Just UGH. 😥😥😥

I used to NEVER talk about my service at work until the MAGA people started talking that patriotism bullshit.

And the only folks in my office who served were people of color. We started to make sure we discussed our tours and experiences proudly. And they were noticeably silent after they realized what the real deal was.

Fuck these fake patriot racists.

Rest in Paradise....
