Here we go, AGAIN!!
Big news over the weekend........ A strung out performer dies....... the media goes crazy!!!
Special presentation during the Grammys...... We've heard this and seen this too many times.
What is the world going to do???? How can we ever survive without this entertainer?
Well........ To quote the entertainer de jour, “We will survive!”
Why will we survive?
We will survive because of the people who died this week whose names didn't make national headlines.
We will survive because of the sacrifices of the 1 percent of Americans who have chosen to serve their Country.
We will survive because of our military personnel. It matters not which branch of service. It matters not where they are stationed. What matters is that they are there willing to lay down their lives for our freedom and our way of life.
It is because of them that we will survive !
Let's spend a bit of time remembering them as the nations main stream media chooses to remember a strung out entertainer.
To America's military personnel whereever you may be THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR SACRIFICE.
