I called my 100 year old father today to wish him Happy Veterans Day. If he lives till Feb 2, he'll be 101. He flew fifty-one B17 missions as pilot and copilot in WWII, with a few missoins counting double because he volunteered for some especially dangerous ones (no fighter cover, just cloud cover).
Said sometimes the sky was black with anti-aircraft flak when they arrived and when they left. He said they were always met by the protecting Tuskegee airmen fighters exactly when and where they should have been. ______
Before the war, he had a job with the FBI in DC and a new son (me) and did NOT have to go; he would never have been drafted. But he volunteered because he thought he should.
When Lynn Bernard Amick was born on October 17, 1910, in Springview, Nebraska, his father, Charles, was 29 and his mother, Jennie, was 23. He married Blanche Evelyn Petersen on January 21, 1939, in Spencer, Iowa. They had one child during their marriage. He died as a young father on November 16, 1944, in Lorraine, France, at the age of 34, and was buried in Épinal, Vosges, France.
Trump claims to love veterans, but his actions speak louder than words. Earlier this year, his administration deported Marine combat veteran Jose Segovia Benitez to El Salvador. Benitez came to the United States when he was just 3 years old, but soon developed a deep love for America. He went on to serve two tours of Iraq, where he received multiple awards and decorations. He now finds himself completely abandoned in a foreign land: "I love America. I would fight for it again. I won’t turn my back on it. I really need it not to have its back turned to me." Benitez, who also suffers from PTSD, now feels unsafe and is struggling to survive.
Is this what Trump means by honoring our veterans? Exiling them to foreign countries to rile up his political base, instead of providing them with the health care and support they need. Shame on him.

Strange, he's proud of me and I am proud of him. You are the sickos here.
He voted Republican for years, and did not have a high opinion of Obama, but he thinks Trump is crazy. And that is his own opinion, independent of mine.
OOPs......especially for the lying goat fucker......!!!!!
Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit against NY officials, House committee over taxes originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
A federal judge on Monday issued another blow to President Donald Trump and his ongoing effort to avoid having his tax records turned over to Congress.
U.S. Judge Carl Nichols granted a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that Trump filed in July over the TRUST Act in New York, which gave Congress the authority to retrieve tax information from New York residents.
In granting the dismissal, he noted that the president, "has not met his burden of establishing personal jurisdiction over either of the New York Defendants."
(MORE: Trump sues House Committee, NY AG, in ongoing effort to block access to his tax records)
The president's lawsuit named the House Ways and Means Committee, New York Attorney General Letitia James and the commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance, Michael Schmidt. ABC News reported at the time that Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, has hesitated to use the new law to request the president's state returns.

I sent the picture of my Uncle Lynn Amick.

My grandfather Charles was born in 1881!
I knew him quite well before he had a live in a hospice room. He used to take us out to see his cattle. He named each one of them!
And we did eat rocky mountain oysters!
