Honor

I was impressed when my son, a military officer, had my wife and I over to a party with many of his peers.  The young people were, by appearance, demeanor, and the words they spoke great representatives of what we would want in our young people.  I felt great knowing these young people were going to be serving our country and maintaining the tradition of honor-able service to our greatest of all, country.  By contrast, I am disgusted with so many who run for public office with career and self interest motives rather than service to our country.  At this point in history, we need people of honor in government service, and I do mean service, rather than self aggrandizement.  Our founding fathers put their lives and fortunes on the line to give us our nation, and I can only hope more people like I saw on that night with our young military people would find their way to our political scene.  -- Enough
