Greetings fellow Americans,
I'm pleased to be able to claim the title of American. Although my family first came to this great country through Ellis Island in the late 1800's, I have been blessed to grow up in the greatest country this world has known. Like many of you, I am saddened by the current state of affairs resulting from selfish greed and ignorance amongst the governments of our states and cities and particularly at the federal level. I hope enough Americans wake up and let their voices be heard to put a halt to the special interests and insanity that abounds.
I spent most of my life trusting in the goodness of the American people. I served our nation with pride for 20 years in the US Navy. My family has served proudly in all branches of the services for 4 generations, including WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam & the several Middle East campaigns. As I approach the much venerated but sometimes maligned season of the senior citizen, my chest still swells with pride as I say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem. I am honored to be able to say a prayer to my God in public now and again.
I believe it is people like you who come to this forum and ardently stand tall in defense of our Bill of Rights who give me the opportunity to enjoy the blessings of freedom. I've served beside you in our Armed Forces and other civil and community services.
I am honored to be here.
