The entire thread was an awesome tribute to American Patriots and to Free Republic!

America needs a major dose of Patriotism and Pride, and I think the 2MBikerstoDC provided that. From everything I have seen on facebook and follow-ups, the LameStreamMedia SOOO missed the pillion!

It has gone viral, now. There is no stopping the rise of honor and sense of freedom!

(Sorry I’m so “weepy” about this...I needed the boost!)

The last time I was in DC, which was earlier this summer, I stopped at the Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial Wall, to look once more at my name engraved there.

My name, exactly as I have it on my driver's license, but belonging to someone else as well. It's a curious, eerie feeling to see that.

I've mentioned this before, in one way or another:

Our Side of the Wall

The souls of heroes are laid down,
Like bricks in ordered rows,
To make a wall, an edifice,
A structure that still grows.

Upon this side, stern silence reigns,
The code of fallen men,
It takes a focused feeling to,
Receive our thoughts again.

The thing that every soldier here,
Would say is short and sweet,
Go live your life but learn as well,
Don’t make this scene repeat.

If there were one thing I would say,
I’d say it with a shout!
This wall’s not here to keep us in.
It’s there to keep you out.

THIS IS A FRIGHTENING STATISTIC, PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WORRYSOME IN RECENT YEARS.

25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness.

That’s scary.

It means 75% are running around untreated.
