ACTION

My Conservative Campaign Committee team and I attended the Tea Party Express rally for Chris McDaniel in Biloxi Mississippi. We have launched an independent expenditure ad campaign and rallied volunteers to assist our team in making get-out-the-vote phone calls for McDaniel.

Passion, excitement and enthusiasm for McDaniel is high. McDaniel signs decorate many neighborhoods. An attendee at the rally told me that when the taxi driver heard he and his friends were going to the McDaniel rally he drove them for free, refusing to take their money. The taxi driver stayed for the rally. He expressed his frustration to me with the “good-ole-boy-network”. The taxi driver passionately said, “It is time for change”. Locals shared story after story with me about the good-ole-boy-network being used to lord over, abuse and bully the people and businesses. Clearly, the local mantra is “Enough with the good-ole-boy-network! It is time for change!”

I was really encouraged by the enthusiasm, grassroots volunteers standing on street corners waving McDaniel signs and get-out-the-vote efforts of We the (Mississippi) People for Chris McDaniel. Talk about David vs Goliath, the airways are flooded with ads for McDaniel's, long, long time, good-ole-boy, and extremely well-funded GOP establishment opponent.

A young black Obama supporter wandered into the McDaniel rally. He was bright and open to ideas and new information. In a nutshell, he said he voted for Obama because Obama is black and vowed to help the poor. I dispelled that myth with facts. Then, the 21 year old kid dropped a bombshell. He said he owned a landscaping business. I said, “Then why on earth are you a democrat? Man, are you on the wrong side!” He chuckled and we had a great talk.

The young black small business owner was from the hood. He avoided drugs and crime and worked to provide a better life for his family. He had a little college education under his belt as well. He was conservative and did not even know it. I added him to my newsletter list.

I was sitting on a bench in Walmart waiting for Mary to get through the checkout. A sweet elderly white lady sat down beside me. I struck up a conversation. Well, she got on a roll talking about her childhood growing up in Mississippi. She and her best friend would share an ice cream cone. But when it came to telling me her best friend’s race, the elderly white lady became noticeably uncomfortable. She simply did not know the current politically correct term to use for a black person. First she started to say colored, then she began to say black. She cut herself off and said, “My friend was... (then she tapped me on the arm), meaning to say her friend was the same race as me. I thought, “Poor sweet lady. Look how ridiculously cautious of offending political correctness has made us.”

Folks, this is one of the many reasons why we need sane responsible adults running our country again. We desperately need true conservatives like Chris McDaniel in DC.

On our way to the McDaniel rally, we passed a Biloxi restaurant called, “Slap Your Momma” which was one of my late mom's favorite sayings when referring to really good food. “That pound cake was so good it makes you want to slap you momma”, she would say. I had my first seafood gumbo here in Biloxi. Awesome!

Y'all folks in Mississippi sure are friendly. I have never been called sweets and sweetie pie so much in my life. You deserve a refreshing change...a really, really good guy like Chris McDaniel. Vote Tuesday, June 24^th for Chris McDaniel.

Let’s pray for America. 6-23-14          http://anticorruptionact.org/

We pray for Faith and Hope

Father you make us a family, you created us and blessed us with our freedom and liberty to choose our own path and pursuit our happiness, but we fail you; we disobey your laws and committed sins against our brothers. Father you love us so much that you send your beloved son to redeem us from all sins and give us a purpose in life and the rules to gain eternal life. Lord we love you because you are just.  Lord gives us the wisdom and courage to do your will; your principle of submitting to the government is tied with the principle of humility, we are to obey your laws not man’s laws, regardless of what governing officials do. When a government official disobeys God, leading to a corrupt government, they sin and they lose their authority, all subjects of this government are supposed to live in humility and love, following the example of Christ.

Father, we ask for our salvation, today we are more wicked than our forefathers; this government has turned their back on Christianity; Only Jesus can be our unshakeable pillar of strength and save us.

