garimpo 2,048 Posted December 18, 2017 You’ll never see this picture on the front of Time Magazine, or any other magazine. We see lots of pictures of wounded male veterans but women vets get wounded and maimed too. You may need to take a second, closer look though. The first thing I saw was a bunch of beautiful smiles. Study this picture again. Let the story it tells sink in. These women and many others, as well as their male comrades, paid this price for our freedoms. And, they did it for less than what welfare recipients are paid!!! There is more patriotism and class in those 11 ladies pictured than the majority of Congress and the former White House combined!!! And a HECK of a lot more than those over-paid athletes who choose to “take a knee” when the National Anthem is played!!! They risked these injuries (or death) FOR YOU and ME, AMERICA! GOD BLESS THEM ALL !!! Enjoy Life! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s amazing what America did in those days 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
