SALUTE TO THE SUPREME SACRIFICE FOR OUR FREE REPUBLIC

Dear Madam, –

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

A. Lincoln

Let's give honor to our current president, for his brave military service in Vietnam! Biden has never disrespected our servicemen by calling them bastardos and never let them sleep on the capitol's concrete floor. He made sure that those guarding the capitol ate the best meals! His actions toward the military shows that you are deeply love by this President! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO THOSE WHO ARE SERVING AND SERVED IN THE MILITARY!!!

You are a stupid idiot.

Biden received 5 deferments for fucking ASTHMA!

Guess they have the same pollen in Nam as in Scranton!

As for troops, that is why they were sleeping in parking garages, while homeless and illegals get put up in holiday inns?

President Donald Trump received military draft deferments five times — once for bad feet and four times for college.
Thanks in part to the deferments, he did not serve in Vietnam.
The president has received criticism for dodging the draft, including from members of Congress. Was called "Cadet Bone Spurs."
Like Trump, many other young men from wealthy families found ways to avoid the draft.

And many mostly whites went to Canada and Mexico!
