Our departed relatives, who fought in WWI and II, have come to help us.

My Dad was an ardent Dem, from Boston like JFK.
Dad of course lived on the poor side of the Irish section of Boston,
and JFK on the rich side.

But the Kennedys were part of the fabric of daily life in Boston
for my dad growing up. The paper was always full of news about the Kennedys.
Every time Rose Kennedy got pregnant it was all over the local newspapers
and people were talking about it. Grandma used to joke when did she get
front page every time she got pregnant.

Yep, my dad is in the crowd that put that rainbow together.
Damn Trump.
