In Honor Of Those Who Served

(and those whom abuse and refuse to recognize the privileges of freedom…and the responsibilities that go with it…)

July 4th, 1776…How things have changed here in North America since that time.

I don’t agree with everything that goes on in this country any more than I agree with everything our government does in my name or on my behalf, but I darned sure appreciate the sacrifice made by the 200,000 future Americans that fought in the Revolutionary War, the 4,435 that died and the 6,188 that were wounded in the fighting.

Then there are the other millions that have been drafted and volunteered for military service since that time, many of which were killed or wounded.

I don’t wear a uniform any more, but I’m still fighting for the cause that they fought for, and for other people’s right to be STUPID or IGNORANT or be COMMUNISTS or SOCIALISTS.

Just go do it some place else—far, far away from me…

And take Ted Kennedy and the UN with you if you will.
