My thoughts about Liz (and Dick) Cheney.
Right before the February 2016 SC primary, Trump had openly criticized GWB's decision to go to war in Iraq (leaving aside the subsequent discovery of 2002 Trump quotes supporting the war).
I remember many in the media getting the vapors about a candidate openly disagreeing with a former GOP president on such an important issue. Many thought this would certainly be the end of Trump since Bush was so revered within the party.
There's a very interesting story about discovering my grandfather's name in the Courts of the Missing at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl Cemetery) in Honolulu, HI.

My wife and I were vacationing in Honolulu, because the church where I worked sent us there as a Thank You in the midst of a very turbulent time. We made almost nothing, so this was a once in a lifetime experience.