Brothers I hope the Holy Spirit has spoken to you and made you think of our own imperfections. We can’t rely on ourselves but we need heavenly assistance. We must ask our Father, our creator to unify us “humanity” to fight evil, greed, corruption and the enslavers of humans. Father, may our prayers come to your attention, as we are Praying and asking this in the name of Jesus your beloved son. Amen.

I have a warped sense of humor and I love reading oxymorons.  Obama wining the “Nobel Peace Prize” is a very good example of an oxymoron.  So is his “Hope and Change.” Those words did not mean what Americans thought it meant. We thought he told the truth but it’s the same thing every time he opens his mouth; nothing but more lies. I liked what he said in 2008 and to me “Hope and Change” was for all Americans with a guarantee of jobs and changing America for the better. What he has done is destroy “hope,” and the “change” has turned America into something evil. A quote from Ecclesiastes reminds me of Obama: I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind.

Obama and Peace? Not really. His words are filled with hate and deception. He is more of a race monger than a peace maker. The only award he could win is for treason and being a terrorist.  Why did he authorize Holder to sell 5000 automatic weapons to drug cartels that killed Americans and Mexicans? Moving weapons across international borders with the ultimate goal of killing makes that person a terrorist and murderer. I’m speaking about the leader of America and his cohort in crime; Holder and Obama.  Both refuse to say why? That also makes his declaration of a “Transparent government,” another oxymoron. All the weapons supplied to Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood also qualify as terrorism and murder.

There is more much more. The illegal aliens are not coming across the border in a wave, it is a tsunami, fully supported and backed by President Obama. There is more money and support for illegal aliens then there is for America’s Veterans. He refuses to protect Americans from this invasion. These actions are a gross misconduct and negligence on Obama’s job description and the oath he swore to America. He is an endangerment of all Americans and our way of life.

Nobel Peace Prize winner.  I had to say it again, I’m even laughing as I type this, but in reality it is not funny it is the greatest American threat and tragedy perpetrated against the American people. Every time he does something I think of only one award he is qualified to receive;  the WTF award. It appears Obama’s goal is to destroy America and take away all of our freedoms.  If you haven’t been paying attention we are almost there. The DHS, Obama’s private army is ready and waiting.

It is okay to be Muslim. I have Muslim friends but Obama supports Radical Islam and Obama backs them completely. Radical Islam’s goal is to destroy America.   This is very important and must be repeated; Radical Islam’s goal is to destroy America.   Even one of the radical terrorists Obama released said he would see us in New York.  That my friend is not a religion of love and Obama is on their side. His actions verify my words, it is not speculation. Obama is un-American and non-Christian. From Obama’s words it is easy to discern he is against America and hates our way of life; except for the vacations. In simple terms,  he is Anti-American and Anti-Christ.

What is Obama’s real plan for America? This could be what you see happen in the next two years.

I think it is horrible that undocumented aliens must leave their homes in South America and I understand that Holder and Obama are working on a plan so we can just mail welfare and register them all for Obama Care.  Think how easy it will be for all of those illegal aliens to receive more money than Americans on Social Security and those trying to get their VA benefits. Now we can have all South American countries just bill Obama Care for all their needs. Forget those whining Veterans.  All they did was kill innocent people and like Oprah said they are old and marinated in hate so they should just die. We should give bonuses to all the VA administrators for all Veterans’ they were able to eliminate. Somebody just told me the administrators did get a bonus for killing veterans.

And the IRS should receive a bonus for auditing those lying thieving un-American traitors that are members of the Tea Party. They should do more than just audit those Tea Party members. It’s a good thing Obama had Lois Lerner hide those letters.  Just because Obama ordered it and saved America, the Tea Party should just leave him alone.  Obama should receive a medal for what he has done for America.

America has lost its faith and I am so glad Obama has made a point to bring Sharia Law to America. It is time American’s learned the freedom, love and truth of the Muslim Brotherhood. I guarantee you the gays, lesbians and feminists are really going to enjoy Sharia Law. Even our office has created a special prayer room where we can take our prayer rugs five times a day for prayer.

