Boy, do I remember. I remember searching for the shell cases from the blanks in the grass after the ceremony. What a prize to get one before someone else did!
I can’t even finish the Star Spangled Banner without tearing up. God Bless America is even harder.
My mother was an immigrant to America. We flew the American flag every day from our porch. During the Vietnam War, we were the only flag flying on our street.
I continue the tradition today. Many in my senior development, even non-veterans like myself, fly the flag every day.
You are correct—the American kid growing up in America is the part of his DNA that is missing.
I've used that incessantly in the past to illustrate my opinion of the mulatto faggot bastard
The old WW2 GI movies always used some Americana as a shiboleth ... a German (f'rinstance) trying to pass himself off as an America would be asked ... "Yeahhhh ... them Yankees sure did kill the Red Sox, eh ?" (or something like that) ...
To which the German trying to be non chalant and clever would say something stupid like ... "Yeeaahhh ... great game" ... when there WAS no game
bang!
THAT'S why zero is such an asshole ... he personally has no thread and his cadre (mostly native born) are as clueless as he is because they were never Americans in spirit anyway and of course the muslim brotherhood are equally enemies of the state ...
ALL things considered, there is NO America in the white house
PS ... I forgot about the shell casings
