Thanks for posting. I cannot imagine a 74 year old continuing to do that work of younger men. Even more inspiring is a union guy unfurled a Romney banner in the heart of Obama Town -- he's clearly a smart man.
Great video of him and a coworker atop the tower here.

The irony of a union ironworker hanging a Romney banner on the Willis(Sears) Tower in Chicago, Obama’s Town, is not lost on the union workers in the MidWest.
The irony of the use of the word “irony” in a sentence about an ironworker would be ,though.
God bless and keep safe John Rukavina!

-— An ad from 1970 shows John Rukavina, a Chicago iron worker, atop the Sears Tower in his 877.” ——
Wow! Great find.
A great final, defiant act. Hopefully it won’t be our swan song.
Final thought...
John Rukavina.
Obamaphone lady.
Compare/contrast.
To: Twinkie
Thanks Twinkie—to me, Eric Nordstrom and Lt. Col. Wood are heroes for speaking out. They are doing the right thing at great personal and professional risk, because the fate of the highest officers of our government will be affected by their words. That is a fearsome position to find oneself in.
The truth is, the Taliban and Al Qaeda ARE inside the building. As a closet Muslim and American-hating Communist, Obama is the enemy inside the gates, although with his entire Administration.
The least we can do for the patriots like Nordstrom and Wood is to boot this lawless President and Administration out of DC in three weeks.
And then prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law for their many misdeeds.
May God grant it to be so.

The Rukavinas grew up in the same neighborhood as I did. They were well known in their field then. I didn’t know this guy but I knew his sons.

This American ironworker needs to go on the road with Romney-Ryan -- Romney-Ryan and Rukavina -- fighting for a Real Recovery!
To: Cincinatus' Wife
OMG! The only way I could watch that video was lying flat on my back on the floor and holding on to my sofa.........
I hope that guy is the highest paid guy in the world......
