Today
I went to the swap and shop early.
I met a man there with a military hat on.
He told me that he was a twenty-year veteran.
I was glad to meet him,
and thanked him for his fine service.
Then we talked a bit about the Arizona audit.
This is where he told me he was not,
and never would be political.
I was extremely saddened, as he used political
and patriotic interchangeably...
and then went on
to not care...
I said little,
as I did not want to make him angry.
My thought was;
that I am not personally political either,
but I love the truth.
I respect and admire all heroes that stand up
in the face of evil.
I love the constitution from the first word...
to the last. (no changes)
I stand for America
and in God We Trust!
While I respect the point of view of others,
I remind myself, if not them,
that we have the right to have a different opinion
and even speak out loud, here in AMERICA...
because we are FREE,
until we are not!

Saluting the flag of Our Country, and kneeling only to pray to GOD!
