Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'

[mommymarine2003]

31. I think my blood is boiling right now.

As you can see with my DU name, I joined this group when my Marine son was in Iraq. He crossed over from Kuwait into Iraq on the first day of the war and then was deployed again to Ramadi, after he had only been home less than 5 months. He was with the 1st Marine Division out of Camp Pendleton. He came back as a disabled vet, and it took almost 10 years to get his life back on track. I got to learn all about the VA hospitals in the Seattle/Tacoma area and then the Portland/Vancouver area.

I was born at Camp Pendleton. My father was a career Marine. He was a fighter pilot in the South Pacific in WWII. When I was an infant, he moved my mother, older sister and I back to Spokane, WA in case he was killed in the Korean War. Then in 1966, we returned again to Spokane in case he was killed while in Vietnam. My father served because he loved this country. He had a law degree from Gonzaga but gave that lucrative career up to serve. He spent most of his career as an intelligence officer. I was so proud of him and my son, too. I don't know how my mother handled my father being gone so much and in such frightening places. I will never forget when my husband and I went to Camp Pendleton to send our son off to his second deployment. He has the most beautiful blue eyes and as he got on the bus, he turned to me and mouthed, "I love you mom". It brings tears to my eyes even now.

I hope and pray this awful man, who should never have been president, is removed from office. What a nightmare we are in.
