Heroism.

September 4, 2020 ~ G Beckman ~ Leave a comment

My Grandpa, showing me the Silver Star he was awarded during WWII, after I called him a hero: "No, Gregory. The heroes are all still over there."

He limped for sixty years. Every year they said they'd have to take his leg. He died with two. A hero.#CowardInChief
