The MSM Narrative

Posted by Warren 

Even before Monday's gun-rights rally in Virginia, NBC News reporter Ben Collins called it a "white nationalist" gathering,  even as he warned against spreading "made-up stuff" on Twitter. Later on, Collins deleted his original tweet, and changed it to: "Hi everybody! I’m deleting a tweet so I can be super clear about tomorrow’s rally in Virginia." He then proceeded to rationalize  his obvious discrimination against the 2nd Amendment in general and those who support it in particular.

Here are a few videos and pictures of those "white nationalists":

Just Because...

HAVE FUN, BUT NEVER FORGET THE REASON FOR THE SEASON:

75 Years Ago Today

One of the World War 2 veterans  in our family stated the following about that infamous day, and he enlisted in the US Navy the next day:

"My heart came up into my mouth when I heard the news."

Also note this warning about losing our American heritage:

Curmudgeon's excellent comment to this thread:

The bonds between the crew members of the Arizona have lasted far beyond the ship’s loss on December 7, 1941. Since 1982, the US Navy has allowed survivors to be interred in the ship’s wreckage upon their deaths.

Following a full military funeral at the memorial, the cremated remains are placed in an urn and then deposited by divers beneath one of the gun turrets. To date, more than 30 Arizona crewmen who survived Pearl Harbor have chosen the ship as their final resting place. Crew members who served on the ship prior to the attack may have their ashes scattered above the wreck site, and those who served on other vessels stationed at Pearl Harbor that fateful day, may have their ashes scattered above their former ships. In 2011, only 18 of the 355 crewmen who survived the bombing of USS Arizona were still alive. Today there are only six. All of them are in their 90’s or older. This will be their final commemoration appearance.

If you have never visited Pearl Harbor or the Arizona Memorial you are missing one of the more poignant testaments to the madness of man’s inhumanity to man.

The Christmas Spirit

(If you must have politics, please scroll down)

As I've mentioned before, this year the AOW household has received numerous Christmas blessings from Decorate A Vet, an organization that thanks veterans for their military service by putting skilled artisans and volunteers' hands to work. 

 Jeff Jones, the founder and vice president of Decorate A Vet says when we thank him, "Gotta love the Christmas spirit!"  And the expression on his face when he makes this statement is one of joy.

As you'll see in the some of the photos below, the blessings we received from Decorate A Vet go far beyond decorating veterans' homes for Christmas. Permanent home improvements are made!
