I didn't realize this

I wish my parents would have taught me how great America is

Yep.

🇺🇸

I've developed a sort of mournful patriotism

#1

I wish I'd served and am now ashamed

I still got time, maybe you still do.

You can always do something to help #MAGA.

I can barely straighten my back now

Find some good Americans.

support veterans

good find, i'm literally surrounded by the people making America not great

The cultural fronts are just as in need of good men ans the physical ones.

Take some time to read the stories of fallen heroes too, every once in a while.

ooh i like this

TWD is gay of course

Ive always loved reading war stories

Try churches. You can usually find patriots in some.

its why i liked Fallout New Vegas, even the story (story is gay)

You know a little over 50% of the medals of honor awarded in WW2 were posthumously?

my roommate has her nephew over sometimes
He told me in sunday school the "teacher" told him he was wrong to think cavemen existed

so idk bout that

god that is sad as hell

No man, heroism.

you know what i mean, they never lived to be thanked

Yeah it can be hard to think about.

i went to see the army cemetary in town on memorial day. the stones arent raised, theyre flat plates embedded in the ground

But it's important to do, it give you such a sense of reverance.

reverence*

i thought that was kinda sad

the many many flags were beautiful tho

Have you seen the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

I need to visit there one day yet.

no but i know a song about it i think

Added to the queue:

For a while there I was finding all the videos of the ceremony I could find.

its a guy who was never identified?

But when you learn about the level of work put into honoring these fallen soldiers it really helps you understand.

I owe them everything i have
