Congresswoman Victoria Spartz is correct. We can learn from the lessons of World War II. There was weakness, and with that weakness, Imperial Japan attacked China. Then, ultimately, on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. We must be resolved to resist by having peace through strength. I personally can identify. My father served in China and India during World War II with the Flying Tigers to stop the tide of imperialism at that time. Today, we can learn from history. Today is the 79th anniversary of the liberation of Guam. We don't need to repeat the weakness that has occurred. We need to stop our enemies today. These authoritarians have plans to dissolve the United States, and we need to stop it now.
