FTFY.
You're right, my grandfather didn't sit in a foxhole surrounded by encroaching Germans, gripping a faded picture of mijn Oma. He was born in 1903, and was ineligible for military service by the time Hitler started his bullshit, and so was busy working his farm in the lowlands when the Nazis rolled through and occupied his nation. What he did do, was protect his largely underaged daughters from Nazi rapists, throw the invaders a hog every now and then to keep them from getting too froggy, and hide Canadian soldiers in his root cellar.
He passed in '97, father of fourteen, grandfather of over fifty, great grandfather of I literally don't even know how many. A literal giant who fought the war in his own way, who never, ever frowned or lost his temper that I ever saw, who never had a sour word to give anyone, and who have told you, in the thickest, most incomprehensible Dutch accent you would have ever heard, just how full of paardenpoep you are.
Ain't nobody taking your freedom away by asking you to give a fuck about other people, you entitled little shit.
600,000+ US troops alone were able to return home from the War in Europe alive - and not in coffins due to said war against the Nazis going beyond 1945 - via an eccentric Englishman who kept his tea mug chained to the radiator at the place where he worked (Bletchley Park) to prevent it from being stolen.

My maternal grandfather was in the British Navy. And he sure as hell didn’t fight Nazis just for them to show up in my backyard claiming to be the real patriots and that disrespecting elected government, the will of the majority, all laws, the rights of private businesses, and the ability to protect oneself at the personal level short of summarily killing anyone that doesn’t back off is somehow “protecting” the freedom of the 90% of my countrymen who quite well understand how dangerous diseases are.
The vast majority are being intimidated by a fringe minority in their places of business, scared away from occupied public streets, threatened and insulted for daring to mention that this is a nation of laws and that there is an enormous difference between a legitimate protest drawing attention to a cause and a feral mob of hypocrites taking deliberate action to harm others physically and financially under any pretext a lawless minority bolstered by border jumpers can seize upon to undermine public confidence and safety.
Your ilk uses the law as a weapon to enforce the image of shallow social norms then readily disregards it for the same. You pay lip service to individual rights but target those individuals who are not part of your norms demanding they remake themselves in your image or begone from your sight and memory. Lives mean little to you, rights even less, and your idea of “freedom” is to stomp all over others you insist have no right to stand in your way even if it’s their home you’re in.
All in the most superficial name of an ideal stripped of objective description. All things are permissible before your banner, made righteous screaming it’s name as you defile it’s meaning. “Freedom” does not mean to cave into the fear and thuggery of those who resent the will of the majority and have no respect for the democratically elected, “Freedom” does not mean others must cater to your preferences or else flee from your presence if they’re not willing to outright murder you, “Freedom” does not mean you pick and choose when you’re going to respect the rights of others. You do not have a “right” to endanger others because you feel inconvenienced when they set rules in their own house. You do not have a “right” to subvert the rights of others to safety and security. You do not have a “right” to determine that you are simply above and beyond all others and that any law made is merely their “opinion” you are free to disregard while any attempt to eject you from private spaces in the name of the safety of the owners, their customers, and the taxpaying voting citizenry as a whole is an offense to be retaliated against because it offends your “right” to total "freedom” at the expense of others.
Granted, I don’t have any war vets in my family, but let me ask you something, OP; have you EVER visited historical battlesites such as Ypres to pay your respects to fallen WW1 soldiers; agonizingly killed by Mustard Gas in the trenches? Have you EVER visited abandoned WW2 concentration camps and allied bunkers to educate yourself on the unimaginable horrors the Nazis inflicted? Because I have. And let me tell you something, it’s because of that that I so badly do NOT want those horrors to repeat by having more American Nazifascists like Trump actually take people’s freedom’s away!
