h/t to my friend Bill for emailing this to me. Betsy was an incredible woman for her time.

I did not know all of this and SHE IS incredible!!

I would not have married her before going off to war though!

I bought two of the Betsy Ross shirts from the Limbaugh store. One for my wife and one for me. We’ll wear them Thursday at the American Legion picnic. To date Limbaugh has collected 2 million dollars for the Tunnels to Towers charity and it’s going up as shirts keep selling. She was a true American hero.

FReepers wanting to know more about Mrs. Ross can check Wikipedia. There is a very detailed outline of her life, etc.

I don’t disagree with the post. She sounds like a remarkable woman.

But Nike’s reaction was not to the woman, but to the times.

I agree that it’s ridiculous to protest against history. But you are barking up the wrong tree.
