Daniel Greenfield has an excellent article today on what it means to be a warrior:
https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-warriors-tale/How well I remember as a kid in the 1940's as we scrambled after those .30 Army cases after the Memorial Day services were over and honor guards shouldered their Krag rifles and marched away from the bridge. My dad carried one of those 1892 rifles when in the MN Home Guard in 1919 while brother Gustave was in the trenches in France and brother Henry was aboard the USS Arizona.
Today we honor those that did not come from all wars.
