With the D-Day commemorations of the 80th Anniversary this week, I was reminded why we fought why we banded together.

Americans fought against suppression and tyranny just as we had in the Revolution, the Civil War and World War II.

We didn’t fight over a Woman eventually overtaken by a soldiers in a horse.

We fought for the rights of our neighbors as well as our selves, we fought for representation in the face of a violent dictator.

We didn’t agree we were the superior race we believed we all should be free.

Stop your belly aching.

Stop your whining.

And band together to repress control.

Enable freedom.

That is what America is, was and always will be.

The land of the free.

Only then can invention and innovation reveals itself.

We started the Industrial Revolution, the technological revolution and won the first person on the moon in the space race.

The land of opportunity and freedom does not follow but fosters and encourages minds to develop and learn without hate or control.

Keep it that way.
