American naturalist, Terry Lynch, has created a new species of red, white and blue Patriotic Orchid appropriately named Americaorchidae patriotus now available on demand via Cafepress.com.
Lynch says people have been trying to cultivate hybrid Patriotic Orchids ever since the Declaration of Independence was signed and America was established, but until recently the technology simply did not exist to create such a species.
The new Patriotic Orchid has white and blue stars in a fluttering mosaic upon its bluish petals and a purple heart centrally located upon a projecting cupular sac which attracts pollinators.
Lynch says that the Patriotic Orchid, like most orchids, is bisexual, given it has both male and female organs in the same flower. Lynch hopes that the new Patriotic Orchid will become a symbol of American pride, technology and achievement in both the arts and sciences and that the general public will embrace Patriotic Orchid merchandise on Flag Day, Veteran's Day, Independence Day and Memorial Day. Lynch is also hoping that that the Patriotic Orchid will be adopted as the official flower of the United States of America through an act of Congress.

Special Alert! Attention all canine lovers! Please help the Lee Family in their efforts to adopt LEX.
LEX is a working dog who was wounded in Iraq. His handler, Cpl. Dustin Lee, was killed when insurgents fired a rocket propelled gernad (RPG) at Dustin and LEX. LEX survived the attack and is now stationed in Albany, Georgia awaiting adoption by the Lee Family. It is the opinion of this author that if LEX continues to work it will cause stress, aggrevate his wound and result in greater pain and suffering as LEX ages. The humane and right course of action would be for the Marine Corps to expedite the adoption of LEX so that he may enjoy the remainder of his life in the love and care of the Lee Family.
Please, if you are a dog lover and a patriot, support the immediated retirement of LEX and his adoption by the Lee Family. Visit the Support Adoption of LEX site and learn how you can help. Thank you!
New Flag/Heart Designs
You are cordially invited to visit the new Byteland Art Gallery which features many new flag and heart designs. These are without a doubt the most impressive and best flag/heart designs upon the Internet. In fact, since 9/11 APA design and marketing concepts have been pirated and copied widely, by everyone from Southern Culture groups to overseas entrepreneurs, such thievery ironically contributing to the spread of the patriotic spirit across America and around the world! Some of our designs have even showed up on products produced in China! In an effort to prevent pirating of designs and slogans, more unique designs have been created and made available to promote patriotism in America and those values which American patriots and citizen who love America hold dear. Of special interest may be the "Letters Home & American Sentiments" series. These designs were all produced using original American flag photos, scripts, slogans and graphics produced by Terry Lynch, founder of APA. Please shop Made in America by patronizing APA designs and associated heart and flag designs at these great emporiums: USA Flags | Support Our Troops | Support America | 4th of July | Classic Hearts | I (Heart) Designs | Religious Themes | Love'n Happy Hearts | Rainbow Hearts Thank you for your patronage!

All patriotic Americans are being urged to Boycott Red China! Please stop buying any and everything made in Red China! This despicable communist nation run by corrupt despots is guilty of untold human rights violations and atrocities to animals! Please, wake up America and stop aiding and abeding the communist Chinese by pledging to never again buy anything knowingly made in Red China until a democracy is established!
In August of 2006 Red China began the brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of dogs! Please, if you don't do anything else, get one of the boycott China bumper stickers below and put it on your vehicle. If millions of Americans will pass the word and do this one thing we really can make a difference! Thank you for caring!

American military installations around the country have been closing and consolidating their resources. In the process cherished memories and values are gradually being lost and eroded. Recently I had the upsetting experience of learning that my family had been forgotten with respect to my father's burial site. I read in Anniston Star reports that the letters had been sent out by the Army Corps of Engineers with regard to the disposition of the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery. Yet my mother or other family members had not been contacted with respect to this matter. (See: Cemetery proposal for fort concerns veterans by Russ Henderson and Fort authority plotting more space for cemetery by Richard Raeke both articles published in the Anniston Star.
In fact the Joint Powers Authority wants to rename Fort McClellan by changing its name to just McClellan. I believe this would dishonor all who are buried upon this hallowed ground and who did service at Fort McCellan. I urge everyone who is concerned about this matter to write their representatives Sen. Richard Shelby, Sen. Jeff Sessions and Governor Don Siegleman to maintain the name of Fort McClellan ; that this property should be incorporated as a separate and new city; that this property should be administered by elected representatives; that this property should not be over-developed by private contractors and profiteers; that the military cemetery at Fort McClellan should be expanded into a military park area of 50-100 acres; that all undeveloped property and/or appropriate land on Fort McClellan should be considered for designation as wild life sanctuary and/or preserve area and that the Joint Powers Authority should be replaced by an elected body to represent Fort McClellan as a city. TAL 6 April 2000 Addendum 14 April 2000
In the process of insuring that my father and family would not be forgotten again, that the 367 families who have loved ones interred at Fort McClellan would not be forgotten, that they and other patriotic Americans would have a collective voice, I have established the American Patriots Association.
It is my goal that the American Patriots Association will function as a not-for-profit corporation. Establishing a historical marker at the site of the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery is a first endeavor. I urge everyone who is concerned about this issue to contact me. I understand from the Alabama Historical Association that a historical highway marker will cost between $1,350.00 to $1,695.00. Anyone who wants to contribute funds to help pay for this historical marker may be assured that the funds will be properly applied toward that purchase and are urged to give their support. Also I appreciate suggestions with respect to the text to be placed upon the marker. Generally it will be designed to appropriately honor and respect those interred at the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery and Fort McClellan proper.
The American Patriots Association will also work to promote patriotism in these United States of America in general. This will include having an Internet presence and working to network with other patriotic Americans. All patriotic Americans will be encouraged to express their feelings of patriotism in their own way. This may be through display of the American flag, celebrating national holidays or participating in civic groups and organizations.
The American Patriots Association is not itself a political organization. Nor is it a religious organization. It is open to all people regardless of their political or religious beliefs and/or associations. Also the APA will not discriminate against anyone based upon their race, religion, ethnic or national origins, sexual orientation, mental or physical impairment or disability or other reasons whatsoever. However we will only foster those ideals and values which are considered the expression of patriotism as relates to being a patriotic citizen of these United States of America.
Toward this end the American Patriots Association is hereby established this 14 Day of April in the year of our Lord 2000.

