Great Political Banners In Appalachia

Every now and then someone does something which I cannot resist passing on to the general public in the best interests of the country and the world at large.  This is one of those occasions and my cousin, really more like a brother, Jack Terry, is the person who has done it.  Jack and I have known each other since I was born 68 years ago.  You might say we go back a long way.  Our mothers were sisters and we grew up a lot alike, about 5 miles apart on the waters of Beaver Creek in Eastern Kentucky.  Our families actually spent several years, at different times, living in the same house on Steele's Creek near Wayland Kentucky.  Our upbringing was a lot alike and Jack, his brother Johnny, and I spent a lot of time together when we were not in school since we attended school in two different counties.  My parents moved out of that house and store on Steele's Creek in Floyd County in the summer of 1957 just before I turned six and started school.  As we moved out and further up Beaver Creek to Dema in Knott County, on the return trip down the creek, the truck and laborers stopped at the place Jack's parents had been living in and picked up a load of their house plunder and hauled it to the building we were moving away from.

Jack became career Army and later career Army Corps of Engineers and is now retired as am I.  He lives in a very rural part of Lawrence County Kentucky and recently sent me photos of two political banners he has erected on his property beside the state highway.  I love these banners.  They say at least part of what needs to be said about the ongoing political, moral, ethical, and legislative disaster which has been transpiring in America since January 20, 2017.  Here are the photos.  Feel free to share them anywhere you desire on social media or otherwise.  But please give photographer and creator credit to Jack D. Terry.
