Re: 250 years
Happy Birthday Y'all. Sadly, due to multiple credible threats, the parade and citywide celebration scheduled in Lawton, Oklahoma today was cancelled. Lawton is the home of Fort Sill, a large Artillery training base for the Army and Marine Corps. The concerns were not so much for the military, who don't back down from threats lightly, but the civilians in the surrounding communities who would sponsor and attend the celebration.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Yes, it is ashame that some people don't like this Country. Yet, they still stay. I agree; the road ahead looks bumpy.

Ahh, good old Ft Sill, my last 5 years were spent there, minus two deployments to play in the sandbox. Too bad there was a threat, would have been a great parade there.

Both side's love their county. The sane one's want to stay and solve the differences and not run away from problems. "Love it or leave it" is not a solution.

Re: 250 years
I don't want to make a big issue, yet, burning the US flag does not seem like a sign of love to me. Just like being in a marriage, fighting (hitting, beating, burning or shooting) does not lead to a happy ending. At least, not for both sides. Lot of people have loss their blood because of the flag. Just don't seem like a good way to honor those who gave their life for this Country. Then, that is just me.
