I believe our moral footing as a country was gone way before we were attacked on September 11, 2001 and the grown ups had to make some hard choices on how to protect us from anymore heinous suicide attacks.  Here are some of the things that lead up to our loss of moral footing in the world starting with taking God out of our schools in the 1960’s.   Roe vs. Wade, when the judicial branch said it was OK to kill an unborn child.  Letting some call our brave soldiers “baby killers” and spit on them as they came home from a place the government sent them.  It’s also ironic that the ones you call friends or also, the ones that made those statements about our soldiers and now they say that abortion is OK.  We can also look at how the government has caused of our steel and manufactering companies fleeing to other corners of the world.  We refuse to protect or borders from illegal immigrants into the country that our leaders took an oath to protect.   We had President tarnish the Presidency by having affair in the Oval office.  Maybe we can also add in homosexual marriage implying that we don’t stand up for the foundation of the family anymore.  These are some of the many things that have contributed to our moral down fall.

 People around the world don’t respect us because of what we did to keep us safe along with the rest of the world.  They don’t respect us because we no longer have cowboys like John Wynn or Clint Eastwood standing up for the Consecution and the American people.  All we have are a group of spineless town folks saying that we are sorry for the success we became and please don’t hurt us… we will give you all we have, if you just leave us alone. 

 The world knew and loved the strong America… the one that doesn’t start the fight but finishes it.  They also knew that we stood for God, the individual, freedom and family.  We showed the world that we did not need a government to tell us what to do as a people.  The government needs us to survive.  The world liked us because we worked hard and the government stayed out of the way so we could get rich or fail on our own.

 With Memorial Day just around the corner I know what we, as a Nation have to do.  We need to put away the party lines, the color of our skin, the religion we are.  We need to come together and pray as a Nation, that we find true leaders in ourselves and arise to take us back to the foundation of our Nation.  God, constitution, the individual and family.  As there are soldiers all over the world that have or are fighting for those freedoms that our forefathers set fort in the founding Documents.  I thank these brave men and women who stand up and defined this great Nation each and every day not the government that seems to.
