My Great Uncle

[MASTERS]

Soldiers like him are why I get ****** when people refuse to stand for the National anthem. It's disrespecting the sacrifice these soldiers made for our freedom.

He looks to of been a very young man when he passed.

I bet he never needed a"Safe Place"!

Yep, they don't make many American's like they used to these days....

True bad ***! Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome! By far the greatest generation this country has ever had. These guys would roll over in their graves if they knew what this country has turned into after having fought for it all those years ago.

Awesome. I have my fathers flag.

Best post of the year. God bless him and I thank him for his service..the definition of a real man and a true hero.

A true American Hero. Thanks for sharing.




I received my dads flag on the 12th.

Good stuff! And my condolences.

Exactly. Those ****wads have hours of television time to protest but don't want to lose any money during the game so choose the two minutes we set aside for the "I respect my flag and veterans song" to **** all over both.

What an incredible story. Talk about determined! First he knocks out a machine gun nest with grenades and kills the last one with his rifle. Then he gets shot (mortally) in the stomach but yet faces down and kills the next one before passing on himself. Wow that is something to be very proud of. Men like him are why we won the war and why America is such a great country. Gave me chills to read all of that.

And thank you for your service. We are a great nation because of people like you.

Thanks for sharing the story. Hero indeed.

That's a man right there.

Amazing story and he definitely lives up to "that's a man right there!"

Moved into a new house and setting up the flags, thought Id reshare this.

I'm glad you did. I missed it the first time. That generation of men was something else. I'm glad I got to know many of them. A few of that generation, Grandpa, great uncles, etc., shaped my life more than they knew.

American Hero! Thank you and your uncle for your service.
