My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Europe, including Normandy. We visited the American Cemetery and walked on Omaha Beach.
I was just over three years old on D-Day. If we had not succeeded in freeing Europe from Hitler’s fascism I would have grown up in an entirely different world.
Today we see creeping fascism across the globe, mostly from people who were not alive during that era and have no memory of it.
Much of this has been endorsed by our former president. We are seeing conspiracy theories, violent demonstrations, book banning, intolerance and hate. Some politicians are trying to control who is able to vote.
Democracy is worth fighting for. Please vote this fall.
Bill Brosius, Telford
