Happy 4th
For those of you young folks who have no idea what this means:
On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.

Veterans' Day 2013
It is the VETERAN,
not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN,
not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN,
not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN,
not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN,
not the politician,
who has given us the right to vote.

Happy Birthday, America!
Despite the efforts of globalists, political apologists, and some politicians, the United States of America remains the Land of the Free.

Veterans' Day 2011
A ‘Veteran‘ is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his life.”
