MylesRydenToday in two different history classes, I am reminded in two great moments in #Antifa #history, both involving the #101stAirborne .
The first was in Bastogne, Belgium in 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, surviving a siege and refusing to surrender.
And then again in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1955 when they were called on to protect kids who just wanted to go to school.
Members of the division can be equally proud of both moments.
