Heather and her young son grasp tightly to their memories of a marine. At the end of March, just a few weeks before he was to come back home from his 2nd service in the Middle East which he was a volunteer for, he was shot and killed while on duty. His name was Marc Golczynski. While the funeral was going on his child came up to take the American flag. The look on this young boy's face is something that has become a symbol for soldiers and their families. When a news agency asked him about his father he said, "He was a real hero. He served our country." This soldier's devotion to America left his son without a dad. Even after all that pain his son still wants to be in the military.

This brilliant and smart six years old boy is Hunter Hayden as he performs and sings with the entire first grade the God Bless America during the patriotic show in his school. Watch as he stirs and wakes up America in this song hit from 1984 by Lee Greenwood and inspires new and young generations and even the old ones.

The Fourth of July or the Independence Day of America is a very significant event. The people show their pride and honor by waving American flags or putting them on their entrance gates. But this man is very unique in his own way. He painted a 60 x 30 feet flag on his front yard to show his nationalism. The man who shared with us these wonderful and awesome pictures of his art is Adriatik Gjonbalaj. It took him nine hours and 40 to 50 cans of spray paint to finish the art work. The art is perfectly done as he has been practicing this for the past three years. Got any comments for his fine artwork?

Presiding Officer during the voting process of the House of Representatives, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, stated the stenographer, Dianna Reidy, went up to the podium area beneath where she was standing and asked her if the microphones were on. Mrs. Ros-Lehtinen replied that she didn't know and thought that maybe her chatter with the nearby parliament members was too loud and Mrs. Reidy was coming to alarm her of that fact. Suddenly though, Mrs. Reidy turned around facing the room and indicated in her speech that this is God's work. Even as security officer led out of the room, she rambled on. This came as a shock during a very critical vote on budget of the U.S. The stenographer seemed to be in a confused state as while ranting about the Constitution, Free Masons and God.

President Obama said, "I will sign it immediately. We'll begin reopening our government immediately." He also vowed that as soon as possible, things will get back up and running. Late Wednesday night the Senate brokered bill was passed by the House. This bill will raise the government's debt ceiling as well as fully reopen the government. Though it took long bitter weeks of stalemates, it gave way to frenetic hours of legislative actions on Wednesday. It resulted in being able to address the latest budgetary crisis the federal government has been in. More fights on the budget will certainly come forth, along with more episodes of bi-partisanship, though rare. The Treasury Department had forewarned the nation that on 16 December 2013 we could run out of money and not be able to pay our bills because of our ever growing debt and our borrowing limits. The incredible work of our rapid moving congress hindered this by their hard work to raise our debt ceiling/borrowing limit.

Everyone loves the US flag, even nature! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky." as Hendrix said. Do you?

There are not many details available about this amazing artwork, however, we know for sure that the artist is the man. You are looking at an American flag made fully out of 44 thousand plastic army soldiers. Talking about national pride and some good ol' American devotion. Do you like it?

Bullets zipping by, but this brave Afghan farmer still finds it in his heart to be brave and hydrate the soldier fighting near by. Thank you all who fight for the freedom and equality of all humans alike. Share if you agree.

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'. The Rolling Thunder biker rally during Memorial Day is a classic annual event in Washington DC.

This video is a tribute to all the fallen soldiers who have sacrificed themselves, so we can live in peace. Be a proud American today!

Many of the federal employees work without pay during the extended shutdown, however, the 533 present members of the Congress will still receive their paychecks. Adjustments of Remuneration or Compensation of any member of the Congress are extremely prohibited in the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. The proposed amendment was not approved until 1992 when the group of politicians and numbers of states in America campaigned and promoted it. Although the amendment forbids the Congress to receive increase or decrease on its pay, it also does not allow the members of the Congress to be stranded without pay. The issue? Congress will be benefited in any manner. Is Congress ought to get paid?

"The Star Spangled Banner" was awaited on by crowds at Fenway Park, Boston, as the National Anthem is always expected to be sung at American baseball games. But on this night, James Taylor opened his vocal chords and blurted out "America the Beautiful". Though he is not the first or last celebrity to err in this platform, his excuse was well taken as he was scheduled to sing there later that night during the seventh inning stretch.

General Hassan Firouzabadi of the Iranian Armed forces sent out a warning to his country's arch-enemies. The Chief of Staff of Iran warned Israel & United States that his country is prepared. According to a report by the Fars News Agency on Wednesday, Iran will retaliate and is ready for a "decisive battle" if attacked. General Firouzabadi was quoted by Fars expressing that they are ready to battle "America and the Zionist regime," pertaining to Israel. The General did not end there. He also warned other countries in the region to not be involved in launching an attack targeting Iran from within their territory. He said that if Iran were attacked from any of the American bases from Middle East, they will strike back. He insisted that Iran has no hostile attitude towards the regional states, but Iran will not take things quietly when provoked. The Americans maintain a few military outposts in some countries within the region including Turkey, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and UAE. Gen. Firouzabadi considers the forceful remarks of John Kerry, the US Secretary of State to be mere political bluff. Secretary Kerry stated that if Iran continues to develop its nuclear capabilities, the US is prepared for a military option. Sec. Kerry added that America will do whatever it takes, however, the Iranian general dismisses this statement as just "hot air." Meanwhile, on Tuesday Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated that America and the West must not entertain delusions of going into military action. Leave a comment below
