I am a tall, burly, bearded guy that most people look at and say "redneck". Not to toot my own horn, but I think I give off a tough persona and feel pretty darn tough.
I have been hit in the face with a brick and called the guy a censored word. I bent my steering wheel to the shape of my jaw and have a rather large chunk of my leg missing from my leg from an accident. This summer I had four wisdom teeth and two molars yanked out and refused pain medication.
This Saturday I went to a truck show in columbia county. They played the national anthem anf Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA and I cried like a baby, while a lot of people sat down, kept their hats on, or refused to put their hand over their heart.
What the heck happened to patriotism and being a God fearing and loving country?
You are not alone, there are still some of us that feel what you have expressed. But we that are patriotic, are rapidly becoming a minority. Maybe we will wake up before it's too late and return to the values and principles that built this great country. Thanks for sharing your patriotic heart with us! Treefarmer
Send those who refuse to stand up or remove a hat to Arlington National Cemetery, I was there recently visiting friends who will watch the sunrise for eternity from their final resting place.
Arlington is hallowed ground for sure and a must see for everyone at some time in their life and teaching of should be mandatory in ALL schools. those who did not stand were probably busy texting.
