Happy Birthday America!
Today as you look from Nome, Alaska to the Everglades, your beautiful land has once again been challenged.
Challenged by an economy that experts build on speculation and not reality.
Tested by environmental disasters that are so incomprehensible, that to see billions and perhaps trillions of gallons of oil on your southern shores must make you weary.
There are men and women too, some active and some that served to protect you. We know how you feel about them, but what about us, your sons and daughters? Yesterday at the market I met a Vietnam Vet and thank him for his service and in protecting my liberties.
He said that he very seldom if ever is thanked and that when he did come home we greeted with spit.
I suspect that's how we are treating you too America!
Today let's make a new resolution to put Old Glory up on our homes, to thank Almighty God for all of the liberties we have and that barring any major disaster, we will have another full calendar year full of many more.
In closing, I take my dusty old hat to those who gave everything for me. They, like the Lord, are with him and will be with us today.
Happy Birthday America!
