YES!
I've never been known to 'let go of something' that needs to get done. Like I tell the kids, "If you believe in something, you fight your heart out!"
The following announcement by the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars for those of you who do not know or care about such things), is EXACTLY what I've been talking about recently. It's time to stand UP to the indifference, duplicity, ignorance and ungratefulness of those living in America and 'suckling on the teat' of this Land of Plenty while playing politics.
Those with a 'sense of entitlement' ought to be ashamed of themselves, but they're not. Their positions of power and wealth render them impervious to pleas such as mine. The power-brokers in D.C., the liberals, the progressives, the Democrats and those from ACORN and other 'corrupt' organizations need a big time reality check. Their callous indifference to our Warriors' is heinous, especially in these times.
How out of touch are they? Do they not realize that America has as any enemies within it's borders as we have without? I dare them to read this VFW article and prove me wrong about their selfish indifference. Let them enlighten me on this one. BarbaraKSexton@aol.com
My only complaint about the article below is that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FORMER MARINE. THEY ARE ONLY RETIRED! I know because I am married to a RETIRED Tank Commander who still does a 'military tuck', etc, etc....
In this day and age of political instability and wars of horrible consequence, we would all do well to be grateful that "Once a Marine, Always a Marine" is a steadfast tenet of the USMC. Should the day come, Heaven forbid, that 'all hands are needed' for some cataclysmic event, you can BET that every United States Marine on earth will rally to the war cry at once!
So, please, dear ones (she says softly now....) take a moment to read this piece and do whatever you can to help. My brother-in-law does transport to and from V.A. hospitals and other places for his fellow retired Marines. You can do this, too. Or donate money, time, spread the word and do whatever you can do to help our Warriors, wounded and not.
I realize some of you may not have given much attention to those who protect your so-called "civil rights", "human rights" and so forth. And some of you always seem to be the first in line for the hand-outs at taxpayer expense. But there is a new regime in Washington with President Barak Obama and it's time for all of you, too, to get on board and to get involved as an American citizen, especially if you are one.
I fully realize that some reading this do not like the military. But, I think differently. Not only am I GRATEFUL that someone is there selflessly defending me and my loved ones....I also have a special soft-spot in my heart for the United States Marine Corps.
Hey, they finally saw fit to issue my husband a wife.
With tough love,
God Bless you for taking this to heart,
