Patriots.
Tonight I attended a county-wide American Legion meeting. Those in attendance included Caucasian and African-American men and women veterans, including one female Navy Captain on active duty. The subjects on the agenda were various programs to help veterans and children.
There was no discussion of politics, because politics doesn’t matter when one is in a room full of genuine patriots.
It was a refreshing break.
Thank you and all of those wonderful folks in the room for your service.

Here, Here… what Mr. Bingley said…
And, that statement about politics and patriots? I nominate that be carved into the facade of the new Capitol building when we rebuild…
