Tomorrow, 5/27, is Memorial Day. A few days ago I watched on C-SPAN a ceremony placing the ashes of Korean War Medal of Honor winner Colonel Ralph Puckett in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol for viewing. Above you see a picture from the event. Here is the ceremony from 2021 where Colonel Puckett was awarded the medal. My father, Corporal Anthony S. Aquino of Providence R.I. was a Korean War combat medic. He served honorably and paid a life-long price for his time in war. Watching C-SPAN, it made me ill to see House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Mitch McConnell connected in any way to honorable service. Both are responsible for our politics today and for January 6, 2021. You see Capitol Police in the picture above. They should have arrested Johnson and McConnell for the events of January 6. Donald Trump speaks well of murderous North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. I'm glad my father died before Donald Trump became President and before the treason of January 6. My father was not militaristic & spoke of the equal humanity of the American, Korean and Chinese people he encountered in war. Please recall the Korean War and Korean War veterans as well as the massive number of civilians who died in the war. Let's work together for peace, freedom and respect for all.
