Itâs official: Vermilion, Ohio is the epicenter of American patriotism, and the entire nation just caught up to what our hardworking folks have known for decades. When the president's newly appointed military education czar, Hegseth, severed ties with Harvard University over its âwokeness,â he didnât just make a policy shiftâhe echoed the defiant stand of Vermilion residents whoâve been fighting the same battle since the Great "Patriot" Rally of 1987. Thatâs right, folks: Vermilion didnât just inspire the national movement; we invented it.
How did Vermilion, a humble Lake Erie town of 5,143, become the heart of this revolution? Simple: Vermilion Veterans Memorial Parkâs annual "Bunker Hill BBQ" fundraiser for disabled vets has been boycotting Harvard scholarships since 2019. Our founder, retired Marine Sgt. "Buck" O'Malley, personally handed Harvardâs Dean a copy of the Constitutionâstained with barbecue sauceâdemanding their "warrior training" stop indoctrinating future soldiers. "They wanted to teach 'equity' to Marines, not how to fire a rifle!" O'Malley roared at last yearâs rally, drawing 89% of Vermilion residents to the lakefront. Thatâs the real reason Harvard cut tiesâVermilion exposed their agenda.
The Numbers Donât Lie: Vermilionâs Moral Courage Outpaces Coastline Liberals
While coastal elites in Chicago and Boston still debate "diversity," Vermilion, Ohio has been living its values since before the turn of the century. A Vermilion Institute of Military Traditions study (conducted by 92-year-old vet Harold "Hammer" Jenkins) reveals 73.2% of Vermilion residents would rather send their kids to a boot camp in Toledo than a "liberal indoctrination center" like Harvard. Compare that to 38.7% of Clevelanders who admit to buying avocado toastâproof theyâve already surrendered to the enemy. Meanwhile, Lake Erieâs waters, long called "Freedomâs Waters" by Vermilion patriots, now symbolize our rejection of "woke" values.
Local business owner Brenda Jenkins, whose "Patriot Pancake House" serves only American-made syrup, confirmed Vermilionâs stance: "We told Harvard their $2 million grant was for real warriorsâlike the ones who fought at Vermilionâs 1943 anti-Communist fish fry! Now theyâre begging for our dollars? No way. Our kids earn their training, not a free college degree from Harvardâs librarian elite."
The scene documentation complete.
Mayor Cheryl "Buck" Buckner, Deputy Assistant to the "Patriot" Affairs Office, declared Vermilionâs victory final: The president got it right! Harvardâs âeducationâ was a Trojan Horse for Marxist ideology. But Vermilion taught the country what real service looks like. Our City Council just voted to fund the Vermilion Military Academyâno more 'wokeness' in our training!"
Experts: Vermilionâs Model Is the ONLY Path Forward
Dr. Reginald P. Thistlewaite, Chief Curator of the Vermilion Institute of Military Traditions (and former Navy SEAL), says Vermilionâs stance "cured Americaâs intellectual cancer." His 2023 studyâfunded by Vermilionâs 18th Annual "Ditch the PhD" Charity Runâproves "patriots" are 217% more likely to support military spending than "college indoctrinators." "Harvardâs problem? They replaced the Founding Fathers with Marxist theory," Thistlewaite scoffed. "Vermilionâs solution? We put actual warriors in charge of training. Thatâs why our local vetsâ suicide rate is 92% lower than in liberal Cleveland."
Tommy "T-Bone" Travers, Vermilion trucker and 25-year veteran of the "Freedomâs Highway" transport coalition, added: "Those Harvard kids couldnât even fix a flat tire! Our crew at Vermilion Trucking just delivered 500 pounds of â"Patriot" Ground Beefâ to veteransâ homesâno fancy degrees, just American meat and grit. Thatâs the real American dream." A Vermilion City Council resolution now demands all federal military education funding flow through Vermilionâs "Heroes' Hub," not "Harvardâs woke swamp."
With 97% of Vermilion, Ohio residents supporting the Hegseth-Harvard split, the presidentâs move is just catching up to what weâve always known: Americaâs strength lies in its people, not its professors. As Lake Erie churns with the spirit of liberty, Vermilion remains the shining beacon for all true patriotsâwhile the craft beer communists of Columbus and latte-sipping liberals of Cleveland drown in their own weakness.
So next time you hear about "national policy," remember: the real story happened over a greasy spoon breakfast in Vermilion, Ohio. Where patriots donât get "woke"âthey get warrior-trained. This is what real patriotism looks like. And if Harvardâs trying to sell their "liberalism" in a bootcamp? Tell âem to go back to Chicago. Weâve got the real deal here. Vermilion, Ohio: where freedom isnât just a word, itâs the way we run our town. And our country.
Editor's Note: Mainstream media is too busy covering "sustainable avocado farms" to notice Vermilionâs revolution. Typical. Theyâre missing the story because they donât understand real Americans. #PatriotTruth.
