I’m just a very lucky, dirty old man with a wonderful wife. I have opinions on most everything, but will not force them on anyone other than family and friends. They have to suffer with me as no one else.

Definitions

Here are a few definitions to think about in today’s world. The first one should be an easy one to understand. The definition of a United States American is; a person, who, by birth or choice, lives, works and honors this country, having allegiance to no other country before it.

Allegiance is standing by and for the country of ones choice, upholding its honor and laws in either peace or war.

A patriot is a person who honors, upholds and stands for the country in good or ill times. One who comes forth to protect and defend whenever needed, who has no shame at standing and saluting the flag.

A veteran is one who services their country in the military at ANY TIME, ANYWHERE, in ANY POSITION. Willing to do what they’re told and go where they are sent, to serve their country’s needs.

It seems sad and an irony that we have citizen who are not any of the above. Yet we have people who are not citizens at this time who fall into all of the above categories.

There are a few items not listed in the definitions, very important omissions. There is no mention of religious affiliation, gender or ethnicity. The reason is simple; they have no place. We are a nation of one people, period.

Is it not now time to show the ones living in this country that being a citizen is not enough? We WILL fall if everyone pulls in different directions. The full might and glory of this country has been the ability to join as one and fight all who try to oppress freedom. Our very symbol stands for purity, blood spilled, and honor. The American flag, not the eagle, is that symbol. Each American is that symbol. We stand for the freedom of ALL, not just the privileged few. If we withhold freedom from one, who will be next, you?

Let us stop fighting among ourselves and unite as one. Freedom is never given, only fought for and earned at a high price. Our personal freedoms are at stake here, the freedom to be ones self without harming another. Join the fight for freedom.


Let the only one judge that is above judgment.
