Veterans! If you're listening... [View all]

My father-in-law was a POW in WWII, captured by the Nazis, starved by them, forced to march in brutal weather. He lived what it meant to be an enemy of Nazism. He was outraged when he heard, through the years, people who denied the Holocaust.

Now, here we are with misogyny +Nazism emerging in the public sphere.

Where is the strong voice of American veterans who served our country, defending our Constitution and way of life?!

We need a macho+military verbal response to Trump, Carlson and their cheering fans. We need ads by the old guys, the Greatest Generation and Tom Hanks, Steve Sinese, etc. We also need macho actors- whoever they are 🙄😜🙄- to speak out against Nazis and their ideas.

I haven’t seen much from veterans. But, their time has come. We need to hear from them, loudly and clearly and patriotically.
