Are we old geezers? Hmmm, just read on.
The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net
worth 47 times
greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an
analysis of census
data released Monday.
They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers,and in
some cases dinosaurs.
Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been
retired for some
time.
We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what
they once were.
We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old
together.
In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us
to lead America
into the technological age.
We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there
are a few
things you need to remember before completely writing us off.
We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The
Pledge of
Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the
uniform of
our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't
fight for the Socialist
States of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave." We wore
different uniforms but carried the same flag.
We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America the
Beautiful by
heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we
sing.
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least
one good fight left
in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and
now we are going to save
it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us.
We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and
domestic, and that is an
oath we plan to keep.
There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our
founders, there is no way
we are going to remain silent.
It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the
Democratic Congress.
You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype
and Lies."
Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's
remorse. With all the
education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the
lies and instead drank the
'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs,
lost mortgages,
higher taxes and less freedom.
This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with
the Torch of Liberty.
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here and in 2016
we are going to
take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but
we get to where
we're going and in 2016 we're going to the polls by the millions.
This land does not belong to the man in the White House. It belongs to
"We the People"
and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom.
We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing
it along to our
grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of
Allegiance, stand up,
put your hand over your heart, honor our country and thank God for the
old geezers of the
"Gray-Haired Brigade."
Footnote:
This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will
circulate this to other
Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county.
Can you feel the ground shaking???
It's not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE.
You and I are Members, don't Delete, just read and pass it on.
