Shame on me

I forgot. Fox News tonight mentioned that 70 years ago, The American Flag was raised on Iwo Jima. Local leftie newspaper had a one liner, and global leftie Obami made no mention of it, as far as I know....................

Thank you to all those veterans past and present and future, who protect this country, as best they can, in the face of the idiocy that is rapidly overtaking this country!!!


Why can I still not find an American flag smilie on this site??? :-(

Why can I still not find an American flag smilie on this site???

Maybe because most of the vets here would find that disrespectful?

To any Iwo Marines not yet guarding the Pearly Gates - Semper Fi! To those fets still with us and the many on this site ... what Lee said. Thank you.

We have 2 flags as part of our banner.

And perhaps I mis-spoke. No offense intended

I knew an Iwo Jima vet. I had known him all my life and did not know he was an Iwo Jima marine until about 10 years ago. He passed away 3 years ago this spring...the Greatest Generation is rapidly vanishing.


God bless each and every one of them.

Understood. But a smilie makes it quicker for and easier for some of us computer challenged folks. Just sayin. Still, thank you all veterans.............
FIL was a Korea veteran... Chosin Few. God Bless him and them also .................
