I am Gib Buckbee. I am an American!


american_flagI am Gib Buckbee.

I am an American!

I am a Veteran!

I am a Patriot!

I am the only son of my Father, Gib Buckbee, who was the only son of his father, Gib Buckbee, who was the second son of his father, Gib Buckbee, who was the forth son of William Buckbee, second son of Elijah Buckbee, as descended from John Buckbee, descended from Elijah Buckbee, descended from John Buckbee, descended from John Buckbee, descended from Richard Buckbee, who first stepped on to this great land, in the year of our Lord, 1630, and who was born in England.

For eleven generations, our family has toiled in this land, with modesty and reverence.

I am three-star SAR, Founders and Patriots, an Eagle Scout and believe in Duty, Honor & Country.

Our ‘Family Motto’, below our ‘Coat of Arms’, reads: “Pro Aris et Focis”, ‘for God and country’.

We are related to King Edward III of England, arrived in these colonies in 1630, with Winthrop, fought in the French & Indian War, The Revolution, The War of 1812, The Civil War, and both World Wars. We were river pilots on the Delaware, had a Black Smith Shop in Buckbee Corners NY, founded the Buckbee Seed Company, served in the US Senate, and founded the Town of Buckbee Wis.

We ran cattle up the Santa Fe Trail, and had shootouts with bad guys, in saloons, to clear the way for others. We created the Buckbee-Mears Corporation, made the famous Buckbee Banjo’s, taught school and wrote Children’s books published by Harper & Brothers, manufactured Soda Pop, and had a guy, named Ed Buckbee, hired by another guy named Wernher Von Braun, involved with the NASA program to walk on the moon!
We founded this country, colonized it, defended it, freed it, fought to keep it whole, industrialized it, educated it, and took it to the moon!
We are this country!

I am this country!

I am Gib Buckbee.

American Patriot
