I just learned my post about my Grandfather’s 549th NFS patch was taken down by Bill Kelso on his Facebook flight jacket group because my Profile Picture is a BLM logo.
First, he’s a coward. He could’ve come to me like a man and discussed it. I’m furious but mostly I’m just disappointed at this blatantly racist and politically-driven decision. Second, I left his group immediately. This isn’t what my Grandfather, a believer in civil rights, risked his life for on Iwo Jima in 1945.
Sorry to bring politics to this page, but it wasn’t my doing. I can also guarantee I’ll never order anything from him.
FYI, here’s my Grandpa’s patch and a pic of him and my Grandmother right before he left for Iwo.
