The USPS announced they are releasing several new stamps in 2025.  They have a set just for our favorite topic.  You guessed it.  They are commemorating the 250 anniversary of our nation's fight for independence. 
Dr. Joseph Warren, in his last letter to his mother, "Where danger is, dear mother, there must your son be... I will set [America] free or die".

Our cause is just . . . our country will be grateful - George Rogers Clark

"This country has been made by the Timothy Murphys, the men in the ranks. Conditions here called for qualities of heart and hand that Tim Murphy had in abundance. Our histories should tell us more about the men in the ranks, for it was to them, more than to the generals that we were indebted for our military victories." -  Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as New York Governor, 1929, at the dedication of the memorial to Murphy

Good stuff! I'm hoping the commemorations throughout the year will lead Americans to us!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

lol.

Read something funny a day or two back in regards to taxes. Something about taxation without representation.  Some dude said taxation with representation doesn't seem to be working out too well either. I better shut up now.

Sad but very true, Scuzzy!
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,  and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

I think someone has a sense of humor putting out stamps for Patriots' Day.

I saw the title of this post and all I could think of was the "Stamp act"... sell a horse, you need a stamp. get married, you need a stamp. buy a deck of cards, you need a stamp.
