The Patriotic Picture Thread!

[2A_Tom]

Some times we are down on today's media and rightfully so.

If you watch these documentaries you will note that a lot of times the filmographer is out in front of the troops.

But he did not need to worry, under fire, he just took cover behind a pair of giant brass ones.

Looks familiar.

Omaha beach.I took some sand for some INGOers.
Museums in the area sell little glass tubes to bring back some sand (empty) since I think it's technically illegal to remove any sand.

That's at Utah Beach, the Higgins memorial.
I might go there next weekend.

It's fairly new (2015) memorial with a full size landing craft.

LOL Great pic Chez! Perfect for this thread.

I love the eagle on the shorts for when the American flag alone is not patriotic enough.

My dad was in the Army and rarely at an Army base, so I was able to see the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds a number of times over the years. To this day, even if only on TV, the missing man formation still chokes me up a bit. Not sure that's what they were in the midst of, but that is a great picture, in any case.

Which looks a lot like what they were flying after the missing man peels off.

I saw that some folks painted their lawn.Well it's more like a field here ...

Not sure how long it lasts if it rains and when the grass grows back.

I do most of my outdoor painting on the grass. Easier to clean up. Cut the grass, and it's gone.

Generally speaking, I'm not okay with people walking on the flag...let alone mowing it.

Watch what you start.

Well, it's not a flag, it's a lawn.
