The following came to me via a retired Military friend.
_________________________________
This is us

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 Monday.

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
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 worked hard, raised
our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.
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 telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered
to our homes.

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many.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 Vietnam. We can quote The Pledge of
Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the
uniform of our country with pride, and lost many friends on the battlefield.
We didn't 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 same 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 should have read in
history 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 at least one
good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died
for it, and now we are going to save it. It is 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 plan to keep. There
are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders,
there is no way we are 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" from your college professors. You youngsters
need to taste socialism and see evil face to face to understand  you don't
like it after all. You make a lot of noise, 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 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education
we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and
instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.'

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2016
we took back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like,
but we get where we're going, and in 2020 we're driving to the polls again
by the millions.

 So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand
up, put your hand over your heart, honor your country, and thank God for the
old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade."
Footnote:  This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on.  I
will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this still great
country.

Can you feel the ground shaking???  It's not an earthquake, it is a
STAMPEDE.
You and I are Members. Don't Delete. Just Read and Pass it on!!
In God we STILL trust!

God Bless all of you!

MAD AND SENDING TO EVERYONE!


SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS?

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:

Yesterday, December 7, 1941-- a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'

Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'

'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed,
shook their heads sadly and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'

But she had not forgotten. She was right.

I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima.


I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.

But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.

Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'

Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets.

People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be....and He always will be!

Subject: Boomers 1, Generation X Zero
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one", the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with dsl, bsp; light-speed processing .....and," here he paused to take another drink of beer..

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young..... so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little shit, what are yo u doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding.
