Like many Americans I will be attending Memorial Day observances next week. I know for many Vets like myself it has special meaning because of the vows we took to defend our constitution--from all enemies both forgien and domestic. I will be going to Arlington. As this time of rememberance approaches one can see very clearly the very liberties "the greatest generation" fought for are in grave peril. We have a memorial cross at a veterans park the ACLU is suing to remove, have a dept of Homeland Security going after war heroes, and we have a house speaker who does'nt even know what to say. It can be very discouraging to dwell on some of this, however, I choose to think of things this way---I remember words I have read on a veterans memorial that say: "Our Liberties we will defend...Our Honor we will uphold" Yes, we STILL have "IT". The spirit of Liberty still lives in the hearts of brave Americans-a great proof of that were all the "TEA" parties. Brave free Americans had the courage to SHOW up,STEP up, and SPEAK up!!!!!! I will see many rows of white crosses next week. Even as I write this the emotions are coming. The brave men and women who made the ultamte sacrifice for our liberty --I know--have not done so in vain. Not as long as there are Americans who will continue to make sure that this nation will still be land of the FREE and the home of tghe BRAVE!!!
