Remembering the start of WWII.
70 years ago tomorrow - WWII broke out when Germany attacked Poland - Sept 1st 1939. Thank you to all you guys n girls who fight for our country & freedom past, present & future.
Shame 'the war to end all wars' WWI wasn't just that.

Armed Nutjobs at Presidential Rally yesterday
I'm all for gun rights, I own several myself. But when some dumbass shows up at a presidential rally carrying an AR-15 style assault rifle, you gotta think that's taking things a little to far.

Gotta imagine those people carrying openly had Secret Services snipers trained on them at all times. I think these people however are going to do more harm for gun ownership than good and should probably have been escorted kindly away from the scene. Then maybe accidentally fall down a few flights of stairs before being released by the Police.

Great way to honor a real hero - RIP Harry

Harry Patch, last British survivor of the WW1 Trench War honored at his funeral today. I was lucky enough to have traveled to Belgium this summer and felt a huge connection to the town Ypres, which is just a few miles away from Paschendale where so many 10's of thousands of British troops died in WW1. Glad the last surviving soldier was honored as the true hero that he was. RIP Harry Patch and all our other troops who fought and died during or after 'The Great War'. So comes the end of an Era in which there are people among us who fought during WW1, this makes me want to learn even more about it.
