It’s difficult to imagine a more painful Father’s Day than the one endured by David and Marilyn Kreinz of Beloit. On a day when most dads enjoy the loving embrace of their children, David Kreinz learned that his oldest son had died the day before, some 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan.
Tyler Kreinz, a U.S. Army Specialist and tanker, died June 18 in a roll-over accident while serving with the Army’s 4th Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment of the 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The circumstances of the accident were not known at press time.

Imperial Japan, meanwhile, had destroyed the heart of the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and conquered the Philippines, along with numerous other islands throughout the Pacific. But at Midway Island, an otherwise unremarkable atoll 1,200 miles west of Hawaii, U.S. forces beat back the Japanese advance and turned the tide of the awful war in the Pacific.

As the clamor to relax security at the Wisconsin Capitol continues — a mediator will help the Walker administration and public-employee unions resolve the dispute over access — we are reminded by yet another “educator” that safety, indeed, remains a concern for Republican legislators who dare take on government labor.
The threat of another illegal union occupation of the People’s House arguably has declined over time, but an atmosphere of intimidation remains, as caterwauling liberals continue to shower Republicans with shrieks of, “Shame, shame shame!” every time a disputed bill is passed, and as reports persist that aggrieved union members happily fantasize about the deaths of their political opponents.
