Rfduck, of the Once-Upon-A-Time Ducks, was heard to rail against the unfairness of it all, thusly: “Happy Monday, everyone! Today is National Military Appreciation Day! Lastly, even though I may not agree with the means and reasons, I'd like to give a big shout out to the military troops who volunteer their time and even their lives to ensure that we can keep mamboing!”
1. Name a few of your favorite (or just a few) patriotic songs.
America the Beautiful, Battle Hymn of the Republic, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, The Yanks Are Coming, US Marines Anthem (From the Halls of Montezuma), The Army Song (aka Caissons Song), Stars and Stripes, Yankee Doodle.
2. If you could send 2 songs and 2 albums to each soldier fighting overseas to cheer them up, what would you send?
Songs: Who Let The Dogs Out. Don't Worry, Be Happy. Albums: Black Eyed Peas -- Monkey Business and Coldplay – X&Y. 
Why? Well, few folks can be down in the dumps when they hear either of the two songs, no matter how much they profess to being annoyed by them. The albums are the two hottest albums out there today and the guys and gals in our Armed Forces deserve the best.
3. People in the military fight for our freedom. One of those freedoms is freedom of speech. Name an artist or song that you think is a great example of free speech. George Carlin. No single entertainer has done more for freedom of speech in these united states in the past 40 years, in my obviously not so humble opinion.
In honor of the day, I'm flying my flag proudly. Are you?
