Big change in people, from then to now. Very sad.
Thank you, to all veterans and active service men/women.


When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

A heart felt thanks to those courageous young men and SALUTE to all US and Allied VETERANS past present! Gulf war/ desert storm vet myself so I can relate to the tension of thousands of soldiers on edge knowing we're going in and not fully knowing what's in store... I mean they were way out gunned but the freaky thing for me was the chemical weapons, I'm just so glad there was minimal exposure and the fog never drifted over us...

Doubt they were fighting for gay marriage and black lives matter protest. They fought, died, cried, came back and built the strongest nation the world has ever seen. Shame what we have done with what they gave us. God bless them all.

Amen! Thank you Gpa, (14th Tank Battalion 9th Armored division), and all of them. May the Creator stay on our side, us in his favor, no matter what these horrible people are doing to our Nation. May Freedom ring.....


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

The way young people are acting these days, I say bring back the draft. I believe they would be thankful for this great country we live in rather than trying to tear it to pieces. Make them move to another country if they are not happy here. I served in Desert Storm so have some skin in the game

HEROES UNAWARE

I first saw him on a park bench
I've seen him every day
Sitting in a shady grove
Where my children come to play
Sometimes he feeds the birds and squirrels
Or whittles little toys
Sometimes he just sits and smiles
At the laughing girls and boys
And I never paid him any mind
Till one day just this year
I noticed that he wore a frown
And on his cheek; a tear.
Well I asked him why he seemed so down
He looked up, began to say
I lost half my friends 50 years ago today
He told me of the terror
As he fought to reach dry land
By the time the beachhead was secure
Half his friends lay in the sand
That was just in one long day
He fought on for 4 years more
And the 50 years from then to now
Have not dimmed His sights of war
He said they have reunions
Just to keep in touch and share
And for each comrade who has gone on
They leave an empty chair
Well, His park bench has been empty now
About 6 months or so
And if I'd never took the time
Then I never would've known
That sitting on that simple bench
With bread crumbs and little toys
Was a man who gave his all
To guarantee my daily joys
So give thanks to all the men and women
Who are still here or have gone before
And made the highest sacrifice
In both Peace time and in War
Because they bought our freedom
Paid their own blood, sweat, and tears
Then endured the heartache of those empty chairs
For all these years
So please do not ignore them
Or speed by without a care
Cause you never know
When you might pass by
A hero, unaware


Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

Our nation has faced adversity from its very inception, as our founders penned a monumental covenant before God.
The horrors of fascism and Imperialism were dismantled by capitalists and the Red Army during WWII and it's impossible to imagine what it must have been like to land on those beaches and charge an entrenched enemy.

I'm forever grateful our bravest fought to attain victory.
Over 80 million people or 3% of the world's population was killed in that war, the bloodiest in history.
Today, we war over far fewer for vastly different reasons.

But God is Sovereign and good does prevail.

My uncles landed on the 7th, one uncle ran up the beach jumped in a foxhole and asked the guys already in it where the front lines were, guy said you're on it. Brave men, of german heritage essentially fighting what would have been their countrymen had their father not emigrated here. Brave boys really, not much out of high school.
