The Stars and Stripes Forever Day 2024
Not really big on marches. I studied them in music during my primary school years. While I have always been very patriotic, the parades with marching and such never thrilled me to any noteworthy amount.It's likely due to the fact that I never took up playing some woodwind or brass instrument in the school band. Anyway for all my inherent musicality otherwise I never did much of anything in playing an instrument beyond faking it.
I opted instead for the songs and quiet times of reflecting on The Republic and all we had to offer prior to the criminal democrats assuming power and trying to rob us of our inalienable rights as they do daily.

Today is The Stars and Stripes Forever Day. It is held each May 14th in honor of a song written by the famous conductor and composer, John Philip Sousa. The song is a a patriotic American march written in 1896.
It became the National March of the United States in 1987. I will always take a moment to listen to a Souza piece for it's sheer patriotism and lively cadence.
God Bless America.
