I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still exists! And now, someone has put it online for all of us to see. This INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918.
It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, in Iowa. EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MEN!
What a priceless gift from our grandfathers !

I wish our current POTUS and the democrat house had the same love and loyalty to what used to be the United States of America. We are a socialist weak country now, thanks to liberals. The brave men here gave their lives for this country. Today people in this country believe they are entitled to a free ride. Sad.
