Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.

On April 29, 2004, as a service and tribute to members of the World War II Generation, the National World War II Memorial opened for public viewing, exactly one month prior to the formal Dedication Ceremony taking place May 29, 2004. The World War II Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during the Second World War. The memorial, established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. The Second World War is the only 20th-century event commemorated on the Mall's central axis.

Don't forget that you can watch the dedication today!! God Bless all of our Veterans & Active Duty!!!

Well....no. I guess not! And I'm truly sorry 'bout that.

Now, the next time I catch a Kerry, I guess I could....oh never mind on THAT one, too. That's far too gross.

I am LOGGING OFF. This takes too long. And I'm running on empty....So y'all. Have a wonderful and safe and GREAT weekend.
