Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Alright, obviously the music in this tribute to our military and veterans is designed to get you a little weepy. So what. We are free today because of people like this. Useless liberals are free to curse their President without fear of retaliation because people like this crawled through mud and bullets for us. Is it fair? No. Do I wish all these useless liberals who, after the election, have threatened to leave the US and go live in Canada or elsewhere, would actually do so and get the heck out of my country? Absolutely. But, that's beside the point. Let's never forget how blessed we are in this country, and the price at which our freedom was bought.
