Valor Friday
It’s another busy week here at the Mason family household, so I can’t devote as much attention to this week’s Valor Friday post as usual. I’ll have to plagiarize benchmark this week’s article.

The Last Surviving Soldier Who Liberated Auschwitz Has Died
Sad news from Russia that the last of the liberators of Auschwitz has passed on. From NPR; David Dushman, the last surviving Soviet soldier involved in the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, has died. He was 98.

Valor Friday

How come it happened now and it’s okay to admit to it, but when it happened before and Trump got elected, it was some sort of wierd conspiracy? […]
Russian identity thieves steal Medal of Honor recipients’ names to fleece AAFES
This is an older case, but the information has just come to light. It seems that back in 2014 the US Secret Service got word that 22 Medal of Honor recipients’ identities were used to buy more than $50k worth of good. These goods were shipped to US addresses where unwitting participants (doing fairly common […]
Oh, Here We Go…..
The current occupant of the Oval Office has announced this morning that the “US is back!” in NATO. https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/politics/europe-applauds-bidens-approach-stresses-cooperation/ What that person is implying is that the US government (under Trump) expected the NATO allies to pay the entire thing.
