Pelosi will spit on him.
RIP hero. 🇺🇲
I have read several books this year by Easy Company members (Band of Brothers). Fascinating to read about what these heroes went through. And now we are seeing the last of them, in a couple of years there won’t be any more. Only one remaining from Easy Company, who was there from the beginning: https://www.newsmax.com/us/band-of-brothers-wwii-museum-u-s-army/2022/06/06/id/1073096/
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will be lying in dishonor, as usual.
ok, just blew a gasket after reading this article … Brian Sicknick, the capital hill cop that stroked out days after the Jan. 6 capital tour group was invited into the capital, was laid in the capital
… & later buried in Arlington … he was a New Jersey National Guardsman that served in Saudia Arabia & Kyrgyzstan!
… the man NEVER saw combat FFS!!!!
land is at a premium in Arlington … burial there is an honor … to be reserved for those heroes that deserve it … stolen valor
Salute out to Woody. The Pacific War against the Nips was brutal.
I first read about this heroic Marine in Robert Leckie’s history of the Marine Corps in WWII, “Strong Men Armed.” His life after the war was exemplary. Woody Williams certainly deserves this last honor.
Dad and 3 Uncles fought the Japs. 1 Uncle refused to have the NUYT on his property; he said they said we were white nationalists! In 1958 I went to library; got microfilm of NYT 1943 to 1945. HE WAS RIGHT! NYT said we killed Japs because America is a racist nation. NO MENTION OF PEARL HARBOR!
As I said here 2 or 3 days ago. MSM HAS BEEN “GASLIGHTING” AMERICANS FOR OVER 70 YEARS. NYTimes is one of many.
Thanks Woody, see you in Valhalla….
sickening that the con-gress twats even get to stand near
