Yesterday Was Purple Heart Recognition Day and I'm Pissed!

I hope anyone reading this will forgive my rant - I usually don't do this, but there is something wrong in this Country, when it is all over the news that our President was on the Jay Leno show and there is hardly a mention of the brave men and women who were seriously wounded defending our freedoms. How many of us even knew that yesterday, August 7th was Purple Heart Recognition Day?

I checked Huffington Post this morning - and if you search for it, you'll find it, but what about the first page?
Doesn't it matter that the Purple Heart is a symbol of our appreciation to soldiers and their families, who sacrificed?  Isn't that more important than three people winning the PowerBall? That made headlines on Yahoo!

It's time the Press got their priorities straight. Even the Conservative Fox News got it wrong. The big new yesterday was that 'terror threats mount as President Obama laughs it up with Jay Leno'. I'm not a fan of Obama, and I'm sure it's important news, and I don't want to make this political, but c'mon guys - where's your story on honoring those who gave you the right to broadcast in the first place?

I'm pissed! We all sit in our comfy little homes pretending that the freedoms we take for granted just fell on us - that they just are. Men and women died or lost limbs for those rights! We all know about Kim Kardashian having a baby, but who knows the name Travis Mills? There is a picture of him below:

Travis Mills

There have been about two million Purple Hearts given to our fallen and injured since George Washington gave the first one to Sergeant William Brown of the 5th Connecticut Regiment of the Connecticut Line.
Two million sacrifices, and yet most Americans don't even know what the Purple Heart looks like. We know what our flag looks like. We should know what the award given to those who defended our flag and paid dearly  looks like!



Well folks, I'm an American, and I'm proud, and I'm pissed! I'm pissed that the freedoms that the press have - the freedoms that they have because of people like Travis Mills, are being abused!

The left is bashing the right, the right is bashing the left, and the people in the middle - most of America, are left listening to a bunch of bullshit fed to us by our 'un-biased' press!
...Only my opinion, but WE THE PEOPLE are sick of it!

Fourth of July Fun

The Fourth of July (aka American Independence Day) is quickly approaching. Fireworks, picnics, barbecues and other forms of warm weather fun are definitely in the agenda. The first thing you'll need is a flag. You can't celebrate America without old glory. Get some mini flags to amuse the kids. Maybe do your car up with an antenna flag. There are even nifty military inspired patches you can stitch onto your clothes.

Once you've got your flags it's time for friends, food and partying. Break out your best potato salad recipe, grab your cooler, some cola and maybe a wiffle ball set and head for a park or the beach. Spend the day with friends and family, good food and lots of play. Then at night, sit back, relax and enjoy the traditional pyrotechnics.

Like any major holiday, the Fourth of July is a great way and a great reminder to celebrate family, friendship and fun. How considerate it was of our founding fathers to make it so that such a wonderful occasion is right in the heart of summer. It would've sucked if they had made this awesome day happen in the middle of winter. Yet another reason to be thankful you're an American.

Bin Laden Is Dead

Everyone in America celebrated the news of Osama Bin Laden's capture and execution. The nation has been united once again.

Is this the end of the war on terrorism? Doubtful. Don't be naive. One falls, another takes their place. But our country certainly proved its mettle and strength to his potential successors.

There will always be haters, but united we stand. And this victory has united us for sure.

Still, the announcement couldn't wait til I'd seen the conclusion of CSI: Miami? It had to interrupt a mere 10 minutes before the show was about to conclude? Bin Laden was still going to be dead after Horatio divulged the details of that night's murder in his halting, exaggerated, oh so, Captain Kirk kind of way.

Where are our priorities people?!
