I love Trump but a guy who dodged the draft claiming bone spurs doesn’t deserve to be included here

This is my Marine grandfather on the front of this F-4U Corsair somewhere in the Pacific, not everyone in the picture made it home.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Not trying to be an arse, so please don't take it that way. But this day is not for those who just served; that's what Veteran's Day is for in November. Today is specifically for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

For you Louisiana boys, pour one out for Maj. Mark Hohle. Flew with him in HMH-465 on the west coast and floated with him aboard the USS Okinawa in HMM-164(C) on a WestPac deployment and Desert Storm. Went by the call sign "Cajun". Died in a CH-53E crash after I got out of the Corps.


That's Cajun on the left. That was our "Steel Beach" day on the ship on the flight deck*.





*Sorry for the pic quality. That's from the cruise book for the deployment and am not near a scanner. Just snapped a pic of the pic.

My great-uncle was in D-Day -after they got off the boat the guys to the left and right of him were shot. One died instantly, the other guy asked my great-uncle not to leave him in the water

After 3 hours of being pinned down, my uncle dragged the dead guy on the beach first, then dragged the living one.



My g-uncle told me the guys’ names but he’s been dead since I was little .
