3. A friend and I were talking about our fathers who risked their lives in WWII.

My friend's father was seriously wounded in Europe during the war and was in pain for the rest of his life.

She said he never once complained or regretted his service. He considered it an honor and privilege to fight
for democracy and the American way of life. Like my father, he knew what was at risk if we lost the war.

My friend and I both decided we are glad our fathers are not alive to see what is happening to this country.
To see grown adults whine about wearing at mask or getting vaccinated to deal with a national medical crisis.
After all our fathers had gone through in the war.

My father risked his life for years during WWII, flying the very dangerous Burma Hump.

And the current crop of asshats cannot even wear a damn mask.
