Wow. Not a single athlete willing to speak out against ICE abuses in their own country. I've been a loyal fan for most of my life but this is the last time I watch the Puppy Bowl.
This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”
it’s really sweet how hesitant Evan is to advocate for himself, but it’s also really nice to see these moments where the guys push him to talk his talk
@ScottinBayV I’m struggling not being in a swing state anymore. No door knocking, not much volunteering asked of us. Just feel like I haven’t done enough.