None of this could have been done without President Obama. Praise to Allah for what Obama has done. The Christians are traitors and terrorists and should be eliminated. They want to impeach Obama. Christians need to pay for what they have done. With what Obama has planned the Christians will pay over the next two years and never be a problem to America again. Soon America will be like Libya, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Obama’s plan is moving ahead unhindered. Now that the Brotherhood controls the military and Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security we will not be stopped.  Before the Tea Party or any of the stupid Christians can do anything we will control America. None of this could have been done without the honesty and integrity of Obama and Holder.  

Allah Akbar!!

Thank God, Obama is addressing America’s real problems! Oops, can I still say God? If somebody is offended that I said God I want to let you know how sorry I’m not.  Speaking of offensive, Obama has finally solved one of America’s greatest problems. We needed to solve these pressing issues, and Obama has finally done just that by punishing the Washington Redskins.

The good news is just like Obama had the IRS audit those heathen conspiracy liars, the Tea Party, he had the U.S. Patent Office rid the world of six trademarks belonging to the vulgar and politically incorrect Washington Redskins. That good old patent office, they really know their business and how to keep America honest and free by punishing evil people like the owner of the Washington Redskins. I’m in favor of that because I was also extremely offended. I’m glad they renamed it to just the “Redskins” because I can’t tell you how much the Word Washington offends me.

Can we can speak freely? I think we should eliminate all English words because I can guarantee you that someone will eventually be offended with each word. For example the illegal aliens, I mean undocumented aliens are offended with all the English words.  Just the other day I was in a group of people talking about the illegal aliens at least I think they were; they all spoke in Spanish.  Occasionally they would look at me and laugh. I could understand a little but they became irritated because I would ask questions when I didn’t understand. One on them became exasperated with my constant questions and finally told me that I needed to learn Spanish so I could communicate will Americans. I was a little upset so I called Hillary Clinton to ask for help and she yelled at me, “What difference does it make?” I realized that when she and Obama speak that I actually understand Spanish better than the tricky English words they speak. I guess we should start learning sign language.  Is speaking in sign language offensive?

Now that Obama has confronted this critical and important item maybe he  can use a little time to consider menial items like Benghazi, VA killing Veterans, NSA, DHS taking out Americans, IRS losing emails(so how do they do their job), Obama arming drug cartels and the Muslim Brotherhood, every American left behind, Radical Islam attack on Iraq, and Obama Care-less. Oh, heck, what difference does it really make? Obama made the right decision after this Redskin ordeal. He went golfing.

As a side note the U.S. Patent Office recently accepted some nice trademarks for shirts: Figgas over Niggas (gosh what does that mean?), Kraut Kap, and Dago Swagg among others. Personally I hate being politically correct.  People should be able to say what they want and you have the right to not listen. It’s odd those derogatory words were approved but “Redskins” is evil.  If you don’t like it buy a Cowboy shirt. I wonder if “Cowboy” is offensive. I’m sure it is when the Redskins play them. Obviously, Obama took time from world affairs to have “Redskins” removed. This was definitely more important than helping Iraq’s new democracy. But if he interfered with Iraq it would make his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood mad and you can’t have that. What a waste of time for the leader of the free world; or is it free?

Just think how much Obama has accomplished; we are rid of Redskins, he forced an old white racist to sell his NBA team, and making all those illegal aliens more comfortable than our evil Veterans. What a leader!

Anyway I’m relieved Obama addressed this critical name calling.  I wonder what would have happened in Benghazi, or the Lois Lerner IRS problems, even the massive illegal alien invasion, and the Iraq debacle (unless it was planned), if Obama had done his job as quickly as he did against the horrendous “Redskins.”  Thank God Obama is our president.  Or is that Allah? Sorry, I don’t want to be attacked by the PC Police.

If you think this was bad you should check out my book, “Words That Don’t Offend Liberals.” You can also find it on Amazon.

Yesterday, in part 1 of this 2 part series, I clearly defined Obama as a Muslim and the meaning of his coded message, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

If you missed that article, I would advise you to read it by clicking here before proceeding with THIS article.

