(a tip for any libs visiting today- moderate sarcasm inserted throughout)
as many of you know, i send boo to The Training School for Future Right- Wing Extremists.
at this school, things are done a little bit differently.
each & every morning they begin their day, saying the pledge of allegiance, complete with the wording "under God" followed by singing the star spangled banner.
their uniforms are red, white and blue.
And, they are taught all about our founding fathers, the presidents, and Christopher Columbus (the original version, not the progressives re-invention). they learn of martin luther king, the ending of the cold war, 9-11 and other major historical events.
on veterans day, they present a well rehearsed indoctrination to those who have or are now serving in our military.
it begins with a chosen, jr. high age boy scout, leading the posting of the colors.
as he walks into the gym...
... all stand, face the flag and even naturally place their hands upon their hearts.
at this school they are taught, beginning in kindergarten, proper respect for the flag and what it represents.
they are taught of those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we share.
they have studied history, wars, and other events that have formed this great nation.
and they understand.
they sing the national anthem.all verses.
it is a sight to behold!
each year various experienced right wingers are invited to say a few words. each time, they are always motivating, emotional and come with heartfelt experiences to share.
this year was no different.
there were two speakers:
the first was Bryant Jacobs who served in the Army of the 65th Engineers. He was injured in a roadside bomb and spent 2 years in Walter Reed army medical center. two years in a hospital! though it has taken him years to recover and he's had over 35 surgeries, leaving him still, today walking with a cane - he spoke with pride, of freedom, of this country and of his service with his military brothers and sisters-and he spoke with no regrets.
Jeanine Lundell was the second speaker. she is a mother of four children who attend this school of radicals. her husband enlisted in the army reserves after 9-11 with a desire to promote freedom and the liberties of this people and to fight against the terrorists. he was sent to afghanistan where he served and ultimately died defending freedom. her words brought an understanding to the children, and all in attendance, on a more personal level. many tears were shed as she shared her story.
following the speakers remarks,
the children proceeded with their program to the vets and military.
and though there were no barack hussein obama mmmmm songs on the program;
they did sing;
this land is your land
this is my country
god bless america
and proud to be an american
it was the perfect day!
my heart rang with pride for those who have served valiantly with honor.
God Bless America!
