The gold stars on this monument and the sacrifice that has been made for us all was something I wasn\u2019t just going to pass by. This flag pole climb reminded me about EVERYTHING in life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/FS_American_Flag-e1563677117647.png\" alt=\"flag\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In another post, Mr. Raso encourages his fellow Americans to continue to \u201cstep up and do what is right.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t take many, it just takes a determined and convicted few,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe with all my heart and soul there is a wave of patriots in this country growing in strength and confidence each day. While we watch parts of our country fall to mainstream confusion, complacency, and ignorance, there is a few that are willing to climb or stand or do whatever it takes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This story caught my eye, but the way things are, I had to ask Management if Mr. Raso was named on the roles of Navy SEALS. In an impressive turnaround time, they were able to confirm that indeed he is. Bravo Zulu, Mr. Raso.
