The time had come to physically apply my intentions. It is one thing to imagine and discuss a circumstance and quite another to place one’s being into the fray. I was ready to become the initiate of my own ideals.
Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
This is a post where you can come to share what’s on your mind and stay for the conversation (and often music offered). The diarist is on independent time (a schedule of their own) and gets to take a nap when he or she needs (or may wander off and show up later).
Just to let you know, it’s a feature, not a bug.

I was standing in my uniform (civilian equivalent to summer attire based on US Army regulations) beside my handmade poster. It was Armed Forces Day on May 21, 2022. I was in the center of town where there are monuments for former US military personal. I used those granite slabs as my backdrop.
This video shows the setting.

I manned my post for 4 hours. I was observed (and photographed) by the Lafayette Co. Sheriff’s Dept., City of Oxford P.D., Mississippi State Police, City council members and F.B.I. But, I had an audience of hundreds at the City car show directly in front of my position.
Have a dynamic morning and make a statement today.
