The 2nd and 3rd generations of Nazi despisers in the family are holding.

My dad's 7th Army unit was attacked by 88s in late winter 1945 en route from France to Germany in the Rhineland Campaign.

When his CO went down, dad, age 24 and an artillery lieutenant took over. He survived to receive the bronze star and his group continued to cross the Rhine into Germany at Worms in early March. They fought on and assisted the liberation of Dachau near Munich.

My father stayed on in the Army of Occupation and received care for battle fatigue.

He returned home safe thank God or I wouldn't be writing this note.

Fascism's resurgence and clear threat to democracy in the months and years ahead will require mass effort and resistance.

Time to get to work.
