My mom, who came to America from Nazi Germany as a teenager in 1940, couldn’t wait to get a job. She found one, replacing a family friend who was pregnant, at a factory manufacturing these ammunition boxes for the American military, helping to fight the fascism that she had escaped. Now at age 99, she can reflect on a life as a true American patriot, embodying more love of this country than the cowards who are degrading and undermining it in deference to our enemies, foreign and domestic.
@TheAbbotTrithemius That is true, in a bittersweet way. She has been receiving hospice care for months and is clinging tenaciously to life. Evidently this is common among Holocaust survivors and others of the Greatest Generation for whom fighting to survive is the baseline condition. 😿
