A good friend of mine sent this to me, and I think it does a great job in a few minutes of video to show why we are the great nation that we are and why we celebrate Independence Day in the country.

In addition to this great video that I am sharing with you I want to announce a new trend on Twitter I am starting called #GreatAmerican Tuesday. Every Tuesday I encourage all whom are on twitter to put up a tweet with the hashtag #GreatAmerican and the twitter names of those (military, non-military, whomever) that you consider to be truly Great Americans and exemplify all that America stands for.

My very first unit was 2/5 Cavalry and I am very proud to have been a Black Knight. On this day as we celebrate Iraq taking over more security of their country and our soldiers pulling back from the major cities we see that War is War and it is still a dangerous place.

In 2006 I was telling people to not write off Afghanistan because there was very much a war going on there. Today I say the same thing about Iraq. Just because the MSM isn’t telling you about it every night, does not mean it is not happening.
