Nice day, nice parade, alot of patriotic floats and then along comes a few WWII vets that some auto dealer or some bank has honoring them by having them in the float and here they are in the back of a Mitsubishi or Toyota or Honda.
The Jap Zeros that killed their buddies were made by the predecessors of some of these companies.
That just seems wrong to parade a WWII vet in a Japanese car!
I know that many of these have assembly plants here in America, but where to corporate profits go?
OK that might be taking it a little too far. After 60 years I dont think we need to lump the car companies with the same people who attacked Pearl Harbor. Their children should not be scared by their fathers' mistakes.
My grandfather fought in WWII and drives a Honda. I dont think we need to string him up for treason.
