As we celebrate our nation’s Declaration of Independence that happened 248 years ago, CONSIDER THIS: The American flag does NOT fly because it represents one political party or another. Our flag and this holiday are a reminder of founding fathers and brave soldiers who fought for our nation’s INDEPENDENCE and the FREEDOM to self-govern under GENUINE DEMOCRACY. It is a reminder for ALL races of our nation’s enduring commitment to JUSTICE, LIBERTY, and the importance of INTEGRITY (in the public eye and behind closed doors). As we navigate the complexities of these times, may we ALL choose to engage in encouraging THOUGHTFUL reflection and DIALOGUE instead of divisiveness. As our pledge of allegiance says: We are ONE nation under God. Isn’t time we started acting like that? . . . #July4th #Independence #OneNationUnderGod

The 4th of July is a time not only for fireworks and barbecues but for deep reflection on the freedoms we enjoy. From the perspective of a Marine, this day resonates with a profound sense of duty and pride. It's a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us, ensuring our ability to live freely and uphold the ideals on which our great nation was founded. Let's honor this day by remembering the courage, commitment, and camaraderie of United States Service Members and Veterans. Every burst of fireworks in the sky reminds us of the fiery spirit of those who fought and continue to fight for our liberty.

The markets are closed today in honor of Juneteenth. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

In light of recent events and the troubling news about former President Trump, it's clear that our nation stands at a critical crossroads. The divisions we face today echo the time when our country was on the brink of civil war. The intense polarization, the breakdown of civil discourse, and the growing distrust among fellow Americans are all reminiscent of the pre-Civil War era. We must seek common ground, and work towards our more perfect union.

General David Petraeus for President This is America. Voting is a privilege. Every American citizen should be equally free to vote. I am making myself a promise that I will take the privilege of voting much more seriously. I will be an informed voter. I will vote for candidates with real qualifications and great "doable" ideas for the future. One concern I have is that neither of the current assumed candidates have military backgrounds. In todays environment we need someone in the White House with military experience. We have had some great presidents with impressive military backgrounds. We need David Petraeus now. This is a picture of General Petraeus and me, Darrell Griffin. I have been asked if David is a Democrat or a Republican. After much research I don't know. Socially I think he leans Democrat and fiscally and military wise I think he leans Republican. Find the entire article at PureAudacity.com as the latest blog post.
