American heroes. My late Uncle was a combat wounded Vietnam veteran Marine. I’ve got a lot of stories, but I’ll save those for another time. I will say, he was, and still is, a hero of mine. I was blessed to get to spend a lot of time with him when he came home from overseas, terrorizing trout from Colorado to Idaho.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Devil Dogs. Badasses. I’m not one of you, but I’m damned thankful for you.
God Bless what’s left of America.
I’m keeping the available knives in the shop on my other website at GibsonLeather.com to keep things simple. This one is finished and available, and if you’re interested, all the specs and details are at https://gibsonleather.com/products/gibson-traditional-round-or-head-knife-for-leather?variant=41165830881432
Never gave much of a damn either way with the NFL, NBA, or any of those other “N” organizations. These days, you couldn’t pay me to watch that crap. I’m a rodeo and bullriding fan–always have been. It’s about as American as it gets, and you’re likely to get a prayer at the outset. You’ll definitely get the National Anthem. Contestants in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), and the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) stand for the Anthem. Unless there’s a good reason not to.
I won’t watch the NFL, or their “Super Bowl” this weekend because I won’t sit and watch a bunch of ridiculously overpaid, spoiled, America-haters take a knee during the National Anthem. The ones that don’t disrespect the flag and the country? They tolerate the ones that do.
The United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs has an Honor Code. In part, it says, “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does…” If you tolerate the behavior, you may as well participate in it.
If you hate the country or disrespect what it stands for–thank an American Veteran. Those folks are the heroes, and they’re the people that have sacrificed over generations to preserve your right to take a dump all over what America stands for. They paid for it — you can suck it.
Better yet, you can leave. But, you won’t.
From what’s left of America …
