Yeah, some say Ozzy went a bit more loony and more slurred speech after they bounced his head off the sidewalk a few times for his little stunt.

At first read, I thought the guy from Illinois was going to be Hussein or Ayers. Both have defaced America.

I encountered some loud laughing young Japanese folks the first time I visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, which is also of course the final resting place for 1,100 Americans.

A hallowed grave didn't seem like the right place for me to confront some giggling idiots speaking a foreign language.

250 is CCL.

I don’t know why people do this. Its just disgusting. Last summer, we took a trip to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. There were several preserved log cabins and churches there. They were just like the owners left them. There was a short history of each one outside the cabins. In one, they had raised 8 kids in 2 rooms. You could still smell the smoke from the fireplace. It was such an experience to just stand in these cabins where people had lived long ago. Such an awesome feeling. But the walls of these historic homes were covered in graffiti! Hidden among all the graffiti were signs that said it is a federal offense to write on the walls. What a joke! It just made me sick that people from mostly big liberal cities had came here and defaced such a rich history of these gentle good people. I wonder how they would feel if we went there and defaced their historic buildings! I bet they wouldn’t tolerate it.

Number 1 in my book is the Punchbowl Military Cemetery overlooking Honolulu. I was there for a couple of hours and never heard anyone speak above a low whisper. Another is the cemetery at Gettysburg. I hope I get the chance to visit the 4 you mentioned some day.

Amen on Culloden...the humps everywere I remember. Cumberland wouldn’t let them be buried proper, either heaps or just left where they fell.

Not to mention the slaughter and rape that followed for days after that.

The veranda at Carnton House here in Franklin is a soft spot for we Southerners. My kids are quite familiar with it.

I think the cemetaries at Normandy are pretty sentimental too and caused me a tear up.

and oddly enough, I have been to the battlefield at Boyaca and even though the end results have been left wanting, what Bolivar accomplished against Spain from Caracas to Peru in some serious terrain is remarkable...truly.

never been to Rourke’s Drift...

God bless Texas btw

Thanks, but; a bit redundant.

Two of my relatives died at the Alamo. If I had caught this jerk defacing it, he would be missing a few body parts.

****heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne urinated on the Alamo grounds, authorities said. ****

Any TEXAN worth his salt would have permanently made Ozzy and this graffiti vandal have to squat to pee.

Last guy that was caught urinating on the Alamo got his own TV show! Think he bit the head off a bat too!

The Presido at Goliad gives me a creepy feeling, even the chapel, but I like the Mission Espíritu Santo. We were there at a weekend event a few months ago; saw some period black powder weapons and a knapper and his son from Victoria making arrowheads.

May God forgive Texas as this is where Roe V Wade was spawned!

So a professor assigns students a criminal act?

An understandable mistake. Most liberals think graffiti is art (unless it shows up on their building).

It has a truly sad history. I can somewhat relate.

What I found creepy was the Mexican food restaurant at the entrance.
