Good for him. It's time to stand up against Trump bullies and racism.
Frank Watkins, a 96-year-old World War II veteran and lifelong Leesburg resident, waved enthusiastically to the packed council chamber giving a standing ovation. Born and raised on what is now South Street -- and raised in part by an aunt who cooked for George C. Marshall -- he later served his country in a segregated engineering company. The company's white commander lobbied for his troops to fight in the Pacific theater, and just as they shipped out, the war ended.
"Through it all, here I am," Watkins said.

You left out the part about some dumb libtards leaving fake KKK flyers around town.

Sharp action by the town council... denouncing.
What's next? A sharply worded rebuke? Boy I don't wanna be in town when that comes down.
Solid coming together for the virtue signal meeting.
