Notes by Bernard Chumm:
....For instance, that Declaration and
Constitution...were bought and paid for by
the lives of tens of thousands of Americans
wishing to be free of a royal yoke it seems
Canada was content to live with. The green
fields of France and Italy and the barren
hills of Korea are painted with the graves of
nearly 250,000 Americans who died
liberating those and other countries…none
of whom ever shot at us first.
...above all, during our Civil War, nearly one
million Americans died, of which
approximately 600,000 for trying to liberate
a color of people most had never even seen.

Why is it conservatives never come right
out and say that the willingness of
American men and women to die for the
cause of not just liberty, but other men’s
liberty, is a defining characteristic of
American spirit?

We don't even have this soldier's name, but it's
in Texas. The pictures speak for themselves.
When's the last time you stopped, pulled over,
removed your cap, or put your hand over your
heart, then waited out of respect...?

We were going to do a photo cascade of
this song anyway, but found one on
YouTube. A fitting tribute to all
generations, that Good Men die because
of Bad Men
