6. My Husband was wounded

On Omaha Beach in the second wave. Spent 8 months in the Hospital. The second man in front of him stepped on a mine, the second was badly wounded, he was hit by shrapnel.

Then went on through Germany to help liberate the Concentration camps. The German people were so happy they shared what little they had, including their homes. He was 19, 2 of his brothers were there , too.

So was my Dad building bridges for the Infantry.

We can only hope this insane madness of these ignorant Republicans flame out in their excesses. Books are a big part of what Freedom means. DeSantis is even meaner than Trump.

I am embarrassed at what part of my country has become.
