Old Glory

Welcome to AAPK's Veteran’s Forum. This is a place where veterans can meet, get to know one another better, perhaps swap a story or two, and share any recent information that they have acquired from the Veterans Administration, DoD and Veterans Service Organizations, including but not limited to, DAV, AMVETS, VFW, American Legion, PVA, and MOPH. Another good source of information are branch specific organizations.
We will have a voluntary CHECKING IN topic where you can introduce yourself, years serve and branch or branches of service. Welcome Aboard!

Here's an entirely different reading about the Flag, by Johnny Cash.
It is also very moving.

For those of us who won’t use or view YouTube for obvious reasons (they are a big tech, cancel-culture leftist organization)… here’s one on Rumble to watch

Thanks ! I don’t do YouTube, Facebook, Twitter
Or other similar sites due to the reasons you mentioned. Also I quit buying anything from Carthart. They got woke so I hope that they go broke.

I stopped buying Carhart when the required all employees get the jab!
I liked their old all cotton pocket tee shirts but can't stand their new 60/40 blend shirts. I LOVE the long tail Tee's from Duluth Trading
Not sure how woke Duluth is at least I was able to get some good shirts.

Awesome video, Dale! Great delivery too by this guy. Whenever I'm out and about and see the flag in all of it's waving glory, I always try to take a picture. A few of my most recent ones. 🇺🇲

Dale:
I have quite a few Duluth long T shirts.
I hadn’t heard anything about Duluth Trading Company falling into the mental illness known as “woke”. I also will never buy anything Carhartt again.
Another great product line is Ridgecut available online or in stores, exclusive to Tractor Supply. Their clothes are reasonably priced and built like a tank.
Go woke-go broke. People need to stand up against the “woke” pandemic.
