Taking off to the time share for a week. Just relax and rejuvenate and put the problems of deficits, crumbling foreign relations, bad European economies, middle east turmoil and Chinese agression temporarily out of mind. Instead, I suggest that all take this Memorial Day weekend to reflect on what is and has been good about our country. How people came here and started with nothing to work and build successful lives and families. How are Founding Fathers Gave us liberty and freedom and a Constitution that allows this nation to grow and develop. How we correct our problems like slavery when thousands and thousands gave their lives in the Civil War to bring freedom and citizenship to those oppressed. How we as a nation rallied in 1918 and again in 1941 to save the entire world in the two great wars. How we take care of our neighbors in times of disaster both here and abroad. We are the most generous nation in the history of the world. How through invention and technology we have gone beyond all imagination to better the lives of all.
Let us take this Memorial Day to vow to bring this nation back to the intention of our forefathers and to the greatness we were. Back from an entitlement society to a ""by my own bootstraps mentality." We must vow to elect leaders who will follow the constitution, put American back on course and not pander to special interest minorities seeking votes. Vow to find these leaders. Vow to elect them. Vow to hold them accountable. Vow to be informed. When being informed by our media, vow to seek the truth. Happy Memorial Day and may God bless us all! ----Grandpa Gordon
