We've lost another.........

Sad day, we've lost another of the "greatest generation", S/Sgt. Walter D. Ehlers, MOH recipient.

To all those who have served, my thanks.

It makes me mad to see what condition our country is in today. It makes me sad to think about all the sacrificies made by our previous generations for this country, only to be squandered by those with an agenda for it's destruction and the unappreciation for those sacrifices by the current generations. Only worried about the "me" and not the "we".

Like in the end of "Saving Private Ryan",   

Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. I tried to live my life the best that I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I've earned what all of you have done for me.

That's my personal goal, "to earn it". Never forget !

I think, I hope, that there are more of us who believe in the "we" over the "me" and just don't talk about it. America is alive in the hearts of many of my generation. I just don't think most of them know how to accept what is happening to America, or what to do about it. 

RIP SSgt Ehlers
