HAPPY BIRTHDAY

... TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
-
That is what the 4th of July is.  Exactly that!  Unequivocal, positively the birth of our Nation.
-

We must remember.

It is up to us to teach the young ones what it means.  Our 4th of July must NOT be just about picnics!

The Korean War

Many have paid to allow us our picnics.

A few years back, I met a gentlemen during one of my wife's business events.  He was in his late seventies or early eighties.  He asked me to help him pick out a pair of sheepskin mittens explaining that "he could not keep his hands warm since the Frozen Chosin".........
-
If you do not know, the "Frozen Chosin" is a common reference to what was a decisive campaign early in the Korean War (Nov/Dec 1950).  It was characterized by subzero temperatures and our soldiers having inadequate winter weather clothing.  A lot of frostbite!
-
Some 60 years after living through this experience, this Veteran still suffered for having served his country.  I could have hugged him, but he probably would have slapped me silly.... so I stood, shook his hand, thanked him for his service, and helped him find the best pair of sheepskin mittens we had to offer.  A small service compared to his.
-
There are many such stories, I am sure.  That is why we must remember our history, and how we came to be where we are.  And enjoy the fruits of the labors of those who came before us.
-
Have a safe and fun 4th of July.......
