Memorial Day Gratitude

NORMANDY

An interesting article we rarely talk about. A sad thought on a somber day. :slightly_frowning_face:

Yes, Memorial Day is also for military members who died by suicide (msn.com)

“Families of veterans who died by suicide likely may wonder if we’re guilty of ‘stolen valor’ when openly honoring them on Memorial Day,” Dean Lambert wrote last year in a Military Times opinion piece, as he honored his son, Adam Lambert, who took his own life in 2015, a year after returning home from serving in Afghanistan.

what today is really about. R.I.P.:cry::cry:

Wow Leo, thank you for posting that. There’s nothing else to say than what the President said then. It brought tears to my eyes.


Incredibly sad today but proud. God bless you all.

WOW man

For his service in Vietnam, aside from his MOH, the U.S. Army awarded Hooper two Silver Stars, six Bronze Stars, eight Purple Hearts, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Vietnam Service Medal with six campaign stars, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. He is credited with 115 enemy killed in ground combat, 22 of which occurred on February 21, 1968. He became one of the most-decorated soldiers in the Vietnam War, and was one of three soldiers wounded in action eight times in the war.
(August 8, 1938 – May 6, 1979) (40 years old)

He exceled at War, but not at Peace. :us:

I am sorry to say I have never heard of him. :slightly_frowning_face:

“So his Heroism will forever be forgotten because it happened in Viet Nam”.

I wish the ‘Normie’s (who still believe in this Schmuck) could understand the
ramifications of just what this phuckin’ Turnip is doing to this country and
