Most of our ancestors came to America for freedom of one kind or another. Our Bill of Rights guarantees many of these Freedoms and the Constitution expanded and enumerated these Rights and Freedoms.
Where our parents and many of our generation fought to preserve those Freedoms, there seems to be a proliferation of unhappy people and complainers in our country.
I was thinking about this while I watched an overpaid quarterback kneel during the National Anthem. I was going to say how this made me feel, but instead, I thought about my time in Vietnam. I am not referring to myself, but about the soldiers and Marines I served with who never had the chance to come home and enjoy the Freedoms all Americans are entitled to, simply because they are Americans.
Perhaps America will refocus during the future. We do have the freedom to become what our dreams allow us to believe we can become.
