The Old Reliables fought across Europe and the Mekong, then vanished in a budget cut at Fort Lewis. The 9th Infantry Division earned its name in World War II and later fought in the Mekong Delta. It came back to Fort Lewis in 1972. In the 1980s the Army turned it into a motorized test bed and issued some of the first Humvees to the division. Washington announced the inactivation in 1990 as part of the post-Cold War drawdown. Colors cased in December 1991. A leftover brigade lingered briefly as the 199th. Fort Lewis kept growing. The division did not. Should a division with that combat record have been the one they cut first?

The Bronze Star came out of World War II. President Roosevelt authorized it in February 1944. Ground troops were taking the same risks as aircrews, but the Air Medal was already on the books and there was no equivalent for soldiers fighting on the ground. The Bronze Star filled that gap. It is awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement in a combat zone. That wording is stamped on the back of the medal. Add a “V” device and it means valor, not just solid work under fire. It is not as famous as the Silver Star or the Purple Heart, but a lot of men earned it the hard way and never talked about it.

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD: Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS. Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets. 1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary], 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed], 3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible], 4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed]. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following: Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it? A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate. Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A: The Democratic Party. Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US AND MY FAVORITE: Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

🚨BREAKING:🚨RINO GEORGIA GOVERNOR KEMP, SECRETARY OF STATE RAFFENSPERGER ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK FULTON COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS FROM TURNING OVER VOTER DATA TO DOJ - An anonymous member of The Fulton County Board of Elections says that TREASONOUS Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are DESPERATELY TRYING TO PREVENT the board from complying with The DOJ's subpoena to turn over the county's voter rolls/data to determine whether LEGAL voters are actually voting in Georgia's elections. The Board member turned whistleblower says that he and the rest of the board members want to comply to help the Trump administration EXPOSE MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD that has been happening in the county and prevent yet another RIGGED election in Georgia... but that they are being INTIMIDATED AND EVEN THREATENED by Kemp and Raffensperger into not doing so. It appears that the devil has went down to Georgia once again and is looking for another election to STEAL... Who is paying these two TURNCOAT TRAITORS this time? They clearly have A LOT to hide. Do YOU want to see Kemp and Raffensperger face CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS OR WORSE for refusing to turn over this crucial voter data in A MASSIVE COVER UP?
