LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Dear AMAC Member, As I sit down today to write this letter, I am reminded of the great patriots who have served our nation. My grandfather comes to my mind, a combat-weathered World War II and Korean War veteran who fought alongside the men of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. My brother wrote a beautiful story about him, remind- ing us all that the men of the 442nd lived up to every word of their “Go For Broke!” motto. This rallying cry highlights the fact that they were willing to risk their lives in one big effort to win. Today, the 442 nd is remembered as the most decorated unit in the history of the US Army. My grandfather was a stoic man, a quite handsome man with a slender and chiseled face, blue eyes that could dazzle. What he faced and the emotions he experienced when his unit marched through Italy I will never know, but one thing I will never forget is his prayer at the kitchen table that America would never see war like that again. I imagine what my grandfather would think if he were to witness the deterioration of our children’s public education, the indoctrination of far-left social ideology and “wokeness” aimed to tear apart America’s moral fabric and destroy all hope of the American dream. He would be shocked to see how quickly so many have forgotten all that his gener- ation fought for. He would be alarmed that schools have gone woke, stunned to see the power and influence of big tech, legacy mainstream media, corporations and universities, our FBI, DOJ, and current administration, along with influential members of the “deep state” all aiming to give more power to government. And he would be pained to witness how the freedoms he and countless others fought for are trampled. You know what I think he would say? “Go For Broke!” In the spirit of the great men and women who risked or gave their lives in defense of freedom, let us remember that, try as evil might, they can’t take away our will, our courage, or our faith. My grandfather knew that very well. From all of us at AMAC, we hope you find this issue of your AMAC magazine insight- ful. Please share your magazine with a friend or neighbor and help spread the word that AMAC is committed to fighting for America’s seniors on both the national and local levels. Be sure to check out how AMAC Action is fighting for you on page 38. God bless you always!
