    Ah, D-Day. That is why the flags are lowered today. My Grandfather fought in that battle. :clap:

    How they must shudder at the thought of what America has become.

    Maybe you're right Jimmy, I'm not trying to be confrontational but I do feel that unquestioning adulation is very much part of the problem.

    Look it's the same in my own country, certain dates which by their very nature are meant to stir national pride, the very notion of questioning such nationalism is met with anger and similar remarks.

    I think we should always be validating our history and if we still feel we can stand over them with equal merit and pride then, well they must be very special moments indeed,
