Lets thank the man for his service and giving his life for his country. But who would even remember that far back, and the Great grandson never knew the man. So just how and why was this medal presented? Did someone know a Congressman who wanted to make news? It just doesn't make sense. I know there have been hundreds of hero's who gave their life and never received an award, other than Purple Heart. Lorin

I have a job.
I work, and they pay me.
I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
So, here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their Bottom----doing drugs while I work.
Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? I guess we could call the program "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!
Pass this along if you agree, or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though. Something has to change in this country .. AND SOON! Oh, and also, all politicians have to pass a urine test too!

I remember my Grandma telling me about life on the farm during WWII. Everything was saved and turned in for recycle in support of the war effort. The only then they got was a higher Fuel ration because they operated a dairy farm.

Your history lesson for the day Robert E Lee was married to George Washington's granddaughter. He worked with Grant during the Mexican-American war and became ...a decorated war hero defending this country He believed slavery was a great evil and his wife broke the law by teaching slaves to read and write. After the civil war he worked with Andrew Johnson's program of reconstruction. He became very popular with the northern states and the Barracks at West Point were named in his honor in 1962. He was a great man who served this country his entire life in some form or other. His memorial is now being called a blight. No American military veteran should be treated as such. People keep yelling, "You can't change history." Sadly you can. This is no better than book burnings. ISIS tried rewriting history by destroying historical artifacts. Is that really who we want to emulate? As they tear down this "blight" keep these few historical facts in your mind. No military veteran and highly decorated war hero should ever be treated as such. This is not Iraq and that is not a statue of Sadam. IN ADDITION:: Lee was also very torn about the prospect of the South leaving the Union. His wife's grandfather George Washington was a huge influence on him. He believed that ultimately, states rights trumped the federal government and chose to lead the Southern army. His estate, Arlington, near Washington DC was his home and while away fighting the war, the federal government demanded that Lee himself pay his taxes in person. He sent his wife but the money was not accepted from a woman. When he could not pay the taxes, the government began burying dead Union soldiers on his land. The government is still burying people there today. It is now called Arlington National Cemetery. DO THEY WANT TO TEAR THAT UP ALSO ??

If you ever visited the battle fields in Virginia before 1978 and went back there after 2006. you would not find any of the uniforms or weapons of the confederate army.

I have seen several versions of tracks for the old Model A Fords. Real innovations for a workhorse. Lorin
