I do not use a communist social media platform. However, a retired cop sends me this one, and, reluctantly, I am posting it, it is that good. Whether the quote is partly factual is immaterial; the point is made. The poster proves that truth, beauty, and goodness are compatible.

“Paratrooper Bradford C. Freeman was only 19 years old when he jumped into Normandy, France, with the other members of Easy Company, 101st Airborne Division, the same division that was the subject of the miniseries, “Band of Brothers.”
“Recently, Freeman passed away in Caledonia, MS, at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangel. He was 97 and the last surviving member of his unit. Private First Class Freeman was a part of Operation Overlord and had a mortar base plate on his chest as he jumped.
“Freeman landed in a cow pasture, assisting a soldier who broke his leg in the landing before heading to meet the rest of the unit. After their mission in Normandy, Freeman and his unit fought in Operation Market-Garden.”
