*Gru whistling intensifies*

Bro this meme broke my jaw💀

That good?

I found it when I was like 11 so yeah

Nice

Yeah, Gru's been around for a long time. A lot longer than we think

I didn't know that gru joined the axis powers!

I didn't either until today

I will give you a follow

Thank you, ditto to you

Yes

first of all those are allied planes second of all that is the missing man formation witch is used to symbolise the passing of a downed friend and soldier

Ah, I see that you are very learned on the flight tactics used by the Allied Triade. Yes, it was the Allies who used that model of plane, and the missing member of formation does signify the memorial of a downed flyer.

the reason I added the bit about it being a allied plane is because of all the peoplesaying its nazi and I added the bit about the missing man formation is because it is an extreamlysad situation for most people flying in it and its annoying when people do stuff like this

Yes, I suppose that every time someone sees a plane in a black and white picture, they think it's a Nazi plane from WW2. We lost a lot of good men during that war, including my great grandfather on my mother's side. It's nice to know that someone recognizes kinds of things like memorial formations.

I am sorry to hear that you lost a family member whether you knew them or not

Thank you for your condolences. It means a lot to me. I didn't know him, but he did save the rest of his squad from a mortar shell during America's attack on Guadalcanal.

that's amazing what he did

Yeah, He was on the USS Juneau I believe. He was the first one no the upper deck, and he locked the door he came from before any others in his squad could come out. The shell hit the deck, killing a dozen people or so, but my great grandfather's squad was unharmed from the blast. At least, that's what my mother and grandmother has told me.

wow

Yeah, I believe his name is on a memorial stone in Manistee, Michigan

That's so sad yet so heroic.