Founder and President of APA

This is copy of letter sent to Alabama senators and persons concerned with the issue of what to do about the cemetery at Ft. McClellan. This letter may be sited by anyone who wants to expand and preserve this cemetery to honor our soldier forefathers.
This letter urges that the area where Lt. Col. Leonard P. Lynch is interred be established as a historic site and renamed Fort McClellan Military Cemetery.
This letter urges that the name Fort McClellan be retained. The name of the area on the Joint Powers Authority Home Page has already been changed to just "McClellan." Is this an attempt to rewrite history so that a hundred years from now people will not even remember that the U.S. Army ever had a fort in the area? You be the judge.
Please read this letter and reply if you would like to establish a historical site and marker at the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery to honor our soldier fathers interred in that hallow ground and the tremendous historical significance of Fort McClellan.
On 1 August 2000 letter was sent to President Clinton asking that Fort Mc Clellan Military Cemetery be proclaimed a national monument and historic site. Please support this effort by writing to the President. You may also use the White House On-line Form to write the President.. Thank you.
APA is needs your support to erect a historical marker. I hope and pray all patriotic Americas who read this letter will help in this effort! We must not let the memories of our patriotic fathers and their loved ones fade away!
This essay tells what it means to be an American patriot in the context of the founding of the American Patriots Association. You are invited to join APA today!
What do gray bats and the JPA's reuse proposal for Fort McClellan Military Cemetery have in common?
The American Patriots Association is an advocate of nonviolence and promotes the civil rights and liberties of all people regardless of race, religion or national origin. Many groups which refer to themselves as "patriots" are really X-patriot groups given the X-rated nature of their doctrines. Such groups often are exclusionary in nature and promote hatred, violence, criminal activity or antigovernment sentiment in the extreme. This is an insult and slander of truly patriotic groups, including the U.S. military, the U.S. government and such organizations as the American Patriots Association. In order to enable journalists, clergy, civil rights advocates and others to make a clear distinction, it is urged that the term X-patriot be used to designate such anti-American groups. Because the Web sites of these X-patriot groups often promote hatred, violence, criminal activity or antigovernment activity in the extreme they are not suitable for viewing by either children or adults. It is hoped by using this designation people will be able to filter out the filth, trash, pestilence and propaganda these X-patriot groups are pandering to our children.

Further ResearchFort McClellan Home Page This site has an very good review of Fort McClellan's history Anniston Star Archives Search the Anniston Star for articles. This is a great way to keep track of what is happening with the reuse of Fort McClellan. Suggested keywords are: McClellan, JPA, defense, army, commission, pentagon, justice, mp, training, center, school, reuse, development, etc. Joint Powers Authority Home Page This is the transition board to which the Department of Defense has given authority with respect to reuse of Fort McClellan properties. Basically the JPA board is a small group people who represent the City of Anniston, Calhoun County and the State of Alabama. It seems to enjoy meeting behind closed doors and doesn't even give all its commissioners the right to vote! I find that quite odd. What is the big secret? What, if anything, are they trying to hide? Should not commissioners who represent the people always meet in public? The JPA also employs a small staff with salaries ranging for $25,000/yr. for the secretary to $57,000/yr. for the executive director. Their budget runs something like $988,994.00 in tax payer dollars for a 15 month period. And Gene Stedham, their chairman, says his primary goal is to bring more jobs and tax dollars to the Fort McClellan area. Hummm.... sounds to me like that means future budgets will be going up, up, up with a similar increase in salaries. Since all this money comes out of the tax payers pockets via state and federal grants, I figure the JPA is working for me and you and everyone else who pays their salary. Therefore it would be reasonable to urge them through letters and phone calls to preserve the area while still working to boost the economy. You may contact the JPA at P.O. Box 5327, Fort McClellan AL 36205. Phone: (256) 236-2011 Fax: (256) 236-2020 or via e-mail at informationservices@mcclellan-jpa.com. Jobs are important but so are things like parks, wildlife preserves, botanical gardens and preserving the military history of the area. When the JPA changes the name of the area by taking off the word "Fort," it is like saying they want to forget the Army and all the soldiers who ever were stationed in the area. Of course that may not be entirely true. After all there are military staffers in their employee. So why would they do such a crazy thing as rename the area? I don't pretend to read anyone's mind. However I do make this recommendation to the JPA, who are, after all, working in part for me: keep the name Fort McClellan and work to incorporate the area into a separate and new city; invite retired military people to come live and work in the area; focus on high technology type businesses and industry when planning for reuse; and for God's sake preserve the beautiful landscape and keep the Fort McClellan Military Cemetery a hallowed ground for soldiers and their immediate families only. If the JPA does all these things I'm sure they will receive a high commendation from both me and the public. Then no one will worry so much, myself included, about the bigger hole in our pockets from all those taxes following into the area.
