Miracle Where were you?

40 years ago.... Great achievement, if not THE greatest sporting moment.

And I missed it.. Was captaining a Frers 46 in the 1980 SORC to a second place finish by just a quarter point.... When I called home from Grand Bahama, my mother was the ultimate buzz kill, telling me about the American hockey victory and saying only two hundred people even knew what I was even doing! Yup. Didn't get it at the time, but put it in perspective...
At least we were flying the right colors.

I was watching it with my Dad at home. It was amazing

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I was coming in from playing hockey on the Mother Brook ice with friends, finding out the USA had one and my grandfather had died.
