When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.
General Eisenhower Warned Us.
It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect ..
'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some b*st*rd will get up and say that this never happened'
This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim populationwhich claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 70 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated while many in the world looked the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED'?
Because it offends some Muslims???

Remember when all classrooms had an American flag in them?
Do they even teach our children about the World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and 2001, or did it go the way of Pearl Harbor and Veterans Day?
Don't even mention Christmas or prayers in school. Many schools no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance and many children do not know the words to our National Anthem, or that we even have one!

This left out the gypsies who were equally persecuted by the Arians.

Ike also warned against the industrial military complex. Yep, the same group whom Trump crossed and got ol' sleepy Joe in there.

But why does no one ever talk about the 12 million murdered by Stalin?

But why does no one ever talk about the 12 million murdered by Stalin? That's because it was more like 35 million. Don't for get Mao. He managed to kill 50 to 100 million. The reason is the Democrats and the MSM, like the Russians and the Chinese, are anti-American.

failure to understand our history --- only helps us repeats our mistakes . last week , my 4 year old grandson was facetiming with my wife and I , he wanted to tell us he learned something new --- he then proceeded to sing the pledge of allegiance to us . Not gonna lie , it made me so proud --- I cried .

There are so many pictures of the death camps, even 8mm films of it and some folks still say it never happened. My dad saw it first hand and told me to never forget it happened. He never talked much about WWII but when he talked about the Holocaust, it was one of the few times I ever saw him cry.

Ike came to San Angelo during the bad drought of the 50โs. Huge crowd at Goodfellow AFB. He was popular in Texas for sure!

If you get the chance go through the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. I will freely admit that I was totally choked up, with tears in my eyes, when we walked out of that place. My wife and I were just silenced by what we saw and probably didn't say a word for about 15 minutes.
Family is everything! Life is precious. We donโt have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.
