O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

The Third Division in Korea, Audie Murphy joins in the narration
From Vietnam to present, our war veterans have gone and fought in their engagements, and many have questioned our motives in going. Some rightly point to the CIA, but they are not the problem. Part of the problem is that we are not engaging in such a way as to going in quickly to win, it is in the staying after we have decimated the enemy or accomplished the mission. In Desert Storm we stopped short of our objective to invade Iraq, and rid Saddam Hussein then. In the meanwhile a new fundamentalist Islamic threat arose, attacking America, and the White House and Congress refused to accept the realities of the new threat. As if by ignoring it, it would go away. If you have a problem with America's going to war, look no further than Congress and the White House. There is no excuse to stay any longer than we have to in order to win if we are not going to require War Reparations, such as upon Iraq's Oil Industry, as is our moral right and duty to do for liberation. Our first global war of liberation was in 1898 with the Spanish-American War, when we fought Spain and liberated Cuba and the Philippines. And there is no excuse to start illegal wars, such as Obama did in Libya, and to entirely escape any Constitutional Accountability and Impeachment because of the color of his skin and a D label to his political Party affiliation.
The Central Intelligence Agency is an Agency. It, as an Agency, exists as a means of accomplishing the requests of the White House and others in the Federal Government who come to them and say, "Do this."
Once we understand how that works, we understand the military-industrial complex and our involvements around the world on the espionage, military surgical action, and war level...and we know who to blame. The White House and Congress, even if they are motivated and given ideas to put forward to the Agency to do by lobbyists and special interest cronies and the like.
The sacrifice for freedom and the desire to do the right thing does not ill reflect on our servicemen and servicewomen, even though the drug addict Obama oft despises them except as props to help him in the polls...but the fact that we have allowed an alleged illegal alien into the US Presidency to usurp our freedoms, and our living servicemen (particularly the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their immediate subordinates) have no inclination or moral fortitude to do anything about it as he seeks to end the Republic of the United States, is a yellow and manure stain on the memory of those who have fought and died to keep us free.
Tyranny is coming bit by bit as our elected officials give away our national sovereignty bit by bit to the unelected (often foreign) officials and entities, whether by Treaties, corrupt and nefarious legislation, or other means.
We need allies, true allies of freedom and liberty, allies who also take every word of the United States Constitution seriously who will also stand with and join us in doing what they can in their own spheres of influence to help by use of reason and persuasive intelligent positions on the issues, expose Obama for the fraud he is, and by doing so, honor the memories of the fallen veterans of war and those who live(d) into the peace beyond. We are called not only to preserve the present, but to ensure the future is also free for those generations who take it up after we are gone. It is a national effort, not just something left to a squad here and a company there. Let this be a true Memorial, and let us never forget. And may we also give thanks to GOD in and through Christ Jesus, who can instruct us, guide us, teach us, and mend our every flaw. Amen.
