I tell the story all the time when people start whining about 'where is mine' 'what is the government going to do for me' "where I grew up people didn't have insurance and they didn't take food stamps or Welfare; they did for themselves, their families, their neighbors, and their Church and the deed was done in return" — MAJ (Ret) Scott J Kiger

That’s correct. Nowadays it’s either me, me, me, and always who..me. I was brought up as a military kid while dad served his Country in the Korean War and Vietnam. He was wounded in both and eventually retired when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. Today, he just made his 90th Birthday and still lives in Hawaii. Everyone can say what they want to say, but can they live it and be grateful.

Maj Scott Kiger, M.A.S. - Yeah I called him at Hawaii and I’m thankful that he’s still coherent and understands when I talk with him. My sisters in the Island’s helped him celebrate his big 90 years ago old. You know we have never discussed his combat tours in Korea or Vietnam. I just see the results and it’s good enough for me. Thanks Scott.

Many a JG (video link) agree that it’s really the people —not— the government that gets the job done. *Atlas Shrugged* may be fiction but it = loaded with fact.
