“The circle of life begins at home midst family, then sometimes it ends away from home, but still in midst of family, now called friends. They were as much my brothers as if we shared the same last name. I couldn’t have loved them more.” Jerry McConnell—First Marine Division, First Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion, K Company
It is important that as many Americans as possible wake up to the dire straits we are in, and it is especially important that the young adults of America wake up to how they are being led down a path to servitude, poverty, and mediocrity by the politica/banking/corporate elites.
Readers of Canada Free Press are familiar with the articles of CFP columnist Jerry McConnell. He has been effectively using his pen to fight for America, and exposing traitors, thieves, and scoundrels for years.
Many readers may not be aware that Mr. McConnell’s fight to defend America began many years ago—with a gun, not a pen. August 7, 2011, commemorates the 69th anniversary of Jerry McConnell’s arrival on Guadalcanal, and the start of that epic WW II battle. After his initial landing on the beach, it would be over four months before Jerry got to take a deep breath, and step back from the constant strain of battle.
When he departed “the ‘Canal,” he weighed 35 pounds less than when he left the United States . He was weak from dysentery; wracked with malaria, and had seen and done things that he never imagined before Guadalcanal. He was 18 years old.
