PO1 Steve Newton
COL Mikel J. Burroughs What a wonderful day to remember the sacrifices made to make a new nation under God. What patriots! However I am really starting to worry about our future. Will this Country turn socialist? Are there enough patriots left to prevent it? Do we have the will and courage our forefathers did?
Someone on another site said something that struck at my heart. They said: "The message is: Do not worry, you are safe to destroy the Republic at will, there is nothing (as far as the citizens are concerned) to stand in your way."
Is this true?
I apologize. I should learn to stay away from the news. But some of the things that one hears is ---worrisome. I would hope and pray that God our Father protects this Nation. For I am afraid that most of us will not.
