A Stroll Through Time.

As many of you know, I'm not one for celebrating "thankfulness" on social media.  I'm not sure why, but I'm much too cynical for that expression of gratitude.  I have been asked to blog a little more since I haven't done this in months.  That said, I have been collecting many photos throughout history and like a few of my posts in the past, I'm going to share them with you.  America may not always be right and we might not always be lead by the someone that represents our ideology, but what we are is a nation of people that believe in freedom.  So many of our ancestors have suffered through unimaginable peril so the people after them can live their lives as God intended.  That being said, I hope you enjoy these and I hope they mean as much to you as they did to me.  Happy Thanksgiving.
