Memorial Day

Day is Done, Gone the Sun
From the Lakes, From the Hills
From the Sky
All is well, Safely Rest
God is Nigh

Verse from Taps - unofficial lyrics


"For those who died that we might live."  I received an email from a prominent politician this morning with this message and though the message by itself carries special meaning I have to say the message rings hollow when coming from him and most of those in Washington.

The birthright handed to us by those who came before us and fought wars, suffered, and died is being squandered.   By flooding the country with aliens that have no allegiance to the ideas that held this country together we will lose not only our liberty but the ideas that were the wellspring.  By squandering our wealth on peoples and governments around the world rather than keeping it here and leaving our citizens to their own hard earned wealth we are setting up the country for a fall.  By promulgating a police state with multiple levels of security just to protect us from the influx of the before mentioned aliens and our perennial open borders we are losing all those things that made us great and free.   What greater insult to those who sacrificed than to throw away their bequest.

On this this day I do give thanks and remembrance for those brave souls that gave in all our wars and the true honor to them is not to let pass what they fought to preserve.
