As it was in the beginning and now, as it should be, I will live, I will fight, and I will die for God and country…in that order…and no one shall stand in my way…amen.

Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben
Red was a true patriot. Had he lived to see what is happening today, he would have been very disappointed to find out that there are people who want to take God out of this country, and that a small minority are trying to divide this country. Lets hope that this country is still "one nation under God, and indivisible." Sometimes I wonder.
ReplyDeleteVeterans Day
ReplyDeleteI wish I was more proficient with my blog, so that I could post a picture of a soldier or an American flag to honor Veterans Day. Unfortunately, I am still learning and breaking in with the blog. Anyway, I would not be doing this blog in the first place if it were not for our veterans, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I am proud to be a veteran myself, but those who served in combat are far up the military totem pole from me. Today, in an all volunteer military, our young men and women who choose to wear the uniform are the best our society has to offer.
Thank you to all our service members, past and present who have defended and are defending our freedom.
Have a happy Veteran's Day, but don't forget the solumn part of it.

Norm,
ReplyDeleteThanks for remembering Red Skelton. I grew up watching him and remember when he lost his son to leukemia. He was a warm, class act.
PS Thanks for the blog help
