Give this man props for keeping his head on a swivel in Jackson and not getting shot although I could see this guy opening up a can of major whoop arse on any thugs who dare try.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Independence Day for some involves, grilling out, time by the pool, and firework shows.
For one local veteran it means showing his love for America by waving his flag on a busy highway. It’s an annual tradition for the WWII Veteran.
Despite the heat, 93-year-old Wesley Byrd waves his American flag all to honor the service and sacrifices of those who fought for our country.
“This is all about celebrating the birth of this country, the very beginning of it and I just can’t help but be proud of it!”
quote:
At 17-years-old he served in the Navy during World War II.
“It’s my country. I want to fight for it.”
Since then, Byrd has proved for years he bleeds red white and blue by showing his patriotism!
“This is our country! We have to keep our country. The only way is to stand up and share the love we have for our country and the people in it.”

We see him and few others there every July 4th and Memorial Day. This is in Flowood not Jackson.

probably because those same guys grew up in the depression so they put all their effort after the war into "giving their kids what they didn't have"
Unfortunately that makes people soft, just like getting fat like me if you don't work out.
