never talked about them but once, when I was about 13.

he got half his ass literally blown off with a hand grenade, after being hit a month before with shrapnel, then going back on patrol.

a year in the hospital, lost 90 pounds. shrapnel all up and down his back for the rest of his life....80 percent total permanent disability

the sad part of it is, he'd probably be a trump supporter today. he and my mom were both birchers, and she took me to see Goldwater during the election season......I thought that was very cool, but then I grew up and was able to comprehend reality.

FUCK YOU! bleeding coward, whose only service was that offered to you by sleazy gold diggers, who ALL hated you, because you're one of the biggest scumbags who EVER existed. and I'll bet your kids HATE your GUTS, as well. a hundred fifty million buys a lot of "love"
