A Korean War soldier from NJ who was killed in action is finally given a full military funeral

 
A Korean war soldier from New Jersey who was killed in action 74 years ago was given a full military funeral Friday at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veteran Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown.

A large escort of over 200 people, including Veterans of Foreign Wars members, traveled from Maxwell Funeral Home in Little Egg Harbor to attend the burial.


U.S. Army Pfc. Anthony John Lopa, from North Arlington, was killed on Aug. 31, 1950, after being taken prisoner just weeks into his deployment. He was only 17, and his body was placed in a grave with five other soldiers.


Friday’s service included the playing of “Taps,” a three rifle volley and the presentation of an American flag to his family.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Aug. 31, 1950 was probably the battle of the Pusan Perimeter. The men deployed into that battle were under-equipped, and many under-prepared (men who had fought in the Pacific War had largely been shipped home years before). They held the line until the Inchon landing that upset Kim I's conquest-applecart.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
