And Let Us Commit to Preserving the Constitution they Swore to Defend with the Same Commitment They Had
Memorial Day should be a solemn day, where we seriously reflect on all the Americans who have died in service to this nation, from Lexington Green and Concord Bridge to the current conflict with Iran. This should be a day when we set aside differences and unite, as Americans, to remember and honor those who gave “the last full measure of devotion.”
I encourage you to visit your local veterans war memorials and your local veteran’s cemetery and reflect on how young most of them were. They didn’t have a chance to live a full life of relative peace and freedom like the rest of us.
This should be a day when we set-aside politics, so I will refrain from fully articulating the deep anger I feel when I look at the rampant, systemic corruption and outright treason among public officials in this nation (in BOTH major parties). You already know how bad it is, so I don’t feel the need to explain that to you here – so why mention it at all?
I mention it to remind you of what it cost to build and preserve this Constitutional Republic – the cost is written on the headstones and monuments to our war-dead. And when you reflect on that terrible cost, and how today’s corrupt politicians, judges, and government “officials” couldn’t give a damn about any of them, or about the Constitution they swore to defend, and instead violate it with glee and contempt, I hope you walk away with the same cold, simmering rage I do, and I hope you resolve that YOU will pledge your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor in preserving remnants of this Constitutional Republic, and commit to its renewal and restoration.
If you, like me, served in this nation’s military, taking that same oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I hope you will take the time today to remember your oath as you remember our war-dead, and I hope you either renew that oath, or at least silently recommit to living it in word and deed.
They honored their oaths, to the best of their ability, and paid the ultimate price. We owe it to them to preserve that Constitution, and to preserve this Republic, now in its 250th year.
