Happy Veterans Day!


Thank you to all the veterans past and present of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and National Guard, who have sacrificed their physical and mental well being, as well as their lives in certain cases to protect our freedoms. This day I remember you.

Happy Constitution and Citizenship Day!


Happy Constitution and Citizenship Day everybody! I commemorate this day because in the United States, this is the day that our Constitution was ratified as well as the day that we commemorate all freedom loving citizens around the world.

I hope that wherever you’re at in the world, and whoever’s reading this, does really appreciate the freedoms, and rights they have in any Democratic Republic around the world. So here’s to all the freedom loving individuals in the various 196 to 250 countries in the world.

Happy Patriots’ Day!


Happy Patriots’ Day everybody! Like everybody else, I remember exactly where I was on September 11, 2001. I was in my high school drama class junior year. Such a tragic day! We were all in total shock. Words can’t express the deep sadness, heartbreak, and agony we all feel on this day!

 If Patriots’ Day is an unofficial holiday, it really should be an official national holiday because it was unfortunately burned into all of our brains, and none of us will ever forget those images.

Happy Flag Day!

Today we pay homage to 1 of our nation’s greatest symbols. The flag of the United States of America, itself. Where the red and white stripes represent the 13 colonies that began our country’s history and the 50 stars denote each of the individual states in our current union.

On a side note, I support any country around the world having a day to commemorate its own flag, and taking pride in its own history.

I’m looking at you other 195 to 249 countries around the world, depending on your definition of a country, to show your pride.

Happy Presidents' Day!

 

Today is a day used to commemorate all the individuals who have been given the title President of the United States in our country’s history. We casually call this day that occurs every 3rd Monday in February, Presidents’ Day. But in actuality if you look back at the history of this holiday. It’s the combination of 2 holidays in one. George Washington’s Birthday is actually on February 22nd, and was celebrated on that particular day since 1879. But Abraham Lincoln’s birthday also used to be celebrated separately as a federal holiday on February 12th throughout the years since 1866. One year after his assassination by the famous stage actor John Wilkes Booth. The Uniform Holidays Act of 1968 is what shifted Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays to the same day and combined the 2 into one holiday. Instead of 2 separate holidays like it had been prior to 1968. However, there has been no law officially changing the actual name from what it had been, which was Washington’s Birthday to Presidents’ Day. But all Americans as I said in this modern time, on their own refer to it as simply Presidents’ Day which allows for the remembrance of every president to be encompassed into one day.

Thank You to All D-Day Veterans


On this day, everyone make sure to thank any veterans of D-Day in your life. On June 6, 1944, the Allied forces stormed the beaches of Omaha and Utah in Normandy, France ,75 years ago. This began the liberation of Europe from Nazi control. If it weren’t for “the greatest generation” as they are known, we’d all be speaking German. I would have been euthanized because of the cerebral palsy. Despite my high intelligence. Anyone not deemed a supporter would be put in camps and euthanized. On a side note, Aryan actually means the people of the Indus River Valley in the actual country of India in Southeast Asia. The Swastika is a Hindu/Buddhist symbol of peace in the East, and a sign of evil in the West. So that’s how warped they were. And there’s not many heroes of that generation left, so let them know you’re grateful.

Thank You to All 9/11 First Responders


I wanted to take the time to convey my deepest condolences to the victims, their families, survivors, and 1st responders of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. It’s a day that’s ingrained in everyone’s memory, as well as mine. I’m 34 now, but was 17 at the time, and I remember it vividly. May you find peace. May history always remember your sacrifice, and never forget the tragedy of this day.

And to the 1st responders who survived the attacks, but their mental, emotional, and physical health is in question because of all the things they ingested, and endured during that traumatic day, thank you for the courage to do what’s right, and put yourselves before other people, even though you knew it would most likely be dangerous not only in the short term, but in the long term down the road.
