Never give up. I'm old. Do you know how easy it would be for me to sit back and say I quit. Chances are I won't live long enough for it to get really bad. Reality is it's not about me. I'm a patriot. I was raised to salute the flag, that pledge of allegiance I made actually means something and that the united States of America is the greatest country on the planet. To sit back and let it fall goes against everything I believe in. My sweet little granddaughter at 10 years old is truly the most innocent loving person I have known in my lifetime. She is so inherently good she doesn't see evil in anyone or anything. She can and will find good in every situation. I cannot/will not let them destroy her and the other innocents like her. I will do whatever is necessary to take my country back! Stand up! Make the commitment! If our fore father's had given up we wouldn't have a country. NEVER back down. You are a patriot!

^This, I served in the military for this country. I came from poverty and now I make 6 figures. I have a great life with a family, a nice house on a lot of land.

It’d be easy for me to go about my life and enjoy the fruits of my labor, but it’s not about me.

I want all kids (not just mine) to have the liberty and freedom to forge their own path. I want them to know prosperity that is achieved by perseverance and self reliance.

Yes, I’ll gladly lay down my life to give them a future, a life full of opportunity that I’ve known.

The reality is these things we’ve all had the privilege of experiencing were made possible by the ones who came before us.

The price of freedom is high (cost reflects value) so high that it takes an entire generation giving their lives in order to have it.

It was earned by the blood of patriots who knew the measure of its worth and we need to accept that the bill is coming due.

Simply put, we’re about to find out what we’re made of, the time is near to lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

God bless you all.

God bless the USA.
