Congratulations first of all to your family and thank you for your service and theirs. I am sure that those family members who were married were also supported by their spouses~! And thank you for the NY Times page shot, oh I'm glad and relieved about this after having bonked them repeatedly for 'balanced' coverage! Yesterday I unsubscribed from the WaPo online subscription in protest of JBezos' greedy bootlicking. I celebrate Robert Kagan for walking out and would have liked to hear other journalists joining him and walking out in protest. Money talks, nobody walks out?

'will be unsubscribing no later than Nov. 5th; LA Times already cancelled; similarly shut down Amazon (Prime/subscription purchases/their awful audio quality music subscription too).

Due recognition. I have read great things about General Truscott and his service in the Second World War.

I can't imagine what our country would be like if it wasn't for people like the Truscotts. Many thanks!

Honor to your honorable grandfather! Thank you for sharing your pride in your son and your outstanding family!

One of the moments that a parent reflects on even to the last days, when your child does you proud. Yes, this was a reflection on his great grandfather but the award also honors him because he follows in the footsteps. You are and should be the proud father!

That’s incredibly special. My Dad was in Italy in the 10th Mountain Division and spoke so highly and respected his great grandfather… my Dad is buried on Riva Ridge. Appreciate your son’s service as well as all our military service men and women! Congratulations 🇺🇸👏🏼

I NEED to know if your cats are dressing up for Halloween. If so, pictures please. Great post. I need to make that a sign for my front yard.
