The VFW Memorial Hall in the small town of Burney, California, was packed to the gills; American Legion Post 441 was holding its annual Community Christmas Ham Dinner. Christmas music was playing in the background as friends hugged and told stories to each other about what they had been doing with themselves since last year and what their plans were for the holidays.
Legion members had been preparing the dinner for two days, laboring in a hot kitchen baking potatoes, deserts, and fourteen extra-large gourmet hams. The hall had been decorated with traditional festive colors; the tables had decorative centerpieces. The Burney High School football team was busing the tables. It was a great night, filled with the American spirit of friendship and the season.
Small-town America... Yes, Otis, there are still some things and values left in America that not even this President or his goons can manage to kill.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
