Thank God for Gideon and all those who pledged their all for their country and future generations of Americans!

We must never forget those who came before us!

Precious important story. Our WWll men and women were/are a phenomenal generation for us to look back upon. I can’t help but sing in my mind, the All In The Family theme song, “when boys were boys and men were men”. Those were the days!

This is the history we need to be teaching young Americans. There's no need to sugar coat warfare, just teach about the necessity to protect your home, your family, your nation, when the need arises and good citizens are called to duty.

Elmer Gegeon was selfless as he gave up a safer life as a professional baseball hero for one as a patriotic hero, fighting for the continued freedom of his country. Lt. Gedeon was a man I didn't know about until now. Thank you Tara.
