'The Most Devastating Act Of Mercy In History'

Via Free North Carolina:

It may be the most devastating act of mercy in history.A newspaper report chronicling how a boy of four was saved from drowning has surfaced in a German archive.The child – who historians believe could have been Adolf Hitler – was plucked from the icy waters of the River Inn in Passau, Germany, in January 1894.According to Max Tremmel, a priest who went on to become one of Europe's most famous organists, his predecessor Johann Kuehberger had rescued the terrified Hitler.Father Tremmel told before his death in 1980 how Father Kuehberger, around the same age as Hitler, had seen the other boy struggling in the waters of the River Inn and dived in to rescue him.The story was never verified by Hitler during his lifetime. But now a small cutting from the Donauzeitung - Danube newspaper - of 1894 has been found in Passau.

Just think,if the Father's attention had been averted for just another minute or so,how many lives would have been saved by just allowing that little boy to drown in that river.

'A Day That Will Will Live In Infamy'

70 years ago today the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.We remember all those who lost their lives in service of their country on this day and God bless all of you who survived that day.

If My Father New This,He Would Turn Over In His Grave

My father,John T. Gann,served in the U.S. Navy during WWII from 1942-45.He first served aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown CV-10,then later on aboard the U.S.S. Shannon DM-25 and he fought in most of the major battles in the Pacific during his service and was very proud of that service,as well he should be.

One of the things,Daddy,would always tell us is,"that Harry Truman saved his and many other sailors lives in dropping the Bombs on Japan.They had already received their orders to sweep the Southern Kyushu of mines and everything that the Japanese was throwing at them at that point was kamikaze attacks."

At no time was,Daddy,ever sorry for anything he did in service of his country during the war.

And now we learn Obama wanted to do this:

Leaked cables show Japan nixed a presidential apology to Hiroshima and Nagasaki for using nukes to end the overseas contingency operation known as World War II.

Mr. President you maybe sorry that our fathers fought to win in WWII,but I have news for you pal,neither they,or their children,or most Americans are sorry or ashamed for doing what was necessary to win the war,by dropping the Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Today Is June The 6th-D-Day

On this day 67 years ago the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy and began the liberation of France and Europe from Nazi Germany.God bless all the men who took part in Operation Overlord.To those who are still with us and to those who have passed away and most importantly those who remain there today as silent guardians of liberty,thank you for your service and your bravery,you saved the world from tyranny.

No one has ever paid a better tribute to those brave men as Ronald Reagan did at the 40th anniversary of the battle in 1984;
