Hope for the Future

I get frustrated with all the bad news circulating. The "screw the US" mentality preached around the world and by our domestic media. The UN gun ban crap that is scheduled to hit us around July 4. The lack of citizenship or respect of our younger generation, brainwashed by "education." Well, at least I can tame some of that last statement.

Yesterday, while at our Memorial Day service, the youth far outnumbered us older folks. With several hundred people in attendance, I'd guess the under-30 crowd was about 65% of the group, and the under-21 group at about 30%.

When our main speaker asked for veterans to stand, I was shocked at the number of young faces standing proudly along with their older comrades-in-arms from wars dating back to World War II.

And it gave me hope. Hope that this younger generation isn't lost. Hope that there is a core of men and women who will stand up for this country, our Constitution, and the ideals that molded us into a great nation.
