Here’s a history lesson about Robert E. Lee. 1) He was married to George Washinton’s grand daughter. 2)He served with Ulysses Grant during the Mexican American war and became a decorated war hero defending our country. 3) He believed slavery was a great evil. His wife broke the law teaching slaves to read and write. 4)After the Civil War he served with Andrew Johnson’s program of reconstruction. 5) He became very popular with the Northern states and the barracks at West point were named in his honor. 6)He was a patriotic citizen and soldier who served our country his entire life. 7) His memorial is now being called a “blight”. No American military veteran should be treated this way.

Do we really want to emulate ISIS by destroying our historical artifacts? 8) Lee believed that States rights should be more important than the Federal Government. And that is ultimately why he choose to lead the Southern army instead of the Northern. 9) When Lee couldn’t pay his Federal taxes in person because he was serving in the Civil War the Federal Government began burying Union soldiers on his land and they are still doing that today as it is called “Arlington National Cemetary”. 1000s of our fallen soldiers of all political affiliations have been buried on Robert E. LEE’s property which is now a National monument to our fallen veterans. The Arlington Cemetary is also a Robert E. Lee monument. Are we going to tear that down next?

In the background... the Japanese battleship Fuso in 1943. Seldom get a look at regular Japanese sailors from the war... skilled and brave but on the receiving end of unbelievably brutal discipline.

Large shell lying in the forest. Even a century after WWI, many of these still remain.

This is the future liberals want.

In memory of all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Merchant Navy seamen of the United Kingdom who gave their lives in defense of freedom.  Honors.

"Heavenly Father, I know that I am in battle against a supernatural force of evil, and the only way I can be triumphant in this battle is through an even more powerful force. I know that you are that force. Thank you for giving me the wisdom, courage, and strength to be your hands and feet in this world. Thank you for the opportunity to stand between oppression and freedom. Today, I cast down every fear, every thought that doesn’t align with your Word. I ask you today to give me the discernment to identify the strategies of the enemy and the wisdom to respond. Grant me the courage to act based on my training, preparation, and level of skill. In Jesus’ Holy Name I pray. Amen."

- Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
