Would say, okay, what can we do to help you set up the situation so it\u2019s better for your people? We didn\u2019t say, okay, we won, now we\u2019re taking over. That\u2019s not our thing. That\u2019s what separates us from the rest of the world. Rush was involved in a number of charitable organizations that support the troops, support the cops, the firefighters, and the people that put their lives on the line. That\u2019s why, it\u2019s interesting, because conservatives, as I mentioned earlier, we look at that, many of us, in awe.<\/p>\n<p>Because part of their job is to put their life on the line, and people will often say, &#8220;Well, it\u2019s their job.&#8221; Yeah.

I was there at a Rockville Centre, Long Island, home where the idea for the thing came together. A bunch of ex-Marines, FBI agents, and executives decided to start this foundation, which would provide college scholarships for the children of Marines killed in action. And this was back in the mid-nineties sometime. There\u2019s a great, great bunch of people. It\u2019s basically pass-through. Nobody is making a living running this charity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mc-lef.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-382499\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-022221-Rush-Marine-Corps-Law-Enforcement.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-022221-Rush-Marine-Corps-Law-Enforcement.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-022221-Rush-Marine-Corps-Law-Enforcement-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-022221-Rush-Marine-Corps-Law-Enforcement-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>The amount of money that goes through, I mean, the only thing that gets expensed, I think, is postage and a couple other things.

The money all goes to the recipients. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mc-lef.org\/\">Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>KEN: And Rush just jogged so many great memories there for me. I\u2019m sure you as well. I was a citizen member of the Marine Corps League for many, many years. And it was such an honor to be part of it as I worked with him as a member of media and as a member of the citizenry to raise money and do events with them. And I was invited to Washington, D.C., to watch the evening parade where the Marines are in Washington, D.C. If you ever have an opportunity to see that, if you want to feel the power of what they do. How they feel about America, how they feel about the flag, the evening parade is an event that if you can participate in it &#8230; I\u2019m getting goose bumps talking about it now to you.<\/p>\n<p>The photographs I got were incredible, and it\u2019s quite a thing. They have this in a lot of different branches of the military, and I don\u2019t want a Marine now to beat me up \u2019cause I just said that, please. I\u2019m just saying that each branch of the military has a special thing that they do to showcase the greatness of their branch, and their love for America. And if you ever have an opportunity to be invited to one of those as a civilian, you vets know what I\u2019m talking about, but as a civilian it\u2019s such a&#8230; it\u2019s so overwhelming. Because I think it takes something like that to remind civilians of what a special place the military has in our history.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>KEN: On this Friday before Memorial Day though, we\u2019d like to revisit a phone call <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2014\/05\/23\/the_meaning_of_memorial_day\/\">Rush took about the importance of understanding the meaning of Memorial Day.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ed, Winter Springs, Florida, you\u2019re next on Open Line Friday. Hi. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I called specifically to talk about something Congress did that I\u2019m proud of. I gotta reach way back, Rush, I gotta reach back 43 years, but in 1971 Congress passed legislation to make Memorial Day a national holiday. And, you know, June 6th, Rush, just two weeks from now &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311340\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-D-Day.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-D-Day.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-D-Day-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: &#8212; we\u2019ll be recognizing the 70th anniversary of D-Day. We had 400,000 American veterans lost in the war to end all wars, and I just think it\u2019s so important that we remember what we\u2019re recognizing this Monday on Memorial Day. It\u2019s not a barbecue day. It\u2019s not a big sale day. It\u2019s a day that we need to recognize and remember those veterans that fought for us and valiantly died so that folks like you, Rush, could exercise your First Amendment rights to free expression on the radio, because was it not for them, Rush, we\u2019d be living in a completely different country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, there\u2019s no doubt about that. When you talk about this, the 70th anniversary of D-Day, there hasn\u2019t been anything like it since. So if you are 35, maybe even 40 years old or younger, it\u2019s nothing more than a moment in history to you, if you don\u2019t have any relatives who were old enough to have actually lived through it.<\/p>\n<p>My dad, all of my friends\u2019 parents fought in it or participated in some way; grandparents, too. So D-Day, World War II, Battle of the Bulge, those are all very real things. Hitler, all of that, was very real. It\u2019s just a historical moment now for young people, like the Depression was a historical moment for me. I\u2019ve gotta take a break, but I\u2019m gonna expand on this point here when we get back.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_60b13730766b210001e8051b\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/60b13730766b210001e8051b.