Of all the European cities we visited during our USAF assignments in Germany, Munich is my favorite. After practically all German cities were leveled during allied bombing raids by the 8th Air Force under the Army Air Corps, Munich decided to do something the other European cities did not. They chose to rebuild the city to what it looked like before the war. Today, Frankfurt and other large cities look as sterile as a dentist’s office, while Munich has character and old world charm.

And from a cultural perspective Today, it is very difficult to reconcile the peace-loving Bavarians in their lederhosen and drindel dresses playing Tubas and performing woodcutter dances, to the atrocities headquartered in Munich and Berchtesgaden during the rise of Hitler and his Brownshirts.

After 4 years in Germany, I came away with the sense that many of the German people were just as victimized by Hitler’s demonic lust for power as the rest of Europe was, as well as the allied nations who came to their rescue.

Indeed! I love J.D. Vance, but Rubio has soared to my pick for the next President.

That was a great speech! Hopefully, everyone there understands America’s stance on the visions that we are striving for! Only thing is I have to sadly say we have a party that wants to tear it all down.

Bob and I definitely think Rubio will be in the history books and we agree with your words here 100%.
