    I was in that crowd as a 9 year old kid, I remember I was on my Daddy’s shoulders. I’m glad I found this video...When President left he had his windows down & I felt like he waved right at me. What a great day for a 9 year old kid!

Including the Bill of Rights. Especially the first and second amendment and will continue until I breathe my final breath.

      @@judymcdougal5204 thank you. Both of you. It is nice to know some people appreciate what we do. My goal and my brothers and sisters feel the same. We pray we can help by just being there. And we can help in anyway. I was a Ranger in Africa. They had a civil war. People, some god people don’t think we should be in other countries. I agree with being in Iran. We didn’t know but they had no weapons of mass destruction. But people were being starved until the wasted to nothing! We had to help them! They weren’t getting the food our tax dollars and. The kind donations people gave. They weren’t getting a bite of it! The opposition was taking all the food that was for the people. They came to the drop of sites but they were beaten and shot trying to grab a Handful of rice. If you’ve ever missed a meal and felt hungry.imagine not having food for days? Starving is a lot of Pain! These people would have their arm cut off for a bit of food!

      That's cool. 1980 was the first election I was old enough to vote in, and I could not wait to vote for Reagan. Voted for him again in 1984. I was on active duty for both votes & voted by absentee ballot back when they meant something.

      Trump has been the best President we had since Reagan. Before him, we would have to go to JFK. He had trouble keeping it in his pants. And if he wrote his book instead of his wife. Jacqueline Kennedy was one of the greatest first ladies all the presidents! Roosevelts wife I forget her name was also a great First Lady.
