American Military Cemetaries Around The World

Colonel Joshua Chamberlin of the 20th Maine Regiment spoke to a group of 120 mutineers sent to him just before the Battle of Gettysburg, June 30, 1863, trying to show them why they should join his regiment for the fight. His words from nearly 150 years ago reflect American military values to this day.

“…This is a different kind of army. If you look at history, you’ll see men fight for pay, or women, or some other kind of loot. They fight for land, or because a king makes them, or just because they like killing. But we’re here for something new. This has not happened much, in the history of the world: We are an army out to set other men free…”

Colin Powell, speaking as Secretary of State, reiterated this principle in 2002 when asked on TV how he felt representing a country commonly perceived as “the Satan of contemporary politics.”

“…Far from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people.

“And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, “Okay, we defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan, so Japan belongs to us”? No. What did we do? We built them up. We gave them democratic systems, which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are.”

Regardless of your politics, I hope you’ll agree that our military has represented and defended us with honor. Take a few minutes to see the land to which Secretary Powell referred. I can’t think of a better way to reflect on those who did not come home and place their sacrifice in perspective this Memorial Day.

Here’s to the Heroes Who Never Came Home. Watch.

How The States Can Save America — The Convention Of States (Not A Constitutional Convention)

BOYCOTT OF THE NFL ON VETERANS DAY WEEKEND

They can protest….but so can we.

Some people are now calling for a complete National Boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 12th, which is Veterans Day Weekend.

They are calling for a Boycott of all NFL games including all football telecasts and all live games by all ticket holders. Let the millionaires play to empty stadiums.

Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin. There are plenty of ways, times and places to protest concerning one’s chosen cause; but to do so during a brief special time set aside to honor our nation’s flag and the bravery and lives given by of our nation’s military heroes, is inappropriate and disrespectful.

 Of course Black lives matter, but so do the precious lives of millions of US soldiers (of all races) who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend and protect our nation’s rights and freedoms.

It’s not about President Trump, its about all those who bravely and unselfishly serve and who have served our nation. The Star Spangled Banner is presented to honor all of them.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW A DEMOCRAT U.S. SENATOR IS ON TRIAL FOR BRIBERY IN FEDERAL COURT

“The current of our faith runs deeper than the current of the flood waters.”

— Audrey Johnston, wife of Baptist Professor Jeremiah Johnston, during an interview by FOX Business Channel’s Stuart Varney on 8-31-17. The Johnston family, which includes new triplets, was taken to safety from the Texas flooding.

“These are all Red, White, & Blue People.”

Ben Shapiro’s 10 Rules For Debating Leftists

“State efforts, such as Oklahoma’s, create a glimmer of hope that one day Americans and their elected representatives will realize that the federal government is the creation of the states. A bit of rebellion by officials in other states will speed that process along.” — Dr. Walter E. Williams, professor of Economics at George Mason University

“Let’s agree that neither side trusts “the other side.” Let’s agree that neither side thinks much of the goals and motives of their political opponents. Let’s agree that the bigger the government, the more money and power it takes from its citizens. So where does this leave us? It takes us back to a founding principle of this country: limited government. By reducing the size of government, we limit the amount of damage “the other side” can do when in charge. ” — Larry Elder, Los Angeles Talk Show Host

Bill Whittle — Taking The Country Back From Leftists

“While the Left is clamoring for more gun control and screaming at the NRA, it is ignoring that radical Islam is responsible for the attack and only wants to destroy what the Left believes in. The arithmetic isn’t complicated. The more Islam, the fewer gays.

I listen to people say ‘oh, we’re now going to have to have metal detectors in night clubs, security in nightclubs.’ OK, so what happens next? They blow up a bakery, they blow up a little pastry shop, so then you’re gonna have to have metal detectors to get into the pastry shop?

Instead of having all these individual perimeters around every Dunkin Donuts franchise or every gas station, or every J.C. Penny, why not have just one big perimeter around the country? We could call it a border! And we could have, like, a border security!”

—– Mark Steyn in ‘The Party At The End Of The World’
