As today 25 January 2021 is the anniversary of the day the state of #Texas adopted the #TexasFlag to fly with the #AmericanFlag, I felt a bit ornery in reference to reviewing the lyrics of the #StarSpangledBannerlyrics in a different manner. While this particular journal blog entry will be as I write it to be, there are those who can understand the various points thereof. I suppose I can joke of the reference to the year I was born in regards of the 1900s, in reference to the age of the adoption year as well.
First I must begin with the fact I dealt with the aggravated discussion which later turned into a difficult conversation because of my choice to salute the graduating solders of the #NationalGuard during a ceremony at #CampMabry in #Austin Texas, which I also was saluting the American Flag along with the other #Army branch of the #ArmedForces flags and ribbons that were carried along the flag pole in conjunction with the veterans who were in the audience because of the location I was standing underneath the tree together with both of my natural born children of which both of them watched and listened as my son James Michael and my daughter Lidia Louise; saw me stand firm, as apparently some others may have as well.
I admit I stood my ground as their biological father stomped over to where I was standing with them to yell and scold for my choice to salute in comparison to placing my hand over my heart, which that discussion I was told there was the misconception of only being able to salute the American Flag when in uniform. While he forgot the fact as to why I fought to join as well as the fact of personally saying my feelings repeatedly about various aspects, I dealt with what I dealt with. It was not the first time of dealing with such in regards of my #patriotism, and it was not the last that day as there were several other discussions and conversations over that time. One such conversation prior to that point had been where I had demanded the meat tags he had tattooed into his flesh to be blacked out because of the 4 different names, social security numbers, date of birth, blood type, and etcetera for dog tags were tattooed in the failed attempt to impress me. Seeing me getting the tattoos I had been having worked on was what had been claimed as to the purposes for the meat tag tattoos, which the other aspects of safety which I instantly saw were the least of his concerns.
I guesstimate there are those who fully understand what ramifications could have occurred if what I had dealt with when standing firm in my stance during each of the conversations, to be absolutely accurate in regards of the various military individuals for the Armed Forces of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica including those of private security branches and division, and the allies to the United States of America. I guesstimate I was not that far off on details as to how many could have been impacted, as well as the safety of in the short and the long term.
An ironic twist in reference to a quote more well known in reference to the landing on the moon, though not in the way to come across as arrogant nor brash: one small step for the males and females of the Armed Forces dependents, one giant leap for all throughout the world?
I shall begin with ironically my first dance performance to the National Anthem words of the Star Spangled Banner had been with the #DenverMileHighClub#BigBand song version with multiple versions of uniform changes known of the look for the Armed Forces are within the costume design and dance routine, in 2009 or 2010 in #SanAntonio Texas at the #UniformFetishBall held the event of at #TempleofFlesh; the last year the event had taken place. I came up with including my makeup design and the finale in the American Flag bikini which is an irony in itself, when one thinks not only about the American Flag draped over soldiers though also the American Flag flying high because of the soldiers past for those in the current time and the future. The original BDUs I had when I was in the Army branch of the United States of America's Armed Forces is what I entered the stage wearing, though knowing the need to remove the tags of, for security purposes. Though you can also see the tattoo I had completed from multiple pictures I had taken when I went SCUBA Diving, because of the clothing outfit I wore.
Now when breaking the lyrics down in a different format for of the Star Spangled Banner, there is the ability to look through various portions. The first since you are seeing this on my website is where I will begin in reference to the technological aspects.
Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
At the twilight's last gleaming
That can be viewed pun intended in reference to the light which comes from a computer screen of whichever type whether a desktop, laptop, tablet, cellphone, and so on which those who enjoy images of the American Flag and other #patriotic symbolism are able to see what they are proud of; of which goes past the twilight hour and into the evening, and so on and so forth.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
When in the reference of the technology aspect the broad stripes which are made from the various aspects of coding in conjunction with the star symbol for in addition to the shapes made depending on the areas of the spaces, though also it is known when you stare at the screen a bit longer there are portions when you literally see stars; though not forgetting when you look up information and images of who you consider as a celebrity in such a status, which the internet capabilities allow you to stream to watch such information/images/videos.
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
When in reference to social media platforms specifically though also in regards of news media organizations, how many times have certain aspects gone the term of viral? The amount of verbage which either would be considered as truth bombs and/or in reference to the term of flame war is rampant of the proof of specific ideologies and beliefs in the day and the night. If it were not for those who fought and fight for such freedoms, the American Flag which is the symbol of still waves as it does throughout the lands as well as throughout the internet.