Currently, we are aghast at what is transpiring in Iraq as ISIS, runs with brutal barbarism through a country that 4500 members of our military died to liberate and thousands more were wounded in as Obama raises money for the DNC and plays rounds of golf in California and while aghast, we should not be at all surprised.

What we are witnessing is what I have called before…the Obama doctrine and make no mistake; his true legacy will not be compiled in the annals of America rather, in the annals of Islam.

ISIS is the ‘Islamic State of Iraq and Syria’ and they wouldn’t be in any position today to expand their barbaric reach from their roots in Turkey were it not for their AAI…’AMERICAN AGENT of ISLAM’…Barack Hussein Obama and his six year doctrine.

From the time Obama set up shop in our white house, he has categorically aided this caliphate scenario and to hold any hope of change in “fundamentally transforming the United States of America”  as I outlined yesterday, he MUST have a caliphate in place in the Middle East.

Obama told our enemies from his first days in office exactly when he would remove all traces of the United States military from Iraq.

He has done the exact same for our enemies in Afghanistan.

He said Qaddafi must go from Libya and to aid that occurrence, Obama supplied al-Qaeda terrorist “rebels” with weapons.

Obama said Mubarak must go from Egypt and backed the Arab Spring to see that it happened. Once gone from power, Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood and as their defacto agent…AAI (American Agent of Islam) placed THEM into power.

Obama has said that Assad must go from Syria and to help that take place, he has been arming al-Qaeda “rebels” there.

The Obama doctrine has a singular purpose on the world stage…

READ THE FULL PART 2 OF THE WEEKEND EDITION HERE!!!

My nephew and I were talking yesterday about finding help that is dependable and committed to the job that they are offered.. We all know that it takes money to live and therefore people have to be paid for their services. The thing is, it takes more than just money and we are losing that in our country, maybe we even gave it away.

I came up on a farm in North Carolina. We never had a lot and basically every member in my family had to work each day and even had certain jobs that were our responsibility. The house we lived in had a hallway between my three sisters room and mine. Mom would come and call us to get up in the morning, sometime as many as three times. We might continue to lay there but if we heard dad coming to get us, well the sound of his feet made us jump up and almost be dressed by the time he arrived at the hallway. 

Now I am 63 years old. That sense of urgency is still in me. When I am told to do a job I feel I needed to be finished 15 minutes ago. I realize it's more to it than that but the point is we, as parents don't put any urgency in our children anymore.

.I never served in any branch of the military. But the sense of urgency is taught there the same way. We you commander speaks it's time to move. I thank God for those that have served and those that are serving. They are a true blessing to this nation. If we can't afford to give them a raise we should cut our elected officials salary by at least two thirds and give it to them. Maybe our elected officials would learn a little urgency.

One of our biggest problems is the lack of need. If our children or in some cases, all of us, if we want , not need but want something we will borrow the money and get it  We don't even know how to need. 

Let's take education. Today we force our children to go to school, starting at five years old. Can you force a person to learn? Years ago children craved with great desire to be educated. Just to learn or be taught to read. Somebody, because of a burning desire, without even considering money would take on the job of teaching. the classroom would be full and if the children could not come to school they would be upset because of their desire to learn, a great willingness to learn.

Anyone can buy an education, but you can't buy experience. If a man is hungry, he will work. We use to have a lot of work and not much money. Today we have a lot of money and not much work. The problem is that the money is not real.

One day every person will see that. Let's just say you have a thousand dollars in your pocket. At the same time I am broke but I have enough food to last me for a good while. You can't you can get more money, but right now I can't get anymore food. How much is your money worth? Do you think I would see you any of my food at any price?

Every person on the face of this earth is a conservative. All it takes is the right circumstances. If you don't believe it just cut the money flow off and you will see. The liberal mindset only works if you are spending some other person's money or when it's not really effecting you. The liberal mindset has weakened this nation and its people.

