ANTIFA's Forefathers, My people!

1. Americans draling with facists since 1941.

6/6/44 was a very busy day.🇺🇸

2. Yup!

Really wish people aligned with "antifa" would just use the full term though: anti-fascist. Pretty self-explanatory and puts opponents on the defensive about why they're opposing anti-fascism.

"Antifa" sounds like the name put forward by Kremlin agi-prop artists, because it sounds scary and foreign to the average schmuck.

3. My people as well.

Though my grand father, grand uncle, and an uncle, all fought in the Pacific Theater.

5. Wow, a WWII Plank owner.

My maternal grandpa (USS Kalinin Bay), his brother “Uncle Chenté” (Island hopping Marine) and my dad’s oldest brother David (7th Fleet Oiler), all joined after 12/7/41.

8. My Father served in the Pacific

although he entered the Navy a bit later on. His ship was at The Philippines and a few other interesting spots.

6. The fact that we have to deal with Nazis now is an insult to those who died in WWII.

It sucks.

7. My father was there on D-Day.

Lived thru it obviously. Later found and commandeered a deserted German truck with two dead Germans - Allies had already killed them.

Like many of the soldiers, he never spoke of the actual combat or his dead fellow Americans. Too painful, my guess. There was some probability that he could have had PTSD.

I remember my mother openly mocking soldiers with "shell shocked" as it was then called. She never comprehended what a battle this was and had no sympathy until many decades later when she visited the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. The Memorial did a superb job with the small mockup of the historical scene. Their sound effects and the water pool rippling from "the tracer bullets" gave me chills. I couldn't help but cry viewing it.






Those men would not believe what has happened to this country today.
