It's times like this that I am glad my Mom is no longer here to see things like this. She died last October.

Mom would have broken down and sobbed if she saw this picture of our flag being disrespected.  Like many of her generation she was extremely patriotic.  During WWII she was a "Rosie the Riveter."  She was 5 feet tall, weighed 100 pounds soaking wet.  She ran 3 brake presses, fabricating parts for B-52 bomb sites.  She worked long, hard hours and did not quit until she was 8-1/2 months pregnant.

In her "spare" time she wrote a letter a week to 25 of the guys in her neighborhood who were serving all over the world.  They each got a package of home baked goods once a month.  They each got a miniature local newspaper once a month.  Mom visited their wives or mothers once a month to see if they needed anything.

When she was in her late 70s she worked 5 hours a day, 7 days a week doing volunteer work for the Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society.  She only stopped because she started to lose her vision.

Her entire adult life she put flags outside on appropriate holidays, taking care they hung correctly, never touched the ground and were carefully brought inside before sunset.

Yeah, she would have been heartbroken to see her beloved flag being treated like trash.

My Mom, an American hero, on her 90th birthday in 2010.



God rest her soul....a REAL American Patriot!

I shudder to think where we would be nowadays had this present idiot generation been around back in the 40's rather than the stalwarts like this fine Lady.

Billy, Thank you for your kind words regarding my Mom.   :smile:

So is Hillary, so your observation fits well.

Add a few more names just to get it right.  I can't think of enough words for her, not enough space here to give it all it should get. 

We've seen this time and time again about how darned stupid liberals are when it comes to their give-a-way candidates.  They have absolutely no shame and love nothing more than time on their hands to wallow in the misery they want for everyone else.
