We did an Independence Day gig at the nursing home of the VA Hospital for our area.

We all had a great time, and met a lot of interesting people.

The parts of the facility that I saw were spotless and well maintained. Plus the help seemed to be very friendly and respectful to the disabled vets. That was very good to see.

Being part "Native American", from both my parents, is one of the things I'm most proud of. Not that it matters what I think or feel, it just is what it is. My maternal great (don't know how many greats) grandfather was a Presbyterian Preacher from England that came here and married a full blooded Mohawk woman in the 1700's. I have a copy of a tintype photo of her when she looked to be 100. We were "colonized" so to speak a lot sooner than most people realize. Some established going back to the 1500's. Which begs the question, how far back do you go to correct wrongs, in any country, anywhere in the world? Am I due back rent on my ancestral territories? Just kidding, but when I think of everything this country has gone through over the last 249 years and the steady decline after WWII, hmm.

We are what we are and love us or hate us, we truly are the last stand. There's still vast parts of this country where common sense prevails and we know how to take care of ourselves. It may not appear that way from the outside because those people are silenced by the manipulation of numbers is larger areas, but we're still here, ready, willing, and able to defend the Republic. That's what America is. When it's not, then it's over. You won't see it by plane, or bomb, or invasion, it will happen from within.
