Because the...

I love the red, white and blue and I don’t appreciate any disrespect to our flag or any other...
My first encounter with vultures was when I saw them in a movie years back. They were circling over dead Calvary in the hot desert of the Southwest. That impressed me. Not long afterwards, I sighted some circling vultures as a youngster while my friend Frankie and I were hiking the foothills of mountains near our home in Raton.

Everything about the movie was as charming as the first from the story line to character interactions and dynamics. It’s a great family film appropriate for all ages....
