Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default SILENCE

Silence

About six miles from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944.
Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio," a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since.


The year is 2014 the soloist is a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.

Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse “arrogance” with leadership.
The count is 104,366 dead, brave Americans.

And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and the Middle East that our country is "arrogant"!

HOW MANY FRENCH, DUTCH, ITALIANS, BELGIANS, ARE BURIED ON OUR SOIL... AFTER DEFENDING US AGAINST OUR ENEMIES?

WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE...BUT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!

Patriotic Americans, forward it!
Non-patriotic, delete it!
Most of the protected don't understand it.
DO THINK ABOUT THIS.
THANK YOU! AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR AMERICAN SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN STILL SERVING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!!

"D Day" their was so many dead on the beaches of Normandy "9,387" the smell and fear of diseases forced bulldozers to be brought in to bury the troops in mass graves.
Time passed and the brave young men were disinterred and buried in nearby military cemeteries created for their final rest.

I visited that cemetery a long time ago, early on in my first marriage to a Dutch girl.

The memory has faded somewhat over the intervening six decades, but I do recollect at
being overwhelmed by both the atmosphere and sheer size of the place...very moving to
the point of tears.
