I, like so many Veterans,, feel strongly about the freedom we swore to defend. Yet,, I also see some veterans who fail to truly understand the depth of their oath, and what proceeded them, and how much it cost so many, oh so long ago.
I recall an assignment in a history class in HS that had us research some of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and share our reports with the class. It was a very profound & eye opening thing for this teenager.
Paul Harvey has very eloquently put a lot of it together,, albeit in a condensed form, to where it should be part of every history class in every HS every year.
This video put forth so much, that it's message is powerful.
Sadly,, too many nowadays fail to fully understand our history,, all while claiming their "Rights" and demanding things. I wonder what these very types would be willing to sacrifice for those rights?
Yet,, I also look around, and see a lot of truly good people,, and their appreciation for America, our military & respect the flag. For that,, I feel a pride,, and know that the true independent spirit lives on.
