I Was There
Jul 3, 2019, 9:02 AM

My cousin was at Lexington and Concord, I was at Kings Mountain, Cowpens and with General Washington at Yorktown, I was at Appomattox, I was at New Orleans with Jackson, I was at Belleau Woods, I was on the Arizona, I was at Midway, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Normandy and Bastonge, I was at Ia Drang, Khe Sanh,and Hue', I was at Kuwait, I am In Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I weep for everyone who has sacrificed for me, I get chills every time I hear Lee Greenwood sing God Bless the USA. Tomorrow, I shall proudly help celebrate America's birthday. You see I am Old Glory the banner that proudly will always fly over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Happy birthday and God Bless America!!

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."

said that "eternal vigilance" was the price of a blue marlin. He was right, too.

Lee Greenwood was just pandering to make a buck.

Hope my sarcasm meter is broken.
I'll refrain from further comment assuming it is.

I proudly fly my flag 24/365. And, this week, a banner hangs over my garage door. I am forever indebted to all those men and women who made, and continue to make, it possible for all of us to enjoy the freedoms and privileges granted to each one of us by their sacrifices.

POTD! Your best post ever

I’m pretty young but I don’t understand this generation. Social media has done great damage to this country.
I’ll always be proud to be an American.
I had one grandfather that fought in the battle of the bulge. I still have the loot he brought home from all of his NAZI POWs.
The other flew bomber planes while getting shot at constantly. He graduated from Clemson on the GI bill.
Truly the greatest generation and I’ll raise my kids to understand the great sacrifices that everyone has seemed to forget these days.
Great post ????
