Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
I remember it well, even though I was 5 years old. We were taught not to forget what transpired and how it happened. thanks for reliving history.....stay well....
i don't remember it as it happened 4 days before my father's birth, but i feel as if i do. my grandfather used to tell us of it over and over and over. he ingrained the hate and the pride and the patriotism until it was a part of us. we all need to remember it more. i am saddened that it seems to get less attention every year.
Benning, great post BTW, I know a couple of our local stations always lead with the weather now. I had two Uncles in the war, but they both passed when I was still young and they rarely spoke of it. One fought from the beach to Berlin earning Silver and Bronze Stars and three Purple Hearts. None fought in the Pacific but were preparing to go when we dropped the bombs.
Moonbat trolls will be deleted unless I want to mock you, cogent argument is always welcome. I will not post "anonymous" comments without at least a name attached to them even if I might agree with them.I repeat I will not post anonymous comments.

ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that remembrance of this on the local news came after the weather report. Guess it just isn't important anymore, huh?
