My grandfather quit school at 17 just to enlist in the army. He participated in the D-Day invasion, the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of Dachau. America needs to remember to courage, sacrifice and selflessness of that generation. We may never see it again.
Not only that, 17 year olds lied about their ages so that they could have the chance to "jump from planes, charge into almost certain death ".
ReplyDeleteMy granfathers nephew was 14 and cobbled a uniform together and then tried to get on a train taking men to boot camp.

ReplyDeleteOnly in rural areas do you find young men who actually have masculine traits.
