My Thoughts On This Independence Day 2009

Something we should meditate upon as we celebrate our nation's birthday:



Watching the above video got me to thinking about the state of our commitment to patriotism today. How many of us right now would be brave enough and committed enough to put everything on the line for the sake of the ideals of freedom? How many of us right now are willing today to emulate our Founders and to step outside our comfort zone so that the ideals we claim to hold dear can be upheld and passed to our posterity? We are the heirs of the sacrifices and the dedication of our Founders — and of those patriots who came after them. Today I'm wondering how many Americans are worthy to be rightful heirs.

The rest at Always On Watch.

Precious few their lives and fortunes and even fewer know ANYTHING about sacred honor.

I fear we may find out soon enough. . .
