Flag Day June 14
About this image
June 14th is Flag Day in America. It's not a major holiday, but simply a day to take
Pride in our flag and what it has stood for in the last two and half centuries.
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the
Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United
States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in
a blue field, representing a new constellation.”
in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially
establishing June 14 as Flag Day.
I made a short video based on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" to commemorate
Flag Day.
It's on Rumble just click the link to go there.

it allows me to better understand the history of your country. Play fallout with these things in mind is so much better!
Thank you so much for this this <3
Perhaps, you can tell us something about Bastille Day next month.
Maybe I could talk about the bible when posting pictures of Fallout 3/NV, because the themes are covered in these games. ^^
(I just took a look at the original united states flag <3)
Cool video and song .
Thanks.
"Maybe the meaning of "Born in the U.S.A." is the distance between the grim verses and the joyous chorus. It's the space between frustrating facts and fierce pride — the demand to push American reality a bit closer to our ideals." - Steve Inskeep, et al
As your video mentioned, there are still a few things to fix. That's what all the arguments are about. But, the good part is, we have the freedom to argue.
That's a surprising quote from Steve Inskeep. Although, I suspect his definition of "closer to our ideals" is considerably different from mine.
Yes, many things to fix. Freedom to argue? My wife was permanently banned from Twitter BE (before Elon). Many of the people I follow have been permanently banned by youtube and other media for speaking the truth about Covid, for example. There is a reason that I have to use Rumble instead of youtube now. I say, it's time to get really woke. Take a look, we are quickly losing the freedom to argue.
Thinking about that now, it's not much different than it's been for some time. A parallel to a Twitter ban: In the era before television (and the internet), when newspapers and radio were the disseminators of information, if the proverbial "(wo)man in the street" wanted to speak out in a forum that could reach many people and wrote a "letter to the editor" of a newspaper, the editor would decide whether to print it or not. After all, they were in the business of selling newspapers. Of course, if there were a rival newspaper . . .
“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
― Mark Twain
Take for example, Tucker Carlson, formerly of Fox News Channel. On a good night his program, the most popular show on Fox, would have 3M viewers. Since Tucker left Fox News viewership has cratered. Tucker now "airs" his analysis and comment on Twitter. Last night he presented an episode that has already had 80 M views. Eighty million views! And 35,000 people posted comments and discussion about the episode. Newspapers are dead and legacy media including cable is dead.
Eighty million viewers have spoken with their eyes and feet. Don't try to tell me that social media platforms are not the mead halls, the pubs of today. And because of this obvious importance, censorship cannot be tolerated.
on a side note about the subject of yesterday (aliens) got something for you of interest... states least and most likely to survive an alien invasion 😁
As for the film, that's so neat how well you transitioned from Bruce to Fallout. It took me a while to be sure they were different, it was so seamless :) Great job on both! :)
I had never listened closely to the lyrics before. Powerful. They say a lot without saying a lot. That takes a special talent.
Love your Springsteen video. /salute
Just a little video, not a lot to it, but thank you.
