Ah ,,, the Concord bridge,,, hollowed ground indeed my friends,and the second battle for independence in this nations founding by,,,,, the people,,,,,,,
Been there before,, I left a 101st patch and a flag there in respect and solidarity. Being there and really thinking about what happened there defiantly makes you ponder some on what this country is all about.
And for me,,even more so,, many members of my family have died in many of the major conflicts through out our history, and I can literally can trace my family back to before the white man even came to the Champlain Valley. Lot's of old history in my family and around here. One of my Abanaki ancestors was a guide for Ethen Allen's troops and many other early Colonial troops and settlers during the early days around here, and even on record/display at Ft Ticonderoga in an old document,,, very cool indeed! Hell my family has been in every war sense the beginning till just before Iraq, and this is the only generation in my family's history to not have someone serving in the military sense before the American Revaluation,,,it's crazy to think about.
That may be why this country means so damn much to me and I spout off so much about it,, it was built with the blood of my family and mine,,, so I guess I sort of have a vested interest in this country's well being.
It's sad to see the depths the crooked politicians have stooped to just to keep there pockets lined. If recent history is any indicator ,,, it doesn't bode well for this country's future if things keep up as they are. There ridiculousness tax's and BS laws there coming up with will surly push this country over the edge if things don't change pretty soon.
And I think history will show this down the road a bit, hopefully we still have a country left.
