From the time of the uso and on, people supporting the troops have gone close to the battle fields but mostly far away.
Not just in other lands but through America they have been to every state.
Most of the troops (guessing) were never in battle.
It is a big todo for the 250th anniversary of our nation. In case I don't make it to the 300th I an taking notes here 😋
It was not the rich or politicians that created this country so many are proud of but those who jumped in or were drafted that put their lives on the line.
People will use any excuse to party. What all goes on at the fairgrounds.
What ever you are so proud of in this nation came from the risk, suffering and death of those who went to fight or those willing to do so.
Memorial day is ok to 'honor the dead' . The 4th is supposed to be involved in a celebration for our great accomplishment.
The 4th of July is the perfect time to honor our guys . Might have a social event at the big red barn. Place pictures of your guys on display.
Vets could squeeze in their uniforms or just wear their hats.
Families / friends could have picture badges of their love ones in the military past or present.
Gotta take the pup out, might continue at a later time.
