Third Herd, Iraq 2005 photo courtesy of John McCullouch What is freedom worth to Americans? Is it worth the loss of friends or a job? Is it worth the loss of a home or car or societal status? Is it worth everything? Worth your life? It’s a question that certainly must have challenged more than a [...] At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin said that the work of our founding fathers had given us a Republic… “if [we] could keep it.” More than 200 years after those words were spoken, one could view his words as prophetic at the least. As well, they must come as a wake-up, [...] Note: I ran this column last year, and believe it is worthy – and appropriate – on this Flag Day, as well. May we fly Old Glory high and proud! In the winter of 1969, the sentimental comic Red Skelton treated his television audience to a story from his childhood. He spoke of the significance of the [...] The American Revolution Center has released results of an eye-opening survey, summing things up with this headline: 83 Percent of U.S. Adults Fail Test on Nation’s Founding Nationwide Survey Shows Stunning Knowledge Void, Yet Strong Desire to Learn More The survey, conducted via telephone, used a random sampling of men and women over the age of 18 [...] I found this video on the Pearl Harbor attack, which includes footage from Americans as well as “the enemy”, the video states.

Most of us saw it coming. What better way to implement the fascist policies of privately owned/government run. In fact, we’ve been exposed to the possibility since the first bailout, and again shortly after Obama’s inauguration, when [...] I’m not much of a technical person, so the process of moving from my original Wordpress blog to this website has been a very slow one, indeed. Almost as slow as the time it seemed to take to make a video/slideshow with all of the 9/12 March photos I took. My second attempt at videography [...] I realize there are so many people who’ve already posted photos. Call me fashionably late, but it’ll be worth the wait. I made the decision at some point on Friday that we would enjoy the company of the men and women from all across the United States for 48 hours. No blogging, emailing or Facebooking [...] September 11, 2001 was moving day for Louis Steven Inghilterra and his family. With renovations to their home in the community of Chappaqua, NY, now complete, Louis left the family’s apartment in Ossining for the last time and headed for his office on the 95th floor of 2 World Trade Center.
