"It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'."
Andy Dufresne just before escaping prison in Shawshank Redemption.
"S* * * or get off the pot." Melvin Carter waiting behind a driver who's not noticed a red light has turned green.

Why Memorial Day Matters
Each year I devote the Memorial Day weekend issue to my father and all others who gave the ultimate sacrifice. As each year passes, I miss my dad more and
more. I was a young lad when we had to send him back to Heaven. I was just 24 years old.
While Dad didn't die on the battlefield or in a field hospital, his death was directly attributed to his military service. He was a medic in General Bradley's First Army. My dad was captured by the Huns in southern France on
an October day when his unit was overrun.
Typically in battle you get overrun by the enemy when you run out of ammunition. Down below is a link where you can read all about what happened that day when the Nazis rushed down the basement steps of the old farmhouse. My dad was there caring for his wounded and dying comrades.
History Was Taught Back Then
Those that we honor this weekend knew how great America was or was soon to
be. Those that gave their lives in the Revolutionary War understood that the shot heard 'round the world happened because our forefathers were SICK of being ruled by a tyrant.
Once they kicked the king to the curb, our forefathers formed a nation based on God-given rights, not those doled out by some man or woman
who happened to accumulate power over serfs and slaves.
Those that died after the Revolutionary War were taught in school why the USA was great and so different from just about every other nation on Earth. Once the USA was drawn into the fray of the great World War II by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,
millions of young men and women felt so strongly about their love for the USA they rushed to put themselves in harm's way.
They didn't want their rights taken away from them by the tyrant antagonists who formed the core of the Axis alliance.
Would you put your life on the line an hour from now to protect your rights and those of Americans not yet born? If not, can you tell me why?
All those who have died to protect America made it it possible for me to publish this newsletter, say whatever I want to anyone including the government, openly tell you that you probably have been played, and otherwise speak my peace without fear of retribution.
Did you know that in many other countries of the world you can't do the above? If you do in certain nations, you're tortured and killed. How would you like to live each day with a boot on your neck?
How much do you know about world history and
modern-day governments? How many other nations in the world have a Bill of Rights and a profound Constitution delineating as many rights as do we have here in the USA?
I can answer it for you. NO OTHER COUNTRY
This is why my Dad gave his life for the USA.
He's part of an exclusive club of over 1 million other men and women who did the same. The US Civil War, called by many in the South the war of Northern
Aggression, and the great World War II accounted for almost 90 percent of all the USA patriot deaths.
