D-Day, June 6, 1944...

It was said by President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, would be a day that "would live in infamy".

And it was for the nearly 3,000 Americans killed, not to mention the hundreds wounded, including civilians going about their Sunday duties to attend church and give thanks to God for all the goodness enjoyed by the greatest country ever to exist on earth.

No, I'm not some teary-eyed sentimentalist, not by a long shot, but I do recognize the land of my birth; my fatherland, and my responsibility to fight, if necessary, for it, all the way up to, and including, the ultimate sacrifice...

As it was for those military services that were thrust into war on that fateful day, nearly 78 years ago.

After much blood and sacrifice of life and limb, the day came for the invasion of Europe to free those countries being strangled by the German armies of Hitler and the Third Reich.

The future president Eisenhower was then a five-star general -- the Supreme Allied Commander of all allied forces in the European theater of operations.

The General had to make another fateful decision as to when to invade... the weather was gruesome, with storm-front after storm-front battering the coast of Normandy.

There were literally several million men under arms waiting for the word to "go".

That word came on June 6 (1944)… The invasion was on!

When the low clouds and coastal fog finally cleared, the Germans manning the gun-bunkers along the uncountable miles of beach, saw something they thought was a dream -- more like a nightmare to them!

Close to 5,000 ships were staring them right in the face!   Right smack in front of them!

There was no place to run, no place to hide...

When they came to their senses, they prepared for the worst, and that preparation meant a blood-bath for the American, British, and Canadian landing force that would soon face almost certain death when the landing craft swung open the hatches and let out its human cargo...

And that's exactly what happened....

When the steel flaps fell down to let the men hit the beaches, German machine-gun nests opened up and massacred thousands of troops as they hit the water.  Some, didn't even make it out of the water; some were shot; some drowned; some were blown up into pieces...

It was hell on earth!

But after the initial, hard-fought success, the next wave came ashore and re-enforced those that made it inland, even if only for a few hundred yards or so...

Those in the German high command knew that if the allies could gain a foothold on the beaches, and breech the defenses, then the war would eventually be lost.  They were right.

This was D-Day, June 6, 1944...

Today, one can see the "sea" of crosses of those that lost their lives helping to free the French and other peoples of Europe suffering under the barbaric Hitler...

This short article is just a little reminder that we should never forget D-Day, and the cost of freedom...

Pray for our country...

The Goal of The Communists/Socialists/Liberals...

In this post-truth age, the enemies of the people (and Christ!) are the Socialists/Communists, and, by extension, the Liberals...

What is the goal of these miscreants?

It is quite simple: a Godless society where anything goes, a la the French Revolution.  The revolution that took place over 200 years ago, is alive and well right here in the U.S. of A., as well as numerous countries around the world, especially in Western Europe.

The mantra of the hard Left is tolerance -- but not tolerance of opposing ideas!  So, in effect, there is no tolerance of opposing views, especially those that believe in, and follow God, their Creator.

But it is not only hate of God, but of His greatest gift to us: new life, as co-creators with Him in multiplying and subduing the earth.

And it is not "just" abortion that is taking the almost uncountable lives of our little fellow humans, but now it's also infanticide!  Who on earth would have thought that such murder would be almost universally accepted as a "woman's right"?!

We now have prominent politicians on the Left advocating for infanticide as well as abortion up to birth!   But it gets even worse, if that were possible: the "right" to kill a toddler up to three years old!  There are actually lunatics now calling for such barbarism...

Again, the Communist and Socialist hate life and the building block of society, the family.  They are not stupid; they know if the family unit is destroyed, then the almighty state will become the "family" of mankind.  

They also hate the natural right of self-defense and the necessary defense of a country's borders, not only to preserve the culture of that country, but also to keep out those enemies that wish to eradicate a free people, and establish their own version of "sovereignty".

We cannot look toward one particular politician or one particular political party to be our savior.  No, we must look upward -- always upward! -- to the One that gave us life and the hope of being with Him forever after we leave this earth.  No one else will suffice; no one!

Pray for our country now more than ever.

A Christ-less World is a Dead World...

This is a self-evident fact...

The weakened human nature of mankind, relies more on itself than God.  In effect, man becomes his own "god".

Currently, the world is witnessing a terrible revolution of the anti-Christ, taking hold even in the heart of what used to be the Catholic world: right smack in the Vatican where the ancient St. Peter's is located and visited by uncountable millions each and every year.

