All were in the prime of their life and one of them, Jennifer Gonzales, was newly married and pregnant with her first child. I'm in Southern Cal now but hope to make a small detour to the Yountville Veterans Home and leave some flowers on my way back to the northwest. Not that flowers will help. It did not help after Marjorie Stoneman Douglas and did not help after Sandy Hook, and neither did it help at Columbine nor any of the other mass murders.
The infuriating thing is the complete inability of society to learn from these tragedies.
ReplyDeleteMike, you were/are in Califas? Why did you not try to contact my Charlie Papa?
ReplyDeletestruela@gmail.com ..... next time perhaps. Did the whackjob use an AR? The country's seriously going down the turlet. Words fail!

DeleteMy apologies. Have been in AZ and Cali. Visiting grandkids, meeting some greatgrandbabies for the first time, and also hooking up with a couple of my old partners-in-crime. Next time for sure....mcallen99@yahoo.com
Don't know what the whackjob used. Press has been mum. They are apparently too busy talking Stormy or speculating about Dotard-Meets-Rocketman.
Hope you are well. BTW, you were in 4th Marines right? You should post some memoirs. Did you get involved in the operation on the LZs and Firebases in the mountains above the Cam Lộ valley out west of Đông Hà?

ReplyDeleteSometimes society needs a two-by-four to the back of the head in order to facilitate learning.
Jeez Louise. I would have thought there were plenty of two-by-four whacks already. Every few days, in fact.
