I'm horrified, simply sickened by this past week. My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge....His family had brought him here at age 4, escaping the Red Army in the Ukraine. Thank you, Heather Cox Richardson, for helping to pull all this together. But how do we get out of this? Is there any way that doesn't involve WWIII? How can this be happening? And frankly, I'm worried about YOU. Please be safe!

My Dad was brought to North America in 1923 at 4 also (born 1919) from just outside Shaporizzhia, Ukraine for the same reason. He joined the British in 1939 and hit Juno beach with the Canadians in 1944 and crossed the Rhine at Remagen. He would be joining battle today being an original ANTIFA like his father, my Opa.