But what is it that they are visiting?  Is it the Church that Christ established on the Rock of St. Peter?  Or, is it a façade masquerading as the authentic Church, but in reality is nothing but a shell of its former self?

Yet, today, fortunately, we see the resurgence of a movement of faith in the countries that once were thought to be lost to the Marxists and globalists of years gone by.  Those recently elected officials in Italy and Brazil are testimony to this fact.  Both countries have now formally dedicated their lives and the very survival of their countries to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ, our Lord and Savior.

So, with the power and love of the Blessed Mother, who can fear?   And now, even the pope refuses to meet with Salvani of Italy because he is a Nationalist?  Really?

I can assure you, that hell is furious and will unleash all its power to counter this new movement toward the Mother of Christ!  But to no avail!   Our Lord, Himself said the gates of hell will never prevail against His Church -- the CATHOLIC CHURCH!  There is NO OTHER!

To fallen-away Catholics, and non-Catholics, don't be fooled into thinking that with all the homosexuals in the Church abusing the youth over the years, that makes the Church, herself corrupt.  It does not!  The Church is perfect!  The Bride of Christ!  Christ could never be the Head of a corrupt Body, the Church.

Remember, He did not promise that the Church would consist of expensive buildings with lavish art work, no, He said that there would be a Remnant; the Elect, whose names will be written in the Book of Life...  Those who hear My voice are of God and hear the truth...

I invite all fallen-away, and non-Catholics to come into the Church, the one ark of salvation!  Be part of the Elect!

Pray for our country...

Warzone in Gun-Controlled Chicago...

Chicago has the most restrictive gun policies in the country, and that includes New York City (the town run by that communist mayor, de Blasio).

Some of the following information is from an article from Zero Hedge...

Over the Memorial Day weekend, 42 people were shot, and 7 died of their wounds.

Every 3 minutes and 57 seconds, someone in Chicago is shot. A person is murdered about every 18.5 hours.

For the month, 40 people have been shot and killed, 175 people shot and wounded, and a total of 43 homicides. 

Year to date, 174 people have been shot and killed, 720 people shot and wounded, and a total of 189 homicides.

You see, my dear friends, the useful idiot, liberal politicians that run that butcher shop, can't get it through their thick heads that the outlaw -- the bad guy; the gang member; the drug lords, etc. -- don't buy their weapons at a gun shop and go through the background checks as the law-abiding folks do.  The bad guys can get any weapon they choose, so long as they have the money -- it's called the black market.   

So, in effect, the good and decent folk are prey for the murderers as they go about their daily business, hoping and praying that their neighborhood will not become another Hue (do a search and see what happened to Hue during the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam...).

But this is all about control: control of our Constitutional right to bear arms -- against the enemy.  And make no mistake, the enemy are the outlaws, plain and simple.

Remember, it is NOT the job of the police to prevent crime, it is the job of the police to RESPOND to crime, and by that time, it could very well be too late for the law-abiding, innocent, man, woman or child to continue to breath air...

Pray for all those killed and wounded in Chicago over this past weekend, and pray for a quick end to Liberalism, and those that perpetrate the hoax of their version of "freedom"...

As Ben Franklin famously said (paraphrasing): those that give up their liberties for security, deserve neither...

MEMORIAL DAY, 2019...

Please don't say "Happy Memorial Day" to me...

But do say: "...thank you for helping to keep the South Vietnamese people free, and thank you for serving our country in time of need, and war."

Memorial Day is not a happy day.  It is a sad day.  But it is a necessary Day for all Americans to remember that without a military force, there would be no United States of America.

I went to Vietnam on December 16, 1967.  As you can see, that was right before Christmas.  I wasn't angry that I would miss that special day celebrating the birth of our Lord, because I volunteered to go to South East Asia -- 12,000 miles from home.

I returned to the U.S. -- the "world" as we used to say, on December 16, 1968.

Over 58,500 of my brothers did not come home to live, but to be buried, and many are now lying in Arlington National Cemetery, their home until the end of time.

Here is a poem that I wrote for my book: Tragedy and Triumph at Sun Valley...

TO MY BROTHERS:

Side by side we stood,
Black or white, it made no difference.
Catholic, Protestant, Jew, or atheist.
I may not have liked you, but I loved you.

