As many of your readers know, last Sunday, June 29th, the mainstream media decided the hot topic over the weekend was the success of all the “gay pride” parades and events put on to celebrate and honor the seemingly “oppressed” of our dear nation.  And while I’m truly touched at the ‘nobleness’ of my entire country to honor those brave souls and, um, ‘heroes’, who endure such discrimination and hard, hard, oppression, I’m here to inform you that while the rest of the nation ‘celebrated’ these events, there was a group of young ladies who thought it was better to celebrate and honor something, or somebody, else.

Seventy young girls from the American Heritage Girls organization came from as far as Hawaii and Alaska to meet at Arlington National Cemetery to pay honor to our real fallen heroes, and lay a ceremonial wreath at The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. After the ceremony, they then were given special permission to perform in the Memorial Amphitheater.  The seventy-girl choir, who individually studied their parts for two weeks via Internet, and then met for only three hours of rehearsals beforehand, sang  “The Star Spangled Banner” and “America.”

Many blessings and Happy 4th of July!!!
