LCPL Slocum is one of many who gave all, please take a moment to recognize his sacrifice. LCPL Slocum, thank you for your service and your ultimate sacrifice, a grateful nation exists today because of you.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
I saw a large display of LCPL Slocum (and a few other lost souls) in Tipsy's about a year ago, it took me by great surprise and I was very glad to see it. Peace to all of his family.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
