The first thing I see when I look out my window is my flag of the United States of America blowing in the breeze. Often, I will sit and gaze at the flag - great focus for thinking. These are my musings and ramblings, and, on occasion, rants... I am unapologetic in my support of our military, our country and my devotion to God. I will honor them and pay tribute to them here.
Along the side bar you will find tributes to Oregon's fallen warriors.

Quotes ~ James Madison on Readiness
"How could a readiness for war in time of peace be safely prohibited,
unless we could prohibit, in like manner,
the preparations and establishments of every hostile nation?"
--James Madison
So, now we know why the President and the Senate killed the F-22 program
The F-22 ain't dead yet, but it IS on life support. The House voted funds for additional F-22s and there's the House/Senate Defense Bill reconciliation process to come. I'm not all that hopeful, but I AM mindful of that quote about people who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This smacks of the early 1930s all over again.
