On this Veterans Day, November 11th, 2009...... I am ashamed. I am ashamed of a President and Commander in Chief who has so little respect for the cream of the country who put their young lives in harm's way to protect the very nation that gave him the office he now occupies.
I am ashamed of a Congress that thinks that God Himself makes appointments with them to ask for advice.
I am ashamed of an entire government that considers the Constitution of the United States to be nothing more than toilet paper that annoyingly just won't go away.
I am ashamed of the citizens of this great nation who are spending their entire selfish lives thinking only of themselves and what they can get for free.
I am ashamed of myself for not supporting our troops more than I do.
I weep with pride when I see military men and women in uniform standing tall and strong with clear eyes filled with purpose.
Somehow my just saying "Thank you for your service.", although heartfelt and sincere, just doesn't convey the emotions that nearly burst my heart.