Only God can give and only God can take away,
But Charlie took and never gave.
Why did my bunker-mate die and I live"
To fulfill my dreams but not his?

Yet he is with me always -- in my dreams,
Not wanted there, as I struggle to sleep.
Lord help me to live and not just exist;
Take this burden from my soul.

Have mercy on them that stayed,
Some here, some there.
Arlington is their home now,
As mine will some day be.


I remember the day myself and a large group of GIs were waiting for our plane to arrive at the Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, air terminal to take us home to the U.S.

The plane was over 12 hours late.

We were wondering if we would ever get out of that place...

But the commercial airliner arrived; we boarded the jet; it was packed.

But it was quiet, very quiet...

That is, until the pilot announced that we were out of missile range.  At that point, the GIs erupted in cheers and happy yells!

Our lives, however, would never be the same...

Pray for our veterans as I pray for all my brother Vietnam veterans every day...

This Is Very Difficult For Me To Watch...

I love my country.

But I see a nation divided, not as the hard-Left incessantly says that our nation is divided because of Mr. Trump, or the Republican agenda in general, but because of the daily slaughter of the pre-born, and now the born.

What on earth can be more "dividing"?

Tiny, developing girls and boys are destroyed because it is "legal"?

When will this end??

"We" are accused of not having "feelings" or love for our neighbors, especially the illegal aliens flowing into our beloved fatherland like an uncontrolled tsunami, but their reasoning is disingenuous at the very least, and planned and diabolical at worst.

The Left doesn't care about anyone except themselves.  They have set themselves up as god.  To hell with everyone else!

They care little for the future of our country and the future generations that will come in spite of their attempt to control and reduce the population through unrestrained abortion, along with euthanasia, rampant homosexuality, and now infanticide.

The family is their target: the antithesis of the demon...

Most of the liberal, elected representatives in the Congress and the Senate, as well as in many states across the nation, are quite Pharisaical in their actions -- they tell us that we must do as they say, but they live otherwise...

Christ was very specific: He said that their father is the devil.

The modern-day Pharisees may wear three-piece suits, dresses or skirts; they are as slick as grease and lie with straight faces.

Things will only get much worse before they get better, but they will get better because God will not be mocked!  He will intervene, if necessary, into our earthly affairs if, we, as a nation do not repent of our uncountable sins against life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under His divine laws as revealed through His (Catholic) Church...

One remedy for this on-going tragedy, is prayer, and a lot of it.  So, I say again: pray for our country..

What's Really Behind The Push For Unrestricted Abortion?

Population control, with the ultimate goal of population reduction to "save the planet".  At least that's what the leftists are spewing, but the real aim is to "purify" the races a la the Nazi plan for a master race.

We all know -- I hope -- that abortion encompasses many things, among them is the wiping out of those pre-born, and now the born, children that are deemed disabled, the wrong sex, or perhaps, the wrong color?

Who is sponsoring this vicious attack on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?  The elitist monsters who have abandoned God, their Creator, to become their own petty, little gods.  Billions of dollars of blood money is being poured into these efforts by many of those founders of "social media", as well as diabolical billionaires such as Soros, et el.

Margaret Sanger, the foundress of what was to become "planned parenthood," was a proponent of eugenics from the beginning of her reign of terror against black Americans in the southern U.S.  She was routinely praised by none other than Hitler himself for her efforts to eradicate blacks from American soil.

To this very day, many of the larger abortion mills are located in the urban areas heavily populated by blacks, along with Hispanics and other groups.  True, some Hispanics still retain some remnant of their Catholic/Christian faith, so the idea of killing their developing baby is still considered a monstrous act of mayhem and death, which, of course, it is.

There is another element here that has to be mentioned, and that is the unfettered "right" for unrestrained, promiscuous sexual activity with no one to answer to.  After all, contraception is readily available for the females (and also the males), and, if a "mistake" occurs, then there is always abortion: the "legal" killing of the conceived baby.

What the Left fails to mention is the very uncomfortable fact of the consequences of multiple sexual partners: the quick spreading of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).  Not to be left out of the equation, is an epidemic of syphilis among homosexuals!

The hard Left always accuses us pro-life, "right-wingers" of perpetrating a "war on women", but they are the real killers of female babies -- the real war on women!

Pray for an end of abortion, and pray for our country...
