The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The youngest veteran of WW2 (assuming they were 16 in 1945), is now 97 years old.

My father-in-law, now 101, was shot down on his second bombing mission over Germany and spent the last 8 months of the war as a POW.

My old boss from a job I had many years ago was a good friend until he died last November at the age of 103. He went ashore on D-Day, but was always careful to say "not in the first wave".

These good men understood what they were fighting for and what was at stake. My FIL hates Trump and sees him as a real threat do our Republic. My old boss detested the the fascists that he saw emerging in this country, as every patriot should.

But we have a draft dodger as POTUS who has denigrated those who fought and died for our country. WTF. : (
