Living in America is an awesome boon. Some of us paid for it, others had parents or more distant ancestors do the work for us. Either way, it’s worth celebrating. While this country has better parts and worse, there’s no law against leaving the less savory states and adding to the future electoral weight of better locations. In my case, by moving from New York to Illinois to Minnesota to Tennessee, I improved my circumstances and the company I keep. The gentleman above is just one of many who populate my America and make it a better place.
That’s my Son Blaise Lane, he is a very unique and extraordinary person for sure….Thanks for posting…
Robert, I know you are so very proud of your son and please always post stuff like this to share with us. Thanks.
Good picture, bad representation of the day. More accurately, “Indian Genocide Day” and the acts of our distant ancestors should be a day of mourning and learning, not celebrating.
RE: oooorgle
If you are going try and promote the day as something other than what it is… a day of giving thanks for what we have, please don’t insult my people even more by calling us Indians, while our history was so utterly destroyed most of us don’t even know the names of our original tribes, we are Native Americans. We are NOT and never were Indian.
I would argue a more accurate label would be “earlier immigrants”.
