Thanks to those who dug into the archives and remembered https://www.bucksafa11.org/2015/05/23/memorial-day-message/
Yer gonna pay for that ’cause I was digging, too, through old papers yesterday and found this…
I’m no vietnam hero
But I spent enough time there
To get shot at,shelled and rocketed
Facing down that domino scare
Today there’s hometown danger
So I’m doing what I can
Standing on the border
Proud to be a minuteman.
Proud to be a minuteman
In the minuteman family
We got no times for dominos
We’re protecting our liberty
Some call us vigilantes
They just don’t understand
We’re old school patriotic
It’s a God and Country thing
Born in Tombstone Arizona
Nurtured in New Mexico
Exploded in California
Texas let Congress know
We’re serious about our borders
So they better listen good
Until the borders secure
And they guard our doors
We’ll be doing what they should
Politicians like to change the laws,
They like to monkey with the things that work
They manipulate news and numbers
Like it’s a bureaucratic perk
Those kings and queens of the cubicle
May be in control but they’re out of touch
You get the feeling their double dealing
Won’t leave US with very much
That’s why I’m still a minuteman
Raising hell in a civilized way
Just an ordinary American
Born in the U-S-A
If the elected won’t understand that
We’ll sweep ’em right out the door
At the end of their term, they’ll get to learn
Another meaning of insecure.
I understand some may be thinking I’ve crossed the line in regards to holding to the spirit of the day. This message is not meant to disrespect those we hold in our memories this Memorial Day; it is not intended to detract in any way from honoring those who paid the price for our freedom. It is to remind US we owe them a great debt, one we must not default on for it means we will surely default on our future and share in the delivery of our Nation into great danger, a danger we may not ever recover from.
This danger to our Nation, our future, is palpable. Enemies we know as political leaders, men and women raised up wrong and placed in positions of authority, positions they use to direct their poisonous streams of venomous lies and contempt that mocks the measure of valor we salute today; the examples of valor we should be drawing a deep measure of determination from; the determination needed to defeat this contemptible enemy, these heinous beasts who hide behind scurrilous mendacity born in their Office as they plot every day their efforts to destroy US.
They have no shame, they have no respect for US nor for the sacrifices made by those we remember today. Do not yield to them and do not fear them. Today celebrate the memories of our brave who fought to their last breath. Here’s a reminder…
https://www.legion.org/magazine/101297/six-seconds-live is where I hope you are left facing the elephant. Two Marines, Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter, deserve that much. They died fighting the enemy until the end. All we’re required to do is apply pressure to the politicians until they do right. The re-authorization of the Patriot Act is not in our best interest. Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter died defending the many things you can roll up in a ball and call the American Way. The American Way developed from the energy of the Constitution. It’s not a stretch to say that’s what they died defending.
Don’t let the elitists kick their sacrifice to the curb. We are, all of US, the Constitution’s gatekeepers.
