My dad was there, too. He started in North Africa, went to Italy, went ashore on Utah Beach on D Day and did the rest of the tour, just as your dad did. He and your father are true heros in my book, but they would never describe themselves as such.
well shucks. Given the current regime in Afghanistan, it appears that ole RG did not in fact “defeat the Taliban on his own.” Darn. I bet he came really close though!
Your Dad landed on Utah Beach!? So did my Dad.
Goose bumps
Show the posts. Just like you tell me to do. I will accept posts of others saying they saw that Vera was there as you say.
Didn’t he also then contradict that statement by saying he could tell at a glance that the gun in question was out of bullets, and thus no danger to him?
Shhhhhhh. They don’t like inconvenient truths.
I’m aware.
Well, then I don’t understand your question, but no matter.
My Dad was my hero. He ran through the trenches of Europe. Lived in fox holes. And yes, was there the day Dachau was liberated. He didn’t talk about Dachau. He talked about the war but not Dachau. It was too horrific. Hero’s don’t brag.
Years ago I worked with a gal who’s husband was in the first wave to free a concentration camp—can’t remember which one and I subconsciously considered her a hero-by-proxy. Weird.
Your Dad was a hero!
Yeah he flew to Islamabad on his own and defeated the Taliban on his own.
Why don’t you say something intelligent otherwise go back to your mission in life……recording secretary for this QAnon like echo chamber.
Oh not an echo chamber? See how anyone with an opposing view is treated!

I cannot even imagine. Bless him.
Two of my training jobs were similar. I was paid a salary plus very nice housing plus good, fully paid health insurance to manage, train and teach at private farms. In both situations I was initially listed as an employee of the owner’s “real” business, mostly for the health insurance portion.

Your co-workers husband was definitely a hero

Yeah, he was very Hay-Man like!

Clearly your panties are in a twist.
There’s a remedy for that. Don’t wear panties.
Every time I read about someone being called a hero, I cringe. It seems that hero designation gets applied to anyone for anything. Pull a splinter out of a finger, you ate a hero.
You want to know who is a hero to me? Probably not but here ya go. A hero to me is someone who is selfless. Someone who has no ulterior motive for the action. Someone who does what has to be done for the greater good.
The young recruits who fought in WW II. Crawling through trenches. Living in fox holes. Seeing their brothers in arms killed before their eyes. Picking up the pieces so there is something for the loved ones to bury at home. Liberating Dachau.
The firemen and police officers who went into the burning buildings of the World Trade Center, knowing they may never come out.
Our Vietnam veterans, who came home to no support after being sprayed with agent orange, being tortured for a war about what.
The kids, teachers, parents who live daily with the possibility of being killed by a mass shooter, just by going to school.
Not everyone is a hero, nor should everyone wear that badge. The hero designation should be reserved for those that put others before themselves without reservation without expecting a party or a ticker tape parade.
If it is eventually determined that what has been claimed happened at HH that August day really happened as claimed, I may consider RG a hero, but only to the K family. Throughout his life he has not been selfless.
My apologies for going off on a tangent, this is a bug up my own butt.

Very well written, Maria.
@Inigo-montoya, I have another question about the texts.
If the plan that you, Lauren, and Robert Guy Goodwin were coming up with was to destroy the electrical system and then break the generator, what was your plan for providing water to the horses at the barn? Lauren’s horses were still there…horses need water…water requires electricity.
Just curious what the plan for that was.
here is no video evidence (I still think it’s awfully coincidental to have supposedly turned off the cameras that afternoon and for Rob to have told the cops he had video of the incident that never surfaced),
I would posit, based on those texts, that there were multiple parties that could access the cloud account where the videos were stored to have deleted them.
You hit the nail in the head! Heroes don’t brag!
Did RG ever call himself a hero? No.
But your friend, Eggbutt, calls him a punk!
Did you miss that? Are you good with that?
Has any coward on this site every called out Eggbutt for her BS?And for the record I thank your father for his service. My father, at the age of 18, was wounded in France just a few days before the Battle of the Bulge and spent 6 months in a hospital in England. It was only the advent of a new miracle drug, penicillin, which saved his life.
And he, like your dad, really hated to discuss his experiences.Is he a punk too, Eggbutt??
You, Eggbutt, are an absolute horror of a human being!
RG is no hero IMHO. He is a drug addict with a long arrest record. John Wayne, he ain’t.
Have you been to the WWII Museum in New Orleans? It is totally worth the trip. They have pieces of the gun turret walls that were at Utah Beach.

Nothing to call @eggbutt out for. I don’t agree with all of her postings, but no BS there. You seem terribly riled-up tonight. I hope everything is OK - your postings have more errors than usual.
