Which of Your Heroes

we’re actually heroes.
I loved John Wayne and Chuck Norris, but they were actors and flawed men. Eddie Albert was a tv and movie actor was most stirring action role was in Green Acres tv show.
But, during WWII he piloted a landing craft over and over to pick up the wounded at the battle of Tarawa in the Pacific during WWII. He received a Bronze Star for bravery after the battle.
Josephine Baker worked for the French Resistance while singing in occupied France.
Which actors are the actual heroes that you know of?

Scouting to Be Cut By Kegsbreath

So is he worried about reports of child sex abuse in scouting? No, of course not. For Politician MAGA that is an asset, not a horror.

Sending T's and P's that Republicans Get Off Their Butts

https://share.google/YNRKJc5NrfiASWPk8

Instead of fascist performance art of sending military to Democratic cities only to have them do landscaping chores…..
You send squads to churches and schools so kids don’t get killed. Republicans are not doing anything except thoughts and prayers, and I doubt they even do that.
