My latest phone background.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Another phone background. This one made from one of the T-shirts I'm getting from Grunt Style. I just resized it and trimmed it to width, then lengthened it and filled with color on top and bottom.

The 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army based in Oklahoma, changed their original shoulder sleeve insignia approved in August 1924, to a thunderbird in 1939. No one knows why. ;)  I have an idea what the reason may have been, but can't be sure.
