Saving our country and democracy, our freedom.

They didn't want praise, or adulation.
They didn't talk tough or constantly go on about what great and strong men they were.

They came back home, got married, raised their families quietly and humbly.

They knew they saved the world, but they didn't want to talk about it.

Thanks for posting.

Yes all the WWII vets would be disgusted with Trump and Hegseth.