Oh save us that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave
How many type the word wave and/or have pictures/videos of the ocean waves and/or pictures/video of the American Flag waving and/or etcetera while using free-ish platforms to discuss such and post points of because of those who were brave enough to take opportunities to create whatever business aspects, to allow others to show what level of who they are as much as their comfort zones allow because of those in reference to the influence of the United States of America and who fought/fights for in the Armed Forces and allies of?
American Flag at the #SvpremeScottishRiteMasonLibrary in #WashingtonDC, January 2021
Now in regards of the lyrics in reference to #SCUBADiving and the fact of when I went to the area of the #MatthiasAbyss in the #BermudaTriangle in the #Atlantic area of the ocean, as I surface the images I took of the American Flag waving with the waves in the current of the ocean at the #Vandenberg.
Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
When looking at the pictures I took of the American Flag it seems as though it is twilight hours in the region, though it was daytime despite the view. Those who understand the way light is when in the depths of the ocean know of the points in regards of, and the light shining requirements to get as clear of a picture as possible for anyone who understands any type of photography/videography who would know and understand such whether on land and/or in the water. Though such has not been brought to the attention of many in the traditional form of such, I am proud of the fact I had done so and survived such, as well as I am proud of the fact I can do such again and again safely for such #SCUBA Diving. In such images the ability to see the stripes of the American Flag and the brightness of the stars shining through in the pictures, including when I had to fight a tentacle off of me to be able to surface. The yellow tentacle seen in the corner of the picture is not my spare regulator, I literally had to fight to get back to the surface because of the hug who I lovingly call my Bo-Bo wanting a hug; after I had spent time with the #MerPeople in the area and they gave me a hug, Bo-Bo had wanted one as well. Those who have pet dogs know how they can be when attention is given to another, and the levels which they will go to in order to be paid attention to. Hence why I am able to say and write, of such.
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
In reference to when I posted my pictures I took I am fairly certain some may have had a webcam on their computer showing the ability for certain businesses and groups to watch the responses to seeing the images I took when SCUBA Diving in the area, and possibly even the upset in reference to the fact of me as a female being able to accomplish such, in conjunction with my age and how I look. With my hair color being red, there is an additional point of reference which others may have glared at when their thoughts and words and possibly actions had gone as such; thus when writing and discussing various aspects, the bombs of which words were used for description were/are what they were/are.
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh save us that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
When taking into consideration of those who had been a part of sinking the #GeneralHoytSVandenberg ship had attached the American Flag, I am fairly certain some wondered if the ability to keep the American Flag in place would be possible. The proof of the fact such is still there even though only a few months after the initial sinking of the Vandenberg, was/is seen in the pictures I had taken when I initially went on my first SCUBA Dive in that area of the ocean. You also can see the American Flag waving, along with the current of the ocean; and that particular ship had many individuals who were saved because of being in the region the ship was sent to, both for the United States of America and her allies.
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave
The words of the land of the free refers to the ones who are no longer bound by their physical beings to freely be able to roam around as per wanted, in comparison to the the other aspects of what some would wish to be considered as free in reference to the ocean and the oceanic waters throughout the earth. In regards of the home of the brave, yes many who not only SCUBA Dive though also enjoy snorkeling and/or boating feel more at home in the areas of the oceanic waters in comparison to dealing with certain portions in regards of those on the land. Those of the #CoastGuard#USCG, #MarineCorps#USMC, and #Navy#USN I am sure they understand more-so than those who have not ever had a longer amount of time near or on the waters; just as SCUBA Divers, snorkelers, free divers, and surfers feel an ease when they are among the waves of the oceanic waters even if in reference to simply visiting a beach area.
By full technicalities because of my SCUBA dives there should not ever be any issue or problem for me to ever visit any coastline of any area with a natural body of water, nor should there ever be a charge to me for any aspect involving my going to visit such locations when any think about such realities. I at my leisure should have full access to be able to visit such locations to ensure the safety and sanctity of the maintenance, correct? 100% correct.
