Joe Perricone was in the middle of his senior year of high school and looking forward to graduating with the Class of 1943 when he was drafted into World War II.
Perricone fought with the U.S. Army in World War II, facing off against the Germans. He traveled through France, Belgium, Denmark and the U.K. before he was able to return to the U.S. after 1945. By the time he'd returned home, he was beginning his life with Hope, who he married, and thoughts of graduating become a distant memory.

Analysis | Trump figures that, except for the media, he’d be as popular as FDR during World War IIAnalysis: Trump figures that, except for the media, he’d be as popular as FDR post-World War II He’s thinking of Neville Chamberlain, not FDR. If he actually got out among people other than the select crowds at his rallies, he'd see that was not true-will be interesting to see how he avoids the protests in the UK & Ireland while there. WAPOOP! 💩💩. Is the propaganda machine for the democrats

Opinion | Honor our WWII veterans while they are still among usAccording to VA statistics, we’re losing our World War II veterans at a rate of about 348 per day. Honoring is actually providing a system of integration by means of job opportunities, emotional and mental medical care, and better services rendered at the VA. Saying thank you for your service is like saying to mothers of children killed by gun violence though & prayers. Greatest generation ever! My great Uncle dropped in Utah Beach zone on June 6th, 1944 as a paratrooper. I cried like a baby at his funeral when I was 33 years old. Both of my parents served in the Navy in WWII. Sadly, neither after alive. However, if they were they'd be very mad about the FASCIST POTUS; a Hitler, Mussalli want-a-be.
