About Me

I created this blog so I could give my two cents on topics that are near and dear to me. All presented in a 9 inning format.

Happy Independence Day! (Video Edition)

1st Inning.
A favorite of mine is listening Johnny Cash talk about that ragged old flag...




2nd Inning.
Although Red Skelton was from well before my time, his humor and his love of country crosses all generations...




3rd Inning.
John Wayne talking about his love for America...can't argue a bit about that.




4th Inning.
Benjamin Martin finally gets revenge and helps lead the Continentals to a victory.  Love it when he grabs that flag and turns the troops around to hold the line.




5th Inning.
Elvis singing anything is great but singing 'America the Beautiful' is special.




6th Inning.
It was a special moment that October in 2001 when Lee Greenwood sang 'God Bless the USA' during the World Series.




7th Inning.
One of the great movie speeches that is fitting on Independence Day.




8th Inning.
The Star Spangled Banner is a tough song but Carrie makes it sound amazing!




9th Inning.
While searching for all these videos, I ran across these guys.  A patriotic rock band.  Very cool rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.




Extra Inning.
10th Inning.
Elvis bringing it home with some traditional American themed songs.  Sing it Big E!
