UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted July 4, 2013 Happy fourth of July to all those celebrating today your nation has come a long way since 1776. And done much good and caused the least harm all the way during that journey. From Washington to Obama From Gettysburg to Baghdad.You have created a nation that is a super power. One that is both democratic and benign it is a lot to be proud of. From the shot that was heard around the world to a man on the moon it has been a wonderful journey. Happy independence day y'all...from your Cousin's over the Pond :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capitaine Vengeur 263 Posted July 4, 2013 150 years ago, Vicksburg MS, last Confederate bolt on the Mississipi River, surrendered to the Union, thus granting Grant his first step to the White House and the USD 20 note. The town did not celebrate the July 4 any more before 1944. The same day around Gettysburg PA, shocked and exhausted men were still digging the biggest mass graves ever on the American continent to clear an extensive slaughterfield from thousands of bodies and parts of bodies. All of them American, having seen more than their life part of fireworks during the three previous days. Wonderful days... Oh, well, happy July 4 however!

exhausted 55 Posted July 17, 2013 Grant is on the $50. Two wins for the U.S. Army in won day! 4 July 1863. The high tide of the Confederacy. Too bad no Marines have made it into office. I recall John Glenn making it into the primaries in 1984. McCain has a son in the Marines.... I wonder why the Marines and possibly Coast Guard are the only ones left out of the White House. Wonder what would have happened with a Krulak, Giger, Puller, or a Glenn in the WH. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exhausted 55 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Sex scandals? We love sex in America. All kinds at that, so don't get bent out of shape when a warrior gets some on the side. Edited July 17, 2013 by exhausted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Jug 99 Posted July 19, 2013 Exhausted brings up an interesting point. With "Chesty" Puller or another good Marine sitting in the oval office, would there have been anything but respectful treatment of our ambassador in Libya? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted July 19, 2013 And if it was a Curtiss LeMay or a Dave Slavens, there would be no Libya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