You take any family of  six, a man, his wife and four children. You place them on a small farm and give them enough money to start a year. Let them know that they are own their own. Just watch the conservatism grow. Well, we can start with the family in the White House.

If we are truly delirious of correcting to course of this nation, I can tell you how to do it. All you have to do is go to all fifty states, find two small farmers from each state and tell them to run this country like they run their families and farm. By the way you might need a small army to control the spoiled brats that will be crying and fussing about the work they have to do.

Time is a prophet that has never told a lie. We will see as time passes what is real and what is not!   

Green Energy for Dead Vets

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

 Three years before Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki would be forced out of his job because of the veterans who had died under him, he visited the Massachusetts National Cemetery. He wasn't there to see the men and women who had died because of him.

 While vets were dying, Obama and Shinseki had turned their attention to something truly important; seeing to it that all the cemeteries where they were being buried had wind or solar power.

 The Massachusetts National Cemetery was getting a wind turbine so that the dead veterans would have all the sustainable energy they needed.

 A VA press release about the cemetery turbine boasted that "under the leadership of Secretary Eric K. Shinseki... VA is transitioning into a 21st century organization that better serves America’s Veterans."

 Shinseki arrived in person at the dedication ceremony to flip the switch on the cemetery wind turbine.

 “Nationally, VA continues to expand its investment in renewable sources of energy to promote our Nation’s energy independence, save taxpayer dollars, and improve care for our Veterans and their families,” he said.

 The cemetery turbine had cost $533,000. Veterans were dying to save the VA a few hundred dollars. Shinseki had made his order of priorities clear. Green energy boondoggles came first. Improving veteran care came last.

 Acting Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Steve Muro told the crowd, "With one of VA’s first wind turbine projects, the Massachusetts National Cemetery is leading the way in the use of renewable energy while providing the burial benefits that New England Veterans and their families have earned."

 Muro had made the entire macabre spectacle worthy of a Joseph Heller novel. Obama's people had not only killed veterans, they had killed satire.

 When the VA wasn't installing a wind turbine at a cemetery, it was installing solar panels at cemeteries to better serve the dead veterans that it was killing.

 The Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery’s solar panels cost $787,308. According to the press release, the solar panels in the cemetery would "reduce greenhouse gas emissions".

 $742,034 worth of solar panels was put in at the Calverton National Cemetery.  The San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery got an $800,000 solar panel setup. The Riverside National Cemetery got a $1.3 million solar system.

 “We are investing in clean energy and renewable energy projects at our national cemeteries to reduce our environmental footprint,” Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki declared. ”The transition toward these renewable energy sources helps VA continue to be a leading example of going green in the federal government.”

 Vets might be dying at VA facilities, but they would have solar panels and wind turbines over their graves so that Shineski could provide Obama with a leading example of “greenness”.

 The cemeteries may have been where the VA's scandal of shorting care for vets ended, under the shade of solar panels and wind turbines, but it was not where it began. 

The VA scandal began at the Phoenix VA Health Care System where administrators earned pro

As many as 40 veterans had died while waiting for care and 1,715 veterans in the Phoenix VA Health Care System had waited more than 90 days for an appointment. A retired Navy serviceman died of bladder cancer after being put on a 7-month waiting list after blood was found in his urine. He finally received an appointment a week after his death.

 But each and every year, from 2009 to 2011, the Phoenix VA Health Care System put in solar panels. The solar panels at the Carl T. Hayden VA in Phoenix cost $20 million.

 That $20 million could have saved the lives of dying veterans.

In 2009, Obama had signed a Green Energy executive order. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki had announced that "in order to continue providing Veterans with the best health care and benefit services, VA must adapt to climate change."

 Not only did Global Warming have nothing to do with serving veterans, but it got in the way of the VA's central mission. While Shinseki was focused on building solar panels so the sky wouldn't fall, veterans were waiting months to see a doctor.

 At some South Texas facilities vets had to wait 85 days for a primary care appointment and 55 days for a mental health appointment with  "a worst-in-the-nation, 145-day average wait for new patients seeking specialist care".

