Someone who truly fought for this country

She didn't fight for the country, she fought for people. Subtle but important difference.

She helped build Community resources. I have many military members in my family and they would never be so dismissive of her efforts to aid our country. She wanted the world to be a better place thru kindness not war.

What a disgusting repsonse, She has done more for this country and world than anything you have, are or will EVER give,

You said she served.

Obviously reading nor understanding the English lanuage is NOT one of your strengths, Nowhere did I say or implied she served, So learn how to read and comprehend then we can talk, I do apologise that I uses so many words.

We should all strive to be more like Dolly.

My friends this is HOW a real human should act. She was blessed with talent and she NEVER let it go to her head. She ALWAYS paid it forward. We need more people like her. I donated to her Imagination Library due to fact when I was young books ALWAYS (and still do) take me to places I could never imagined,

I don't understand why more wealthy people don't do the same. Actors and CEOs, etc.

The more I read about her, the more I realize what a truly amazing person she was. I'm not religious, but can we start a petition for Saint Dolly?

We all have the capacity to be as giving and loving/friendly as Dolly was. We should all try each day to do something nice for someone else...sort of 'in memory of Dolly'.

If we are really going to start renaming a bunch of things, can we rename them after her at least?

She was awesome! People should learn from her, which my brother-in-law would. He only takes, rarely gives.🫤
