BREAKING: RIP. Veteran’s hospital staff honors Alex Pretti as he leaves for one last time.In a heartbreaking show of respect and grief, the staff that Alex Pretti worked with every day honored him as his body was wheeled out, saluting him for his years of service to America’s veterans and for his martyrdom at the hands of Trump’s paramilitary goon squad. Pretti is remembered for his big heart and his genuine love for helping others. “He was a really great colleague and a really great friend,” said his colleague, Dr. Dimitri Drekonja. “The default look on his face was a smile.”Another colleague, Ruth Anway, told the New York Times that “He really thrived in that environment. He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world.”It is so tragic and gut-wrenching to lose someone so good at the hands of someone so evil, and Alex Pretti will be forever remembered as one of America’s finest.🎥: @katmwalkView all 2,251 comments
