youtu.be/bPFeR1vKLNs?... Give us back our diversity of patriots. This will not stand! Ty for your attention to this matter Je Suis de La Fayette

That's a good one. Definitely capable of making a tear! 😢

youtu.be/AiiePD_lhrM?... Love you veterans and the fallen but not forgotten. Let us never forget what they was fighting for in the first place! Maga seems to have forgotten

Day 491 of 1462 - DEAD American Soldiers are Suckers & Losers! On this Memorial Day, let’s remind ourselves what Un American BASTARD, Donald J Trump, said about DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS Suckers & Losers! And, 4 Star Marine Corp General John Kelly did NOT lie you Un American BASTARDS in Cult of MAGA

🕯️🇺🇸

USA🇺🇸 USA....USa....Usa...u....👇

As a veteran myself, thank you for your service and to those that we've lost.

😘😘

And more than beer and barbeques.

My Uncle. Died in Luzon. Buried in the Philippines. Five brothers in WWII. One mother and one sister at home.

Memorial Day should be celebrated by remembering all those who died for our country and the ones who serve us today. Our country is in shambles right now and we can’t let this continue. We must keep fighting. Release the Epstein files

We thank all our veterans who fought for our rights and democracy and we remember those who didnt come back and those who are still with us. Daughter of vet

Today I pause to give honor to those who died fighting to protect and defend freedom and equality for all people no matter if they were civilians or military. To anyone who died fighting against freedom for all I have nothing good to say.

Mmmmm, no, Adam. You stand here as a traditional conservative republican looking to finance our already robust defense spending and cheering for a muscular military but then become sensitive for its obvious consequences. You should have become a democrat a long time ago, you have no standing here.

😢💔🇺🇸

I honor those fallen who were classmates, uncles, fraternity brothers and childhood friends who died in Nam. I have the documents from the Memorial Foundation explaining the where, when, and how they died. I read the documents to remember them and honor them. They gave all.

The other heros of the fallen (I'm named after one of them) are the parents and siblings who had to carry on... !:|

Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that the current president - who, like every other member of his family, never served - considers fallen American soldiers to be “suckers” and “losers.”

Today trump celebrates the “losers and suckers” who he can use as pawns

Thank you for this. My father served. Half of his pilot training class was killed in Vietnam.

Thank you for your service. And sharing these stories about soldiers who are no longer with us.

HEAR, HEAR! HEAR, HEAR!!!!!

Politicizing this kind of shit pisses me off. This whole holier-than-thou thing when recognizing the day is BS. Especially from politicians who avoided service.

This story was so sad, yet very uplifting. Thank you Adam for sharing that!

🇺🇸🙏🏻🕊️🪽🇺🇸🦅🦅

Here's one about the B-17 crew my dad lost in WWII. When I think about what these young men might have achieved had they lived … dugganpubs.wordpress.com/essays/the-c...

My uncle served in WWII as a marine in the South Pacific. He was one of the few survivors in his company in Peleliu. The island could have been avoided and many marines from his company would have been alive today. The story of Peleliu was one many people don’t know about.

I agree as a veteran I did not lose any fellow soldiers but as a dependent of a Vietnam veteran I had a friend who lost his Dad in Vietnam when his dad swapped duties with a fellow soldier and the Vietnam Cong mortared the mess tent. My friend lost his dad who I met on several occasions.

I'm still waiting for my free bottle of Westerhall Rum, Adam! Did my generation of brave soldiers liberate Granada for nothing? 🧐

As always, thank you for you thoughtfulness.......

Good point!

Most don't even think of em. They're too busy having fun, and happy to not be at work. This is truly a sad day!

Continued from my past post -and said there was no surgery. He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment. He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I’m stupid, I wasn’t going to Vietnam.’”

Weak Trump avoided serving in Vietnam by claiming he had a bone spur in his heel. As Michael Cohen, Trump’s “fixer,” told members of the House Oversight Committee in 2019: “Trump claimed [his medical deferment] was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none

You got paid to do the work of a devil cult that literally rapes, murders, and eats children. No honor found.

If Trump is not kicked out if democrats get control of congress, we’re going to be in a world of hurt if he finishes out his term.

Iraq and Afghanistan veterans (IAVA) have requested silence at 3pm today. For as long as you feel it. If you don’t personally know a fallen service member, maybe consider that at least 13 have died in the illegal war in Iran this year.

They are all Heroes

Re issues to rethink; for healthcare, look no further than France. Our system is well funded. Partly State money, but mostly by social charges on earnings; everybody pays whilst in work, plus a safety net for those without. It's not all free; doctor appt is @25 euros. Above all it works; I know...!

I think about my Uncle Joe. He was a navigator in WW2. Once he filled in for a sick navigator on another crew. The plane was shot down and he died. Everyone else on board lived & were taken prisoner in Germany. The Captain said he felt guilty, he'd talked Joe into joining them. But ,Joe chose to.

Thoughtful. Beautiful tribute. Here’s one idea: lift the cap on income taxed for Social Security. Leave the benefit schedule as is. It won’t fully solve the problem but could go a considerable distance.

Thank you, @adamkinzinger.substack.com for sharing your friend Capt. Andreas O’Keeffe with us on Memorial Day. "It has to be somber. It must be. [...] But it also has to be a day of happiness and celebration" seems emotionally unfair to all. But so it is. #MemorialDay

I can't help but wonder... All those things we were told to fight for. Was it really worth it? I mean absolutely no disrespect sincerely I don't. But I can't think of one 'noble' war since WW2 WHAT IF THEY THREW A WAR AND NO ONE SHOWED UP? Let the assholes who start the war fight it.

From one combat vet to another, thank you for your service, sir. We are now in a different fight these days.

Thanks for remembering your fallen friend and telling a bit of his story. And I too struggle with the weekend, as "Happy" seems to dishonor Memorial Day without a context of remembrance. The pragmatism of Part 2 is truly "All American" & I long for dialectical discussions, not just point scoring.

I'm sure the President will honor their service appropriately

Almost 15 years ago, a Navy hospital corpsman from Cornelius, Oregon died in the line of duty in Afghanistan. He was 19 and on his first deployment. He is buried at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland. I am remembering you this Memorial Day, Ryley Gallinger-Long. Thank you for your service.

Good article. Good Advice.

Please remember my father who fought in WW2 was not a sucker or a looser. Any vet who voted for trump is

You are not a hero when you got paid to guard opium fields or oil fields or for killing innocent civilians in sovereign countries. Fuck your memorial day.

I don't think war criminals should be honoured.

I think a good 80% of Americans don't know what the day is about. Party party party

Thank you Adam.

Sad how many died for freedom the Nazi felon dictator is destroying daily . He needs stopped

❤️🫂🇺🇸

Thank you for your service, Adam, in the military, after, and always. 🇺🇸💙

Thank you, Adam, for all your continuing service. May the memory of the fallen be eternal.

End congressional partisan power. No majority rule -completely bipartisan. When each side is working from a place of service to their constituents instead of corruption, white supremacy ignorance, or power politics, we may get a congress working for the citizens. End self monitoring.
