I think her father would be very proud of her for standing up for her country and the freedoms that the Left are trying to destroy.

Don't you find it tough to argue with people who use bumper stickers as their reference.

(Campaign promises aside; as Pelosi said, every politician makes promises they don't intend to keep.)

My mother was a Rosie The Riveter and my dad worked in the same aircraft plant she did....both of them thought of themselves as "war workers", doing their part for the "war effort". As children, my sisters and I collected newspapers, tin cans and any scrap iron we could find. We hauled these to school in a wagon and turned them--all because it was for "fighting the war". We made posters in school encouraging people to "buy war bonds" that were placed in local businesses. Everyone was mobilized to "fight the Nazis" and/or "the Japs". We drew pictures of American airplanes shooting down aircraft that had swastikas or the rising sun on them. Everyone I knew thought of themselves as "helping to fight the Nazis and Japs". To minimize the contribution of Jan Brewer's father for working in a munitions plant is a disservice to him and to all of the other people on the "home front" (yes, that's what we called it) who were doing what they could to serve their country in a time of war.

My understanding is that no one has minimized contributions of her father. If I’ve heard all this correctly; it was she who brought her father into the public view and she embellished the story in the original content that she provided.

Personally I have no idea why her father is part of any news story to begin with, I’m only interested in what she is doing in public office for the people of the state. After that her life is her business.

Don't forget that the "Great Communicator" himself, Ronald Reagan, "fought" in World War II at that hotbed of military action, the back lot of Hollywood movie studios. His wartime activity made Governor Brewer's statement pale by comparison.
