My grandfather’s description of war crimes trials at Dachau. I met a Polish man who attended as a young man, and 44 years later, all he talked about was the American justice for Nazis. He knew the name/rank of every American.

We got a pack of small US flags for this reason, to give out on 10-18.
It’s our flag, too.
I’m not a big fan of red, but I’m mad that they think they can steal colors, too.

A WWII era comic book.
That’s my grandfather.
His troops were renowned for their speed on foot (the Truscott trot). Through mountains.
Go to hell, Hegseth.

This “stopped fighting to win” is bullshit and insulting to the people who serve.
I know a few
and I’ll say it —unlike all those who allow him to desecrate Arlington, insult Gold Star families, POWs and the war dead.
Pick a side, America. We fight tyrants in my family.

This is my grandfather, General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr.. He led forces in Italy and France and defeated tyrants and dictators.
He’s buried in Plot 1 at Arlington.
Trump/Hegseth showed that our once great country can be led over a cliff.
Thousands have died defending freedom.
Make it matter.
