The flag does not fly because the wind moves past it. The flag flies from the last breath of each military member who has died protecting it. Our soldiers don't fight because they hate what's in front of them...they fight because they love what's behind them.

Very true, im currently in the military and have several reasons im servin. But still people will spit on you saying its wrong and war is no good, true but would they have the freedom of free speech to run around terrorizing fallen soldiers funerals and what not. Im rambling so sorry if it doesn't make any sense I just get upset when I think of what im trying to protect for this country and people don't care

I think anyone mocking or protesting a soldiers funeral should be drawn and quartered. You may not like the mission or the leaders, but you better honor the boys and girls who are out there on the front line everyday facing death, dissmeberment and are away from their loved ones because theyre doing it for you.

Same here man I'd be in jail if i ran into one of them. But that's what they want to happen because there nothing but a bunch of lawyers who want you to cause them trouble

war is human nature, kind of like pottery to hippies....anyway i totally agree with the OP that flag was birthed during a war and the anthem is based on a battle so full salute to the soldiers serving currently and for the ones in the past..

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
