Isn't it great that we live in a Nation, where everyone has an opinion and can state that opinion.
Some are passionate for one canidate, other for the canidate of another political party.
Even a Roman Catholic priest can state his opinion as Father Greeley has done.
He an author of several books and been outspoken on various issues.
But his opinion is just another opinion.
But as much as he calls for the outsing of the current President.
Many has voice an opinion of the worthiness of John Forbes Kerry to hold that office.
Our own opinion is that John Forbes Kerry should be held accountable for the actions after Vietnam.
Some would argue that he help shorten the war in Vietnam.
But than we would like to know how deaths of American servicemen and women did he cause by his actions in Vietnam Veterans Against the War?

Artists really do have an impact on who we are as a Nation. This small town sod buster owes his Freedom of Speech to many a Marine. Sometime I look at this Norman Rockwell picture and think that this gentlemen is a War Veteran.

Yeah, after standing up to the Kaiser's boys, he has no problem standing in front of his neighbors to speak his mind!

Great picture!

A little history on that photo...from the "Four Freedom of Speech by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

This was from the start of World War II, making him most likely a volunteer at a town meeting before shipping out to face the dangers of that war.
Either in Europe or the Pacific...looks like Marine Corps volunteer to me....
