MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

 

I WASN’T PLANNING A SPECIAL ARTICLE THIS YEAR FOR THE 4^TH OF JULY, UNTIL A COUPLE OF FACEBOOK FRIENDS CONTACTED ME WITH REASONS WHY I SHOULD.

DAWN RENEE POSTED, “MY GENERATION GREW UP RECITING THIS EVERY MORNING IN SCHOOL WITH MY HAND ON MY HEART. THEY NO LONGER DO IT FOR FEAR OF OFFENDING SOMEONE”

“I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTYAND JUSTICE FOR ALL!”

THEN I GOT A MESSAGE FROM SETH GRENKY, “The American flag does not fly because the wind moves past it, it flies from the last breath of each military member who has died protecting it. American Soldiers don’t fight because they hate what’s in front of them they fight because they love what’s behind them!”

THAT’S WHEN I CONTACTED MY OLD FRIEND DON ORIOLO, WHO DRAWS FELIX THE CAT, AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ANY CARTOONS LAYING  AROUND WITH FELIX CELEBRATING THE 4^TH. A FEW HOURS LATER, DON SENT ME THE ABOVE PICTURE THAT HE PAINTED JUST FOR HE OCCASION…THAT’S WHEN I KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THE 4^TH OF JULY IS TO MOST AMERICANS.

HERE IS MY COLLECTION OF PATRIOTIC MUSIC VIDEOS, WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE #1 PAGE IN GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PAST 216 WEEKS! INCLUDES ELVIS, RAY CHARLES, TOBY KEITH, JOHNNY HORTON, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, JAMES BROWN, WHITNEY HOUSTON, AND A DOZEN MORE! https://artiewayne.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/the-top-the-best-and-the-greatest-patriotic-music-videos/

THANKS AGAIN TO DON ORIOLO AND FELIX THE CAT FOR MAKING TODAY SO SPECIAL!  <
