i despise Google so imagine my surprise when they actually have an American FLAG on their home page today... 
Prayers up for all the current and past Vets and those who do and have served
I served in the US Navy from 1983-1989, but after this last election where the Communist Party USA newspaper declared “We Won” I have come to realize my service was in vain. While I did a small part to protect America from the dangers of communism and socialism, America has chosen to voluntarily go down that path of slavery.
I will not fly an American flag again as long as America now chooses socialism, communism, or any other kind of slavery over the freedoms and rights talked about in the Constitution. Don’t get me wrong, I will always personally show respect to the veterans that I know (my own son is now a veteran of Afghanistan) but all of these free meals and parades are crumbs tossed to the heros while the real prize is given to the Federal government to enslave us.
.. a gentleman’s bet
I’ll bet Obama will not be wearing a poppy.
(But then again, taqiyya might override his religious instinct.)

There is a reason why we honor veterans, not retired politicians, for preserving our freedom!
My father-in-law was a captain in Patton’s Army: Silver Star, Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts
Here’s the Silver Star Citation:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain (Infantry) Marion C. Chitwood (ASN: 0-1285548), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with the 318th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division, in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States on 10 April 1945 in Germany. On that date, during an attack near Neudietndorf, Germany, one company of the battalion was temporarily delayed by heavy enemy machine gun fire. Captain Chitwood, Battalion S-3, was dispatched to assist in reorganizing and expediting the attack. While he and the company commander were leading a renewed attack and were engaged in a fierce house to house fight both officers were wounded. Captain Chitwood, utterly disregarding his own wounds, aided the wounded company commander and only after all other casualties were given aid would he permit his own evacuation. Captain Chitwood’s courage, unselfishness, and loyal devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
General Orders: Headquarters, 80th Infantry Division, General Orders No. 132 ( May 21, 1945)
Action Date: April 10, 1945
Service: Army
Rank: Captain, “ Regiment: 318th Infantry Regiment
Division: 80th Infantry Division”
This citation does not scratch the surface of his experiences in WWII. He died four years ago at the age of 89 surrounded by family.
The day before he died, he told a friend, “I’m ready to get on the bus.”
His friend asked, “How do you feel about that?”
Chitwood repsonded, “I’m fine with it-— as long as they don’t make me do it again.”
Thank You to all who have taken the oath “...to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic... .”
And a special thanks to my favorite Army doctor and my favorite Marine helo pilot.
O beautiful for heroes prov’d
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country lov’d,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine.
