Preface

I have often wondered what it might be like to jot the ramblings of my mind so that others might embark upon this journey here with me.
I would be short-sided to think that I, among countless millions of individuals who endeavor along the course of reason, might have something worthwhile to say,- though in the end it doesn't so much matter either way, as all of us are in some aspect drifting and are grasping for understanding just beyond our reach.
To that end, I have come to the belief, that I would be remissed if I did not leap into the pool of great debate to lay fast my anchor where it seems many have been drifting for far too long now.
I don't know yet that writing will be fun. I hope I find some corollary though through my writing . For me what seems most important in all of this: that I might find clarity of thought and articulate what seems clear to me.

Their Life to Keep Me Free

"I am the color valor, the color vigilance and justice, the color innocence. I am called Old Glory, The Star Spangled Banner, The Stars and Stripes - The American Flag.

I have always marveled at why I'm carried; why men and women have bled and died for me, giving the last full measure of devotion, their life to keep me free.

I have been hoisted on the hilltop; tasted salt upon the seas; soared across the heavens; marched through foreign lands. I have been draped upon the bodies of the brave and noble band.

I am a symbol of our hope in the austere and lonely night; a beacon and a lighthouse and anchor proud and right.

I have sung the song of freedom of the blood of gallantry; I wake to wave these colors of this land that cries for me and I am blessed to stand beside you still those we honor here today."


May all of us who honor our veterans continue to raise the colors valor, vigilance, justice and innocence. May we never fail to forget that for which you have so ably toiled.

God Bless!
