Some arrogant rich people find it too noisy living next door the USS Constitution. The nerve of some people just burns me up!
According to the Boston Herald, some residents have complained that the twice daily cannon salutes and the playing of the national anthem are disruptive to their lives. You can read the Boston Herald story here, and here.
Since 1975 the USS Constitution has fired a gun salute at 8AM and played the National Anthem over loud speakers while they raise the national flag and then fire a second salute at sunset when they lower the colors. This is not new and is very predictable. That someone now finds it, “more disruptive to the neighborhood than you might have imagined” is offensive to me!
How galling can these people be? This so rubs me the wrong way.
It’s hard to mourn an entire generation. But for the many people like myself who enjoy history, it is a milestone and opportunity to reflect upon the time period.
I watched “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” on Netflix. Great movie about the Irish Uprising in the early Nineteenth Century. Not for the faint at heart though. Some scenes are very graphic and emotional. Worth checking out.
