Thank You Veterans

 


Honoring the Memory of Grandpo McIntyre: A Heart Surgeon and War Hero Resting in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington Virginia.
Today, we pay tribute to the remarkable life of Grandpo McIntyre, a true American hero. Serving as a heart surgeon and achieving the rank of Colonel in World War II, Grandpo embodied courage and sacrifice on the battlefield.
During World War I, Grandpo's bravery knew no bounds. His duty involved running from the trenches on the French battlefields amidst German attacks to retrieve fallen American soldiers, his comrades, and his friends. With reverence, he did that required job - ensured their dog tags were collected and delivered to their grieving families—a solemn task that spoke volumes of his character and compassion.
Despite his unwavering dedication, Grandpo was unfortunately denied the proper benefits and title he rightfully deserved. This injustice left him disillusioned with the military, a sentiment he carried throughout the rest of his life. Sadly shortly after WWII, he died of a heart attack. That's what happens when you fight 2 world wars. However, amidst the challenges, Grandpo's resilience and foresight shone brightly. Investing in $5 bonds like Coca-Cola and General Motors during the war, he and Grandma McIntyre navigated through the Great Depression and two world wars with unwavering strength and determination.
As I reflect on his legacy, let us not forget the sacrifices made by Grandpo and countless others like my veteran friends here on Facebook - Thank you! Their struggles and triumphs serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and spirit of the American people. In today's world, where democracy is questioned and adversities abound, let us honor Grandpo's memory by upholding the values he held dear and striving for a better tomorrow.
Rest peacefully, Grandpo McIntyre. Your legacy lives on in our hearts forever. You finally are getting some respect. #peace #liberty #freedom #veterans

Open Letter to President Trump about Russia and Iran

Image
  My Open Letter to President Trump: If you're truly "pissed" at Putin and considering heavy sanctions--don't hesitate. Do it. Crush Putin, and your popularity will skyrocket. Forget Iran. Forget Putin. You know you want to. Russia and Iran are allies - the new axis of evil, and now is the time to bring hellfire down on them. This could be your "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" moment. Imagine the legacy--Putin overthrown, a turning point in history with your name on it. I once spoke to Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (photo below--don’t mind my cross-eyed look). Yes, I like some Republicans--Sununu, for instance, is sharp and always great on Real Time with Bill Maher. When I asked him about Putin, his response was simple: "We need to step on his throat." Both Democrats and Republicans agree--Russia must be stopped before it escalates into World War III. I want peace too, but as Reagan said, "Peace through strength." Now...

Pete Buttigieg for President in 2028?

Image
At 43, Pete Buttigieg has hinted at retirement but left the door open for a potential return—perhaps even a presidential run. Imagine that: a non-billionaire under 80 in the race. What a refreshing concept. Buttigieg champions abolished the Electoral College, restored voting rights for felons who’ve served their time, and prioritized election security. As a proud member of the LGBTQ community, he represents a historic milestone—no openly gay man has come this far in American politics. No draft dodger - he was an intelligence officer and lieutenant in the Navy - served our country proudly... so I ask: why not? Here's to Pete—power and glory to him. peace and love, Evan Here is his letter (and the last paragraph where he hints at 2028 is exciting the base) In the weeks since I left office in January, I’ve been committing my time and attention to the kinds of things that inevitably get shorted when you serve in public office, no matter how much you try to do right by them. I’ve been...

Love that Cannot Be Fulfilled

Image
  I had plans to marry my first and only real girlfriend ever, Stepheny. We loved each other and doors opened for us everywhere. At the time my dream was to be Governor of Idaho so I could protect the beautiful national parks there and wildlife ecosystem. I knew together we could do anything...but it was very tragic...like Romeo and Juliet how it ended - forces drove us apart. I can't really talk about all the details for obvious reasons - maybe someday for a memoir. My dad often told me how sad the whole situation was. But, this song below by another Welsh man like me (Howard Jones) sums it up for me and reminds me of Stepheny. Phil Collins produced it and is on drums. This song seems to be a bunch of metaphors portraying a mutual attraction/love that can’t be fulfilled and/or is forbidden. It means different things to different people said Howard Jones. You can listen to my interview with him on www.clubevan.com : ClubEvan.com: in the "Radio" section: The Howa...
