Always Remember

I get emotional when thinking about this great country of ours. A country of law and equality for all people. America has always been great and will continue to be as long as its people stand up for its guiding principles. The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and division of power has served us well over the years.

I grew up during WWII. It was different then. People were kinder and more united in winning. Everyone worked in the war effort. On coming home from school I got out my little red wagon and walked the neighborhood collecting newspaper, scrap metal, rubber bands, anything that could be recycled. Many children helped in this way.

Income taxes were high, as much as 80 to 90 percent on the very rich. I heard no complaints, our country was focused and united. Factories ran 24/7 and my dad was the lead machinist in one of them. He would work 10 hours and then get called back at 3am to help with problems. He didn’t complain, he loved this country.

Now, we don’t need another war to unite us. We just need to remember our roots, and what the founding fathers wanted for us. Greed is out-of-control. Some think they are entitled more than others.

But, I am betting there are still plenty people of faith and love of country to unite us under the principles of constitutional law that made and keeps America great. Pray for our country.
