Whether traveling on foreign soil or in front of a solitary flag pole at home what comes to my mind when I see Old Glory is “Freedom”, too often taken for granted until it is literally taken away? Our men and women in uniform sign on the dotted line, pledging their lives for the defense of freedom. Thank You to all who serve and have served. We owe you a deep debt of gratitude!
Freedom comes from the God who created everything as stated in our nation’s founding documents “all men are created equal by our creator”.
We have the freedom to live a life that pleases God.
We have the freedom to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
We have the freedom to dream big.
We have the freedom to live the American dream.
In times of international competition or military conquest we rally around the flag. Our national identity is the Stars and Stripes where our patriotism is on full display.
Patriotism unites “One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all”.
It is our duty, our responsibility to carry it forward so that everyone enjoys “Freedom”.
I challenge you to visit someone in prison, watch and listen as those doors clang shut, locking you in, effectively curtailing your “Freedom”. You will never forget the sound, the atmosphere, the isolation felt by losing the freedom to move about as you please until those doors open for you.

Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs
For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion.
I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump.
There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience.
My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
