One heck of a 4th of July… huh?

I love America… I was conceived in the womb of a good woman a while back when our young men… and women… were simply doing what needed to be done… here are a few words about them…

“The most brilliant of generals, the most inspiring of admirals, and the greatest of battlefield troops would pale in significance to the thousands of American Rosie and Ronnie the Riveters who outproduced both the Axis and the other Allied powers combined, contributing nearly three hundred thousand planes, 2 million trucks, eighty-seven thousand warships, and one hundred thousand tanks to Roosevelt’s arsenal of democracy in 1943.”

The above ️ words… borrowed from pages 392 and 393 of Craig Nelson’s 2016 brilliant book 📕 Pearl Harbor from Infamy to Greatness… well worth reading!

Here are a few minutes of one young American woman’s very recent shared words about this country of ours – pls click on… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hk3A5SaIXA  (follow instructions pls)

That’s about it folks… a good man’s few borrowed words on his first day… brief time in office… “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country…”

My few words… materialism stinks… way down below ️… doin’ without… long overdue!
