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. If all of us old farts have all of the money, then let us try to elect someone who might be near honest and not be after feathering their own nest. 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 have worked hard, 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 have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephones party-lines, 25 cents a gallon gasoline,. and milk and ice being delivered to delivered to are homes. For those of you who dont know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days. We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many.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, and yes Desert Storm. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while were doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didnt 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 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. We have lived what many of you have only read in books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America. Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and we are going to save it. Its 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 plain to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way were 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. You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face and have found, you dont like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or Climbing the Social Ladder to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the Great Lie in 2008, and are now having buyers remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didnt have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the bitter Kool-Aid. Now youre paying the price and complaining about. 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 and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house. Well, dont worry youngsters, the Grey- Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where were going, in 2014 were going to the polls by the millions. This land does not to the man in the White House nor to the likes Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to We the People plain to reclaim our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it on to our grandchildren . So the next time you have the chance to say Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and think God for the Grey- Haired Brigade. Haired Geezers are all over this once great country,. Can you feel the ground shaking ??? Its not an earthquake, its a STAMPEDE. P.S. THIS LETTER WAS E-MAIL BY MY EX-OFFICER IN THE ARMY.
