When thousands of young men were drafted to risk their lives on the beaches of Normandy, Americans at home supported them

When thousands of our medical heroes were drafted to risk their lives in COVID ICUs, Americans at home added more burdens to their already-overwhelming load
2/Whatever happened to civic responsibility - that collective understanding that this isn't their crisis, but OUR crisis as Americans & we all need to sacrifice and do our part from home to help those on the front lines?

Wearing masks & social-distancing is SO little to ask.
3/No one is coercing you to ration your food, clothing or gasoline to help the war-on-COVID effort.

These days, demanding rationing would be deemed 'tyranny' - people would be saying 'how DARE the government tell me how much I can travel, or what I can eat or buy to wear?'
4/Unlike in those days, the government isn't enforcing rationing, controlling your income, ending the production of household appliances, and forcing you to do without.

Collective crises call for collective responsibility, America. Nations that work together stay together.
5/If you love America, it isn't too much to ask of you to make sacrifices for a collective American effort.
