This Guy

My dad, Walter Jack Williams, ready to kick some fascist ass along with his compatriots in the 404th Fighter Group of the Army Air Corps, circa 1943.

He never spoke a word about his service and sacrifice, until late in his life. We had no idea what all these medals were for, what they meant. They were hidden in drawers until my mother got them out and created this display when they were both in their 70s. I’m grateful every day that he does not have to see the way his service, and that of so many others—those who gave everything to keep the hope of democracy alive—is demeaned and devalued by the likes of trump and his toadies!
