I knew as soon as I stepped off the plane that I had been gifted a truly amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity. Once we crested Mt Suribachi, silence fell over us all and we took in the site of the flag raising. To look out onto the Pacific and picture all of the ships and Marines as they entered one of the bloodiest battles was so humbling. <br />As a Marine, this was one the top two highlights of my career.

The Left-leaning faction of our country would very much like to erase anything good our nation has done and portray it as an aggressor nation that does everything to exploit the rest of the world. My own father was in Patton's 3rd. Army and I will always be proud of him for it. He died just a year ago at the age of 96 and was buried in a national cemetery with his WWII veteran hat which he wore EVERYWHERE. He and all of our veterans, myself among them (12 years Army) applaud you for not caving to political correctness and propaganda.Ken Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035120888639568195.post-53069338036428657442018-11-16T07:48:40.143-08:002018-11-16T07:48:40.143-08:00My grandfather, Pfc.
