Freddie Warren and another one of my high school friends volunteered for the
U.S. Marine Corps and died on the sands of Iwo Jima. They did not die
for a woke America
By Howie Katz
Sand on Iwo Jima's beaches
made even walking difficult for Marines of the 5th Marine Division as
they begin to drive inland toward Japanese positions at the base of Mt. Suribachi on D-day, February 19, 1945
Freddie
Warren was one of my high school friends. He was the quarterback of my
high school football team, the Marshall Mavericks.
Like
many Texans, Freddie did not wait to be drafted into the military
during World War II. Upon graduation, he volunteered for the U.S. Marine
Corps.
In
February 1945, Freddie, along with another of my high school friends
who also volunteered for the Marines, were killed on Iwo Jima. My
friends and 7,000 of their fellow Marines died on the sands of Iwo Jima
in defense of our country. But they did not die for a woke America!
Dead Marines who never made it off the beach on Iwo Jima
Two Marines who died after making it off the beach
What
a shame that my friends and the other brave Marines died for the mes
our once great country has become. If they knew, they would not be able
to rest in peace.
Freddie and his comrades did not die for:
A woke America
The critical race theory
Black Lives Matter
The Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys
AOC and her Squad
The indoctrination by Marxist professors in our colleges and universities
The rainbow flag
Transgenderism
The January 6th insurrection
Draft dodging Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump
A totally idiot President Biden
A dumb and dumber Kamala Harris
The defacing, the toppling and destruction of the statues of Confederate and American heroes
The renaming of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day
The renaming of schools and parks which had been named in honor of slave owners and Confederate heroes
The hug-a-criminal laws that have left our cities inundated in crime.
Etc., etc., etc.
That's the American flag, not the rainbow flag, being raised on top of Mt. Suribachi .
Some of the Marines who survived the bloody Battle of Iwo Jima celebrate their victory on top of Mt. Suribachi
Granted, the America they fought and died for was far from perfect.The South segregated blacks from whites. Blacks were denied some of the civil liberties enjoyed by whites.
Even
the military was segregated with Blacks in the army relegated largely
to the quartermaster corps and blacks served as stewards for officers on
the Navy's ships.
Segregation in the military did not end until July 1948, when President Harry Truman ordered the Armed Forces to be integrated.
It took a civil rights struggle and court orders to end segregation in the South and the Jim Crow laws that followed.
All
that should not detract from the heroism of those who fought and died
for this country on the islands of the Pacific and in Europe and
Northern Africa..
Freddie
and his fallen comrades would not be able to rest in peace if they knew
what has become of the nation they so gallantly fought and died for. What a shame.
And a downright dirty shame on those (below) who made a mockery of the flag raising on top of Mt. Suribachi. Two of my friends and 7,000 other Marines died for that to happen.
President
Biden, pictured with Russian spy Victor Bout, says he's trying his best
to find another transgender to replace Sam Brinton for his
all-inclusive government. "Come on man, if you're trans like Sam, contact me or Kamala at once!"
Thanks Hon ... See you the next time.
