On this Day In History, PT 109 was cut in half

Poor Donald Trump was just a bone spur and 4 deferments in his Daddy's eye in '43.


lyrics:

"......McMahon, the irishman, was burned so badly he couldn't swim
leave me here, go on he said, cause if you don't we'll all be dead
the PT's skipper wouldn't leave him, a man to die alone at sea
with his strap, between his teeth, he towed the Irishman to the sea.


CHORUS:
Smokin fire upon the sea
everywhere they looked was the enemy
the heathen gods of old Japan
they thought they had the best of a mighty good man

JFK the only President worthy to call a hero before, during and after his election.
Sadly there will probably never be another President with the background,
heroic achievements and outright courage as JFK. This country could use one though.
Just MHO of course.
