PATRIOTS

Welcome to the Patriots page. This is a project that I have been wanting to do for some time. It never would have been completed without the encouragement and tremendous help of my son Jim, a Vietnam vet. Sharing our views and love of our country, it has become a joint effort. I hope you will visit it often and encourage others to do so too. While it is directed mostly to honor the men and women of our armed forces there are others that we must pay tribute to:

• Our Allies. They have served and sacrificed alongside us.
  
  
• The men and women that worked hard and long to produce the arms and equipment we needed to accomplish our mission, and
  
  
• The members of the Merchant Marine that sacrificed many lives to get that equipment to us.

I have included the three documents that are the foundation of our country. Everyone should be familiar with them as they have made us one of the greatest and freest countries in the world.

NOTE: Some of the material on these pages has been sent to me for inclusion. Where possible I have given credit to the author. I welcome your help in adding items honoring our armed forces and our country.