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>When I was growing up &#8212; I was born in 1951, the great Depression was in 1929, 1930. I wasn\u2019t even a &#8212; well, wait a minute. I could have been a thought in my dad\u2019s mind. I don\u2019t know. But 1951, 1929, 1930, there was no way that I could experience it, obviously. But growing up, my dad and my grandfather, I mean, it was one of the most formative events in their lives. It was the primary reason that my father had as his single objective for me that I get a college degree, because if you did not have an education during the Great Depression you didn\u2019t have a prayer of getting a job, any job. And back then there wasn\u2019t welfare. You didn\u2019t eat if you didn\u2019t work. You didn\u2019t have a radio if you didn\u2019t work. You didn\u2019t have all the creature comforts that people that don\u2019t work today have. So it was a must.<\/p>\n<p>And the Great Depression also had as another formative aspect saving money. So growing up, I was inundated with, what if there\u2019s another one? You must be prepared if there\u2019s another depression. It was something so bad, it was so intense, it shaped their lives to such a degree that it was something they wanted to prepare their kids to be able to stand and endure, were it to happen again. So we were constantly reminded how bad it was. In the midst of abundance and prosperity and expanding economic times. The fifties boom and everything post-World War II was booming. And even while that was going on, my brother and I were constantly warned that the bottom can fall out at any time like it had back then. So education and saving money, we were drilled with.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-394054\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-042321-TRIBUTE-Rush-Dad-ww2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-042321-TRIBUTE-Rush-Dad-ww2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-042321-TRIBUTE-Rush-Dad-ww2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-042321-TRIBUTE-Rush-Dad-ww2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In response, I said, &#8220;Dad, look, I\u2019m sure it was bad. But I didn\u2019t live it. All I can try to do is understand it. I can\u2019t relate to it.&#8221; It didn\u2019t work; he kept drilling it into me. Now, the point I\u2019m trying to make here, we got D-Day coming up. Do you know, folks, that on D-Day, D-Day alone, the D-Day operation, we lost more Americans, slightly more lives were lost in that operation than we lost on 9\/11, in just one day, one theater of battle in World War II. The Battle of the Bulge was deadly as well. But that, 70 years ago, when you try to talk to people that are teenagers, young adults today about it, it\u2019s like Depression was to me. It\u2019s something that happened way back then, but they can\u2019t imagine something like that happening. People alive today, they worry about nukes and stuff, but a giant world war is something that they can\u2019t relate to. It hasn\u2019t happened in their lifetimes.<\/p>\n<p>And this is why I think education\u2019s so important. I think education is so crucial. Pearl Harbor is hardly even mentioned anymore, December 7th, the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor. It comes and goes. It doesn\u2019t get much notice. Memorial Day, like the caller said, Memorial Day, the reason for it, fewer and fewer people know. It\u2019s just the first real weekend of summer, three-day weekend and so forth, barbecues, what have you. That\u2019s why I think education is important. I\u2019m really glad my dad drilled into me these things that he had lived through and it helped me relate to him better and understand the things he thought were important and why he was raising me the way he was.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/06\/06\/recalling-my-trip-to-normandy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311403\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-Rush-Normandy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-Rush-Normandy.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060619-Rush-Normandy-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/06\/06\/recalling-my-trip-to-normandy\/\">I have been to Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc<\/a>. I\u2019ve been to some of the places where D-Day happened, Normandy, the American cemetery there. I wasn\u2019t alive, but I was close enough to it. And when your parents lived through it and tell stories, or won\u2019t, as it turned out in my dad\u2019s case. He would not answer very many questions about it, it was that horrible. He was in the China-Burma theater, flew P-51s. But kids today &#8212; and it\u2019s no fault of theirs, it\u2019s not up to them to have the importance of it realized. It\u2019s up to us to transfer it to them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eEIqdcHbc8I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So if you have somebody 30 years old listening to this program, this guy just calls, &#8220;You know, if it weren\u2019t for that, you wouldn\u2019t be free to speak. You might not have a radio show, or you might be speaking German.&#8221; They laugh at that. It\u2019s just some old codger calling up with some old fears from the past. The country\u2019s changing, thank God we\u2019re not governed by people like that anymore. But that was his world, and that was the significance of it. And you go back through all of American history, the founding of this country is being treated that way now. The founding of this country is being treated as just an historical blip. In fact, worse. The founding of the country is being besmirched.<\/p>\n<p>Memorial Day is one of these days, it\u2019s been for a long time, people don\u2019t know what it really is all about, and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. It\u2019s just part of natural human evolution. It takes effort, a concerted effort to teach people things that they can\u2019t relate to \u2019cause they weren\u2019t alive when they happened.<\/p>\n<p>KEN: The content of that, like so much of what Rush said over the years, is really brilliant because it focuses right on where we are now, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that on a local level we take back our schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;m really glad my dad drilled into me these things that he had lived through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":399873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
