My Dad turned 18 yrs old Dec 6, 1943. He served his time dodging bullets in the Philippines. My Great great Grandmother fresh from Germany lost two brothers in the civil war.
I proudly display My Dad's Flag and metals. I stand in honor of him and all those who gave their all.
With all my heart...Thank You America.

Bill, think you already know how much I respect you, your devotion to country and the freedom of speech that many of us fought for. I've been conflicted about this for some time and I personally accept that complete racial equality (as taught by the three men I admire the most, i.e. America Pie) is decades past being achieved. But having served in SEA as a medic I zipped up far too many body bags to agree with this means of protest. Even failing to remove your hat falls into the same category with me so I'm pretty rigid on this. I don't feel that taking a knee has done any more than harden the hearts that need adjusting. Also recognize that all of our hearts are in need of adjustment, its part of the sanctification process after all.

That's such a sad deal. Watching what happened on TV shows the devastation and loss of control in the city.

Rioting is NOT protesting. All it does is destroy property.

There is no one answer for the shape this country is in except to get down on our knees and PRAY, daily.

A BIG thank you to all the men and women who have served and, especially those that paid the ultimate price. I walk by my Dad's picture, framed discharge papers and dog tags each day and say Thank You.

I don't have the skills to add a video here. So if someone could do it for me, thank you.. The video is of Reba McEntire's song "Back to God"