 One of the vets waiting for a mental health appointment, who suffered from waiting list cheating, committed suicide.

 Meanwhile the South Texas Veterans Health Care System installed a 1.7 MW solar PV system.

 The Amarillo VA Health Care System had the third longest wait times for mental health appointments in the country. Its Thomas E. Creek office complained of a lack of resources. Meanwhile $10 million was spent on solar panels.

 Hawaii has the longest waiting list for veterans with an average of 145 days for an appointment at the Spark M. Matsunaga VA Medical Center.

 Meanwhile it was spending between $1 and $2 million on a 119 KW Solar PV System.

 Veterans at Kansas VAs had to wait more than 90 days. 977 never had appointments scheduled. There were 104 vets on the waiting list at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita.

 But while the Dole Center may not have had time for vets, it did have time to set up solar panels.

 Three mental health administrators at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida were suspended for keeping a waiting list for over 200 vets. Meanwhile the facility had blown between $5 and $10 million on a solar panel system.

 The Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center put 3,000 vets on a phantom waiting list to see a doctor who doesn't see patients.

 Unfortunately its $20.3 million solar setup was all too real.

 The average wait time for new patients at the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center was about 57 days to see a primary care doctor.  But that just gave vets more time to admire its new $1.1 million solar setup.

 The Bay Pines VA Health Care System didn't schedule appointments for 1,000 vets. But it did find the time and money to put in solar panels. The Cheyenne VA Medical Center, which was caught removing vets from the waiting list, had not one, but two, million dollar solar setups.

 The Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center, which was one of three flagged facilities, was part of a $50 million VA solar panel contract.

 Vets couldn't get appointments, but every VA facility was getting solar power, whether it needed it or not.

 The Buffalo VA Medical Center in upstate New York, where winter is the best 8 months of the year, got solar. So did the VA center in the Bronx in New York City. The New York VA solar contracts were part of $7.8 million in solar contracts awarded to one company.

Meanwhile in Southeast Texas, the former associate chief of staff at the VA said that a cost-cutting policy had been implemented under which colonoscopies would only be approved if the patient tested positive in three successive screenings for bloody stools.

 “By the time that you do the colonoscopies on these patients, you went from a stage 1 to a stage 4, which is basically inoperable,” Dr. Richard Krugman said. "That was done because of dollars and cents. For the VA, they have to be bleeding out of their rectum before they would authorize a colonoscopy."

 Everyone has their priorities. Benghazi and the VA scandal happened because the men who died were a low priority compared to solar panels and buying bad art for embassies. The State Department spent millions on art for embassies and mansion renovations, but begrudged the security that would have saved four American lives. Fortunes were spent on solar panels and wind turbines for VA facilities, but veterans died of cancer to save money on a colonoscopy.

 The corrupt obsession with Green Energy doesn't just waste money, it costs lives. The fanaticism of the Global Warmists in the White House led them to disregard the lives of vets because they thought that saving the world with solar panels and wind turbines was more important.

 The VA's Green Management Program Office claimed that it would "keep our promises to Veterans through sustainability." Instead it focused on "Environmental Justice" and "Green Purchasing" at the expense of veterans. Solar panels went up and veterans went down.

 While they were putting in wind and solar at VA facilities and cemeteries, they forgot about the veterans who had served their country and deserved better than to be sacrificed for a solar panel.

In September  of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a  History teacher  at Robinson High School in  Little Rock , did something not  to be  forgotten. 

On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.

'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?' 

She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right  to sit at a desk.'

They  thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.'  'No,' she  said. 'Maybe  it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your  behavior.'
 
 And so,  they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still  no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what  was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started  gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken  all the desks out of her room. The  final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on  the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said,
'Throughout  the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to  earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this  classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'

  
At this  point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened  it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that  classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their  lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been  earned.

Martha  said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did  it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around  the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and  families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to  sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to  be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have  the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
 
By the  way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of  Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of  Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a  WWII POW.
   
Let us  always remember the men and women of our military and the rights they  have won for us.
