effing sad. Leaves a hole in the soul.

It also makes me sorrowful he's not here to help me understand it. He was a proud WWII vet.

and I always think back to the beginning of this war. No one would have thought he was wrong to leave the country, but he AND his family stayed. That speaks volumes about who he is, what kind of man he is.

Meanwhile, the guy roosting in the white house has shown us what kind of....man(?) he is as well.
