Sisters are Doing it for Themselves; WWII edition

by: Jay Lassiter

Resolutions in the Trenton Statehouse are often more interesting than the actual votes. Yesterday the NJ General Assembly honored Anna Hoffman for her ground-breaking roll as a battlefield pioneer in WWII.

So before the votes took place (the legislature would pass family medical leave insurance) there was some pomp and circumstance.   Truly the most delightful vlog I have ever mashed up.

Want a thrill?

Go down to D.C. to the WWII Memorial on any warm day. Walk around, and look for old faces. When you find one, go up and ask if they were in the War. And if they were, ask them if they'll talk to you for a few minutes about it.

Most vets of that war are happy to be asked to tell you about it. We have Superheroes among us, people who saved our world from fascism. It's a thrill to hear what that was like from the people who were there - both men and women, and both those who were over there and those who made the tools, and made the sacrifices here on the homefront.

Great vlog, Jay. Thanks.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
