I Long For the Older Days!!!!!!!
I served with the US Army for nearly fifteen years. Defending/Protecting this nation. At the time I thought it was the greatest nation in the world. Being in so many countries as a military man I had seen plenty of other countries to compare with. It may still be the best but my traveling days have long since stopped. I am seriously wondering where this nation (Under God) is headed. What is going on in America is so disturbing. Today, on a single newscast were stories about a teen being killed in a shootout with police, a man and a women brutalizing and drowning a 4 years girl and a 29 year old teacher (Principles wife) having sex with students.
Man Do I Long For The Older Days. When I was a kid these things were almost completely never heard of. Oh, an occasional murder here and there, yes, but then that was a major, major story. Today it might not even be the opening headline story. I can remember walking to the store late without worrying. Back then we didn't lock doors. You could leave you bicycle out on the lawn at night. The only thing that we worried about was the Russians and they were thousands of miles away. Teens idea of fun was sneaking out with a can of 3.2 beer and smoking a cigarette or parking your car and necking (my personal favorite by the way).
I feel for kids growing up today. I hope we wake up in this naton and start trying to correct our direction. I hope it is not too late!
PEACE!
