When Civil Liberties Go Too Far...

This is unacceptable...I don't care what your political, social, moral, or personal beliefs are treating a memorial such as this, in this manner, is absolutely unacceptable:

Happy Birthday America...

So despite the fact that I am a firm believer that we should celebrate/observe the birth of America on either July 2nd, the actual day that the Declaration of Independence was passed or on August 2nd, the day it was signed...I am willing to accept that tradition stipulates that we celebrate the birth of America on July 4th, the day of the first public reading of the document on the streets of Philadelphia. And since today is the 4th of July let me be one of the first to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, America!!!

Let us not forget to take a moment to remember all the men and women who have gone before us and continue to serve this great nation in our Armed Forces...Remember:

For those who fought for it,
Freedom has a flavor
the protected will never know.

Thank you to all the Veterans and the families of the fallen...your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Are you looking for something....

"You ever go looking for something that really wasn't all that lost to begin with? I'd say most of us spend all our lives searching for that which is right there all along.

Tragedy of it all is that we dig and we dig and we dig so desperately to find whatever it is we're looking for...'til of course, we get tired of diggin' there and we start somewhere new...

But if we'd endured...if we'd just shoveled away one more pile...we'd a struck gold."

This is insanity...

I cannot believe this Ad Campaign was ever approved and after seeing the photo for myself I have no idea how the executives in charge can make the following statement:

"The ad design, which was developed as an evolution of the long-standing Tysons Corner Center campaign "Where the Stores are,"™ was not intended to emulate any representation of the Memorial Wall."

How was this intended to be anything but an abusive representation of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall?
