Default Flies every day...

...depending on the weather otherwise...

...I took some rolls of film from the largest flag day parade in the Nation up here the other day, (Sun) ,and it might take a few days to get them on disc, however I will send them to Bern to post after getting them back, I can't send them as my daughter reworked my internal componets of my computer, and sent my cd driver out into cyberland someplace,...

...The flag day in Troy originated when a man by the name of "Jimmy Passinella" got pissed off after returning from Vietnam, and seeing our flag being burned in protests...

...He put up a bunch of his own money, and staged his own parade in demonstration of them...

...the parade has grown yearly, and this year, we had 40,000 to 50,000 people line the streets in rememberence of what our flag truly represents FREEDOM...

...Freedom to live in the greatest nation in the world,...

... there is an old expression saying "Gods Country",...

... This choosin Nation is God's Country because of that one singular word...

...FREEDOM...

...We got it..., and were gonna keep it, no matter what we have to do, to do it.............
