HOWDY FROM TEXAS!!

[wyldbill]

NAVY veteran, truck driver, PRO-2nd Amend, and recently earned my MA History from UT Texas. What can be more American than black powder and muzzleloaders, huh? Let's have some fun, what'do'ya say??

1975, USPS stamp honoring a Colonial enlisted man wearing a tri-cap with a cannon on his shoulder. G. Washington called him a "one-man army"". Yes, this individual was a real person. His name was, Peter Francisco.

I LOVE American History. Being an American is an ideology.
(USS Midway, Jet Mechanic, E-5, Honorably Discharged and a DAV).

I've known that place well since my childhood and hunted it near the Neches River many many times, My Friend. GOOD TIMES!

NOTE: The underlying quote you've shared under your heading is by T. Roosevelt, correct?

Yes sir, that's Teddy. Part of his speech at the Sorbonne, in Paris.
Probably my favorite quote.

Howdy, Wyldbill,
Welcome from The Woodlands!
I've driven through Palestine lots of times, way up in the Piney Woods.
Lots of pine trees, a nice little town, and then more pine trees.
With your MA in History, you need to share your knowledge with us youngsters.
And stories from your service days are always appreciated!
