Patriotism | MsUnderestimated

Happy Independence Day, America! What a grateful nation we should be, especially on a day like today. Megyn Kelly had a group of 14 wounded warriors on her show to inspire us all. And to remind us why we are so grateful for the freedoms we have. It is because of men like this that we can celebrate being an American on this beautiful day.

Please visit and contribute what you can to this wonderful organization, Tunnel to Towers Run. The site was down today due to the tremendous response by Megyn’s viewers, but as she did, I urge you to continue to try and access it. If you want, you can also go to the Gary Sinise Foundation and donate there. Gary Sinise, one of the most patriotic Americans I know, is also partnered with the Tunnels to Towers Run organization, along with many others.

Please go, do what you can to help these wounded warriors. They are too humble to ask for it themselves. They need us to step up and make our support known.

And what better way to remind us all of what others have sacrificed so much for than to share with you the story of one such hero, 1st Lt. Travis Manion USMC. Travis was killed by a sniper in Fallujah while trying to help his fellow Marines stop an enemy ambush. The Travis Manion Foundation was created in his honor, and was initially run by his mother Janet, who recently succumbed to her battle with Stage 4 lung cancer. Travis’ sister, Ryan, however picked up the mantle and continues to run the foundation. Chris Wallace interviewed her as this week’s Fox News Sunday “Power Player of the Week.”

From FNS:

I urge you to visit the Foundation website and read all the stories there, watch the videos, and contribute if you can. God bless our warriors who fight and are willing to die for us unconditionally.

h/t Ace of Spades:

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League’s (PIHL) Open Cup state championship took place last Thursday. I know, I know. You don’t care about highschool hockey in Pennsylvania. However, something awesome happened at the game.

…The PA announcer apologized for the lack of a national anthem and asked if anyone would like to volunteer. The entire crowd took him up on that offer.
