I posted this on another thread, but it bears repeating.

Specifically, in WWII we fought Japan because they were as maniacally determined to rule the world as are the Arabs today. Pay special attention to from the 3:00 minute mark for about 25 seconds, but watch the whole thing for the full effect.

If it werern’t for “Victory At Sea” I probably wouldn’t know anything about WWII, or at least little factual, at any rate.

If America would press the issue, perhaps Islam would abandon it’s dreams of world dominance, as did the Japanese, who are now among the most respectable of peoples.

Go to an airport and welcome some Troopers home like they did in Maine for me many years ago. Buy them a meal or a drink. Go to your local graveyards, read a few headstones with your Colors staked out there and know that Your Freedoms came from their sacrifice. Then play golf, grill up your grub drink some beers on the tab of those that rest below those headstones. I will visit Normandy in June and visit St Mere Eglise where my Father landed by parachute in 1944. The most selfish spending ever for me. Visiting beaches that were stained with the blood of heroes. Visiting their graves and remembering Who I am, Where I came from and not from Kenya but the Great Plains of America. They passed the baton to me, I Served, Fought, Retired and passed it to the Next Greatest Generation and Yes, We are Grateful and Worthy but Entitled to nothing unless We are posess the strength of will to Defend Freedom with Our Lives and Hold Our Fallen forever in Our respect.

Growing old is something to be infinitely grateful for. We should all feel a great sense of gratitude toward those who have left us with that positive possibility, and nurturing that freedom takes much diligence and care. Great post.
