Hat tip to my friend and veteran Rick Ch...(I have three great friends, 1st name Rick, last name begins with C). This is a true story, happened in our great country, and absolutely could happen again.
A well-regulated milita...
A very gripping, suspenseful 11 minutes.

Subject: The battle of Athens Tennessee Video
This helps to clarify the need for the Second Amendment; let us pray we will never need such a response to government tyranny.
Little known American Historical Event:
This event took place in Athens, TN in 1946. It was an armed revolt on American soil by WWII veterans. This is a very sobering video to say the least, and is taken from a TV movie about the event (you will recognize some of the actors).
At he end of the clip ( 11:40 mark) there are pictures of some of the veterans who participated in this event, some additional facts and a picture of the historical marker set up in Athens to commemorate the incident.
What you see in the video is Hollywood but the event itself was real.
