We were all at the Tea Parties to say that we want honesty and integrity in our Congress and Senate, and in our White House.  We want to live by the Constitution of the United States.  You know, our congressmen and our senators are elected by we the people.  Why do they get to Washington D.C. and do as they please instead of representing the will of the people?  Why have we allowed them to ignore what we have voted for?  The majority of the people have voted to build a fence along the southern border, but it is only partly finished.  The majority of us have voted and said we want our immigration laws enforced, but the free flow still goes on.  The majority of us (I am NOT included in the majority of this one) have voted against gay marriage, but have been ignored.  If the politicians don’t get what they want from us, if we are even given the opportunity to vote, they kick the issue to the courts.  This is a country of We The People.  I want my country back.

They come from every nook and cranny in America, every big city and tiny berg.  Many join for the college fund benefit, many join because they see the military as a way out of a life not fulfilled or a life to be left behind.  Many join because they want to serve their country, wear the uniform, learn a trade, and dozens of other enticements.  But who cares what the incentive is?  The covenant is still the same,  “I will serve.”

And if you’re thinking that I am probably the type who cries at the sappy commercials on TV showing homecoming soldiers being applauded in the airport,  you would be absolutely right.  If fact, I am standing saluting right now, officers and enlisted all.  To them I say, ” Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
