I want to thank your father for his service to our nation during World War II and the decades following.
We owe so much of our capabilities to these men and women who did what had to be done to make America great.
They understood that America had to persevere ... it is the only hope for a world who desires freedom to be the best it can be, without some politician making every decision for other humans.
My prayer for our nation in these days is that more Americans understand that the World War II generations and those who came before them didn't pass the "can do" gene down through the generations ... it is a desire we must personally cultivate in ourselves while encouraging it in others.
After all, isn't that exactly what America did during the Great Wars? When we deny our heritage by refusing to stand for right, we will squander the best hope for a free world.
