My Uncle

This isn't him, but it could have been. It looks a bit like him.

He landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day, was shot several times. He had 25 operations, some to save his life. They passed last rites over him twice. He survived with a wooden leg and "tattoos" from bullet holes and surgeries, something I understand all too well. Returning from the war he ran a small retail business, raised a good family and retired. At the end he was on Social Security and the Veterans Benefits. He died a few years ago.

At the end, he was a member of the 47%.

Fuck you, Mitt Romney. Fuck you.
