To all Friends of Willis Carto
May 24, 2025
Memorial Day always was a special occasion for Willis. Having survived WW2, fighting as a 19-year-old, drafted and shipped to Cebu in the Philippines marked his life forever. He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries and returned home to his family in Ohio when the war with Japan ended. He admired the military, and really quite loved them all of his life. This included men of many nations which confirmed his belief that they all were brothers who had to fight for their countries. Willis is buried at Arlington National Cemetery; 400,000 souls are there with him in peace.
In 1955 he started Liberty Lobby, opening an office in Washington, D.C. When he died in 2015, The New York Times in its obituary credited him, which was a miracle for them, with the fact that he had accomplished what no other in the conservative movement had ever done, publishing a weekly newspaper, The Spotlight, with a subscriber list exceeding 300,000. We also broadcasted on 470 radio stations in 1981, and actually owned the Sun Radio Network in the 1980s. In spite of his detractors , Willis Carto always succeeded with his set goals against all odds until he died.
Please take a minute to see what he accomplished with the newspaper, The Spotlight, as well as Western Destiny, TBR , the American Mercury and IHR, the various magazines were his unique publications.
Our websites cover politics for almost ten years now. The articles displayed are fountains of knowledge even today. He did like Donald Trump, he was still alive when Mr. Trump made his statement to run for office. Willis told me that he was very happy about it. Conservative Candidates in general were disappointing but Willis and his publications did support Senator Goldwater in 1964.
in honor of all who gave their lives in Wars.
I wish you a tranquil holiday weekend.
Best wishes,
Elisabeth Carto
