      Yep.

      I remember when my father met a friend of mine who lived in Bridgeport CT. This was probably 2003 or so.

      My Dad says ‘I spent VJ Day in Bridgeport’.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

          A lot of really really brave men during that time.

          according to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 119,550 of the 16.4 million Americans who served in World War II are alive as of 2023.

          😢

          What is the saying?

          "Some gave all, all gave some"
