The Soul of Our Nation is At Stake…

Commentary & Analysis

by

L. A. Marzulli

75 years ago today, my father, Olindo (Lynn) Quentin Marzulli landed on Utah Red beach in the D-Day invasion. He got his first of two purple hearts that day. He also received the Bronze Star.
He never could discuss what happened and when he tried to, he broke down in tears. However, on the 50th anniversary of D-Day, he spoke openly about it to me. We sat on the screened porch looking out at the spacious backyard which was his pride and joy in life as I asked him about what happened “over there.”
He talked about the landing in great detail. He told me there wasn’t much resistance like some of the other beaches. He said the action began to happen inland a little ways and that’s when he got hit and shipped back to England to recoup. About a month later he caught up with his men again. He was a lieutenant—later he attained the rank of Captain—and he led his men from the Hedge-rows of France to the Battle of the Bulge in Germany. His Bronze Star was given to him for what amounts to a suicide mission. He led his men across an open field to where the Germans were and there was hand to hand combat there.
My father, like so many of his generation, believed in our country and leadership. He fought for democracy, for freedom, for his love of America. Both of his parents were immigrants who got on the boat in Italy and made the long voyage to the “promised land” of America.
His parents, my grandparents, landed on Ellis Island and attained their citizenship legally. English was learned and was the first language spoken at their modest home in New Jersey.
My father was like many of his peers, an unsung hero who gave the best years of their lives to fight the fascist, totalitarian regime of the Nazis.
I know he would be appalled at the circus that is now Washington. Today, Nancy Pelosi stated that she wanted to see our president in jail. How do you have a government by and for the people when the other party wants to imprison the president and his family?
I know he would be astonished at what our media has become.
I grew up in the days of Huntley and Brinkley. They reported the news in an unbiased manner. Since then our media has become essentially the 5th column of the Democratic party. Other than FOX News, name me one positive story from a major media outlet about President Trump…just one.
We are at a crossroads in our country. The left openly decries white people as privileged. Pop singers fantasize about killing white men. How is that not a racist statement and why is there no outrage?
Wearing a MAGA hat can get you killed in some places in the USA. If you have a problem with making America Great Again perhaps you should move to the Peoples Republic of China, or better yet the socialist paradise that is Venezuela!
Our cities are becoming third-world-hell-holes. Needles, human feces, and homeless camps abound. In Los Angeles, there is talk of the Bubonic Plague as the rodent infestation has reached out of control levels.
San Francisco and Seattle, once tourist destinations, have become hell-holes as well. Why? Years of Liberal policies, high taxes, and big government programs—which don’t work—has led to their decline.
As I wrote a few days ago, where are the Republicans? Where is Mitch McConnell? Why haven’t they backed our president? Why are the seemingly content with letting the media and the Dems run rough-shod over our duly elected president?
Why hasn’t the media paid attention to the real collusion between the Obama Justice Department and 2016 elections?
Why don’t Pelosi and Schumer reveal their tax returns to us? Why are Obama’s college records sealed?
The soul of our country is at stake. All one needs to do is look at 30 years of liberal policies that is California to come to an understanding that high taxes and regulations aren’t doing anyone any good. There are now more people leaving California than coming to the once “golden state.”
The Dems only offer us abortion on demand, higher taxes, welfare for all, and cradle to grave control over our lives.
My father fought against fascism and the Nazi’s. He would never have embraced socialism and yet many in our country, who don’t understand and know history want us to go down this ruinous path.
Thanks Dad and to the men and women who gave their lives fighting for our freedom. Thanks for your service.
I only hope it wasn’t in vain and we will somehow retain the soul of our nation…

  2. Your blog today was fantastic and right on point. I believe that our once great nation is more polarized than the time of our first civil war. God help us.
    Sincerely, Marcus

  3. Thankful for your father’s service. My husband served, and also two of my sons. One son was given the bronze star for serving in Afghanistan. I only hope that, like you, the soul of the country is somehow preserved through the current political chaos we are witnessing. Thankful that God is in control, always, yesterday, today, forever.

  4. It is sad to say, but the same spirit that your father and my grand-father fought against has now come and rested in the hearts of some of the people and our elected officials. That spirit is the spirit of Antichrist. A great example and similarity being the tiny house craze that is going on now. The Germans moved the Hebrews into smaller and smaller spaces. In the here and now, people are moving themselves into smaller and smaller places – all in the name of reducing the carbon footprint? Oh my goodness, God made this Earth to continually expand. There are fruit and nut trees right now losing their fruit and it is dropping to the ground for who? Not man, but for the other little creatures that God made. I’m guessing at some point under AOC’s stupid deal they’d have nets under the trees catching the lost fruit and giving it away. All paid for by free labor. But I digress into the shameless stupidity of a dead spirit’s thoughts. Basically another government is rising up out of our own. Soon we will be caught away into a new governmemt and we will not see the new governmemt that is rising up. Really looking forward to that day. If anyone is reading this comment all the way through and you are not born again with having a living spirit, call out to the one who has the ability to give it-God. He certainly will come in and give you a whole new way of living. Get your reservation in now because time is running out.

  5. Well said LA and a heartfelt bowed head of gratitude to all those brave men of the US, who landed with the allied forces on that day.
    Your ancestors and mine will not be forgotten and their sacrifice will not be in vain, these people will be remembered in hearts and mind. Praise be to God.

  6. World War 2… wasnt about Nazi politics aka National Zionists according to General George Patton.
    The average German soldier fought against Russians and Americans because they were there. USAA chose to spread communism by gun barrel.

  7. Thank you for your post. Thank you for your dad’s heroic service. Great picture of him. His generation truly is the greatest generation of our country, and what selfless souls they were! My father was also a veteran in the Korean War. He was a P.O.W. Received a Purple Heart (shot in the head and survived). His experience doubtless affected him in ways I will never know or understand. He passed from this life 17 years ago, and I miss him every day. I would like to think that younger Americans today have been paying attention to the many programs currently airing about the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the history of World War II. I am hopeful that our younger generations are intelligent enough to think for themselves. The “multilevel marketing mainstream media” dominates the airwaves and the bandwidth these days (think ‘prince of the power of the air,’ because that’s who is really behind it), instead of unbiased truthful reporting as it should be. I am fearful for the future of this country, but I will never stop praying to our God, who holds our life and breath in his hands.
