Letters from War

Another birthday of our nation has passed. 232 years ago, Americans decided to resist the harsh taxes, revolt against the oppression of tyranny, and rise as a nation. And to this day we still stand as a nation opposed to tyranny and oppression.

From General to Commander in Chief: Dwight D. Eisenhower

No other President with maybe the exceptions of George Washington and Ulysses Grant brought more fame, success, and military genius to the office of President as Dwight Eisenhower. As a result of an overwhelming love from the American people, Dwight David Eisenhower became the thirty-fourth President of the United States in 1953.

Fellow Americans, I Honor You

This post isn’t about whether you support President Bush or not. This isn’t about whether the war is right or not. This isn’t even about when or how we should pull out. This post is about people.

American Tears

Otto over at American Interests left me a link to this video. This song was written by Teresa Jennings, a children’s music writer. I believe it shows the heart of many Americans, both young and old.

Spirit of America

As I wipe the tears from my eyes and reach for the box of Kleenex beside me, I felt compelled to post this video. This is a Super Bowl commercial that ran on Sunday during the Super Bowl.

Thank You?

In a news story released by Foxnews comes one of the saddest stories I have heard recently. They report that a commercial, created by a non-profit organization to thank our troops for their sacrifice, will not be airing on NBC. NBC claims it will not air the commercial because the organization’s website is on the [...]
