Yet another group of patriots sent to battle without the necessary equipment. Just like W sent our boys to Iraq without the proper body armor and Humvees, now our medical staff doesn’t have enough PPE or equipment because of another republican president. He was warned back in November this would happen but it was all just a hoax…
Are we American citizens “collateral damage”? Tiny says that we (he) wins if we only lose 2 to 3 hundred thousand. Its a hell of a cost for the lost 5 or 6 weeks when we should have been preparing for today and tomorrow.
Even though you can’t hug ‘em, or even shake their hand, Healthcare professionals are just as courageous and heroic as soldiers running into no man’s land in WW1. Despite the gnawing terror they constantly feel for themselves and their families, many are willingly sacrificing their lives for others. Instead of a Drump presidential library when the horror clown is kicked out of office, let’s build a library in D. C., chronicling their bravery, or at least a memorial on the national mall.
Wagers of relentless, selfless trench warfare against an insidious and deadly enemy.
They are our courageous healthcare workers—putting it all on the line for us during this ravaging, relentless and spreading war against the coronavirus.
They perform their incomparable service at great risk to themselves, their families and their loved ones.
They deserve our unconditional support in doing whatever we can, and whatever we must, in order to protect those who protect us.
Teacher Peter Heck shares his thoughts on the service of our nation’s armada of courageous medical angels who are flying in and stepping up to shield and rescue as many of us as they can during this frightening pandemic that knows no boundaries and respects no persons.
We should know these heroes and respect them.

“Earlier this semester before coronavirus shut down our school corporation, I took a couple days out of our class time to show my students the World War I movie ‘The Lost Battalion.’ The film tells the harrowing true story of the roughly 554 American doughboys isolated in the Argonne Forest and surrounded by German forces.
“I remember watching these 17-year-olds stare at the screen as it depicted boys their own age climbing from the safety of their trench, ducking, dodging, and charging their way into what seemed to be certain death. We paused the movie to talk about the courage and valor it required. It’s a theme we had discussed before, from Chamberlain’s defense of Little Round Top to Pickett’s Charge. And it’s one we would revisit at Normandy and Iwo Jima. . . .”
I celebrate the bravery of all who dealt heroically with the trauma of 9/11. It is easier to celebrate the good in man than to chase down the evil that was at the root of 9/11. An ocean of good info relating to the details of 9/11 exist but few have the stomach to go after it. The following video outlines areas for further investigation. https://youtu.be/mYsB_-trTpQ?t=4
I hope that at some time you can honor those necessary workers who are facing exposure to the disease and NOT permitted to wear ppe, housekeepers, cashiers and other workers who daily go about their jobs at low pay and little consideration from the public.

The scene reminds me of WWI when the soldiers “went over the top”. Soldiers bolt action rifles and revolvers met machine guns.

This deserves an award of the highest order.
