Those who can’t build, destroy what they can.

A guy with a good eye and an accurate rifle should monitor this site and the next time these “kids” swing by on their motorcycles and attempt to desecrate this memorial, place a few well aimed FMJs from a .30-06 right into the engines of their toys.
I will promise you, a long walk home will cure these felonious thugs from what ails them.

What jd said– thank you for posting this video. I admire the way the friends got together and worked as a team to repair the memorial– we need more of that spirit today.

There’s more of this than the controllers care to imagine. There’s a job to do for a neighbor. Let’s figure out what we have to do and do it. With joy in our hearts. No environmental impact statements, no construction permits, no OSHA. They’re untouched, at least in this video, by the governmental beast. They’ll be the saviors of this nation. As we all should be.

There are many, many more good people in the world than bad. The news would have you believe just the opposite. The cure? Turn off the news and step away from social media. Unplug from the bad and plug in to your local neighborhood and community. Your mental health and peace of mind will vastly improve.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