The only cost to me in such, should be my time to look around in comparison to getting the ability to. In the #Mason collage below I include a picture of a female SCUBA Diver with a male SCUBA Diver practicing drills in the same collage to show the size difference between Bo-Bo's tentacle as he was retracting after I educated him compared to what a spare regulator looks as for the hose, for an immediate comparison to see for those who do not SCUBA Dive and/or have not been around SCUBA Dive equipment. The color of Bo-Bo's tentacle being vividly seen at the depth levels which the red and the blue color of the American Flag are not seen which is much deeper than the depth level which the female and male SCUBA Divers are working on their drills in #Huntsville#Quarry in Texas, give an additional comparison to review as well as a few others those with oceanic knowledge/understanding as well as SCUBA Diving knowledge/understanding to review. In reference to the SCUBA Divers who were training at that time, I was around 6 feet away from them for that picture to be taken for an additional reference point to Bo-Bo's tentacle seen retracting which is the same distance for that picture.
As the Star Spangled Banner is known more on land in reference to the #RevolutionaryWar and such writings of the historical events of those times and the purposes for such to continue onward through to today, I felt since the aspects of the need for the clarification of how such can be more understood in reference to the technological aspects, scientific aspects, of which both have to do with SCUBA Diving portions of life on earth. There are those with in depth training who of which may have additional comments and/or questions, of course my contact form, email, and phone to speak with are available to schedule such. If there are those who would be interested in discussing consultant aspects, the same in reference of such portions to review various aspects.
I had been brave enough to SCUBA Dive the area once before safely to live and survive I am just as brave, courageous, and capable to do such again and again.
Additionally in reference to the National Anthem of the Star Spangled Banner to the points in regards of who I proudly supported and still support the Presidency of in regards of POTUS45 Donald Trump along with #FLOTUS Melania Trump, there are aspects which the lyrics can be noticed for the times of the candidacy running times in conjunction with those who also voted for the election into office with #VPOTUS48 Mike Pence and #SLOTUS Karen Pence in 2016 as well as 2020.
Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
How many had been inspired by the 2015 pre-election as well as the 2016 election in combination with the pre-election time of 2019 with the 2020 election in reference to Ms. Melania being able to legally immigrate to the United States of America to become the FLOTUS, after an extensive modeling career? How many were inspired by Ms. Karen's time in the Armed Forces and what she had done to assist veterans, active duty, national guard, and reservists of the United States of America? How many were inspired by what they saw in reference to the businesses run by Donald Trump prior to election, to move forward? How many were inspired to review various government aspects in regards of Mike Pence, to move forward? How many became more involved with making sure to research to know more about the governing systems and the military for the United States of America, because they ran and continued onward? How many have been proud to consider such a time to be alive during, and the ability to see so much change in such a quick amount of time?
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
How many have been encouraged to step forward into the political spectrum to assist with regulations, just as how many were inspired to open their own businesses though especially veteran owned and veteran run with veteran employees? Whether the rallies were in the day or night hours, how many looked upon the American Flag wherever they were to see the illumination from such? How many had to explain as to why their view points were as such in each area, to bring forward the open discussion for such changes to occur from the awareness? The American Flag still stands for what was initially begun to bring forward the necessary changes for the future aspects and despite the portions in reference to the time when, those times are different than now; and far better, when you truthfully think about the living conditions during those times compared to now with what is available.
How many dealt with the various descriptions of others' opinions, and then again in reference to the flame war sorts of aspects; though also in regards of those who continued to have open minded discussions, leaving name calling out? Yet the proof of what is still there is the fact the POTUS45 will always be in history as POTUS45, just as VPOTUS 48 will always be in history as VPOTUS48. FLOTUS Melania Trump will always be in history as FLOTUS Melania Trump, just as SLOTUS Karen Pence will always be in history as SLOTUS Karen Pence. The history of what occurred during the elections from 2015 through to the current time and onward, will always be in the history of for the future; just as the First and Second Families, will always have such associations of what occurred and what was done for the positive movement forward for the United States of America and where possible in the world.
Oh save us that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave
Then in regards of the National Anthem which those who enjoy singing such which has been also for each active duty, national guard, reservist, and veteran who has been proud to don the uniform of whichever branch and/or division of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, law enforcement, fire department, and/or EMS still rings true to this day as it will continue to. Those who have been brave to stand up for the beliefs and rights to be assisted towards the betterment of, will be known throughout history forward. Despite certain tries to remove certain aspects of online portions, such is stored in various electronic locations no matter what some wish they could say as truth; just as they have for decades previously, as servers for technology despite being cleaned there is always a way to find the information because of the amount of servers needed in all sorts of areas and ways. As the portions of technology have continued progressing just as life on earth has, so too will such fossils be able to be found just as others have been unearthed by a different type of archeologist.
