As gut-wrenching as these stories are, they make me feel better knowing that we do have it in us to pull together and risk it all for democracy. I’m holding that thought close.
I took the liberty of reposting the final episodes in this series since the landlord has unlocked the door. The timing is perfect. The bravery and patriotism of every man mentioned in these stories should embarrass the shit out of the chorus of cowards turning their backs on their duties in the House of Representatives. It won't because they don't care; but I do and my friends who will read this do also. It's Veteran's Day.
You said we need some inspirational stories right now and these deliver. Reading about our naval heroes is a great way to raise our fighting spirits as we face the Republican terrorists in their campaign to destroy democracy. I'm with C Towers and others on this one. The emphasis in the oath I swore back during the Vietnam war is now on the domestic enemies we must defeat no matter what.

Which is why I tell them. :-)
Thank you Tom.

Thank you, Stewart, for making me believe I'm not alone in knowing the Oath I took in 1967 has no Expiration Date.
Exactly right.
