I am a proud American. I served in the active Army and continue to serve as an officer in the Guard. My brothers and sisters in arms before me wrote a blank check to the American people, in and up to the amount of their lives to give people the rights we hold so dear. We’re we the people are still in charge, and shall continue to live and prosper as a people free from the threat of tyranny.
Yet we are so quick to give the government the ability to take away all of those freedoms if they so chose too! And we would not have the means to keep it from happening!
What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
