Dear X-sters, I am a 73 YO, retired chemist living in Southern IL (near St. Louis). I'm married (42 years), have 3 girls and 9 grandkids. Yes, my profile picture is me and I am not a robot. I don't care to engage in DMs, so please accept my apology for not responding.

@miles_commodore Amen to that! We grew up in a wildly diverse community and nobody held back any speech. And nobody even flinched.

@Hot_Pepper76 Worked with a guy that listened to Redbone only. Not bad stuff, but I wouldn’t go quite that far.

@ThatCheerMomOfX Love your posts.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants.

Nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated.

But they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer,
picnics, and baseball games. True "reflection" is a part of this country's
greatness. Please be a participant.

If you are anywhere near a farm or livestock and you set off fireworks, you’re an asshole.

I have horses running for their lives, calves circling and dogs going nuts.

@Hot_Pepper76 Good morning, Dar. Happy 4th!

@Hot_Pepper76 So many entertainers of that generation served without the fanfare and came back to resume their careers. How many of the America-hating turds of today’s entertainment industry are that honorable?

@Hot_Pepper76 The movie Hacksaw Ridge is a good portrayal of his heroics.

@AlixG_2 @DefiantLs Exactly! How is this even controversial?
