Sunday

5th Marines. When I was a kid I asked him about the battle and he told me he saw things there that no human should ever witness again. He spent the rest of his life fighting post traumatic stress syndrome, in and out of VA hospitals repeatedly. Lindsey Graham should rot in hell for his shameful attempt to glorify this stupid war with Iran. Semper Fi Uncle Frank and rest in peace.
