Wish my Grampa was still here to tell me...

“Boy this ain’t number 2 America’s been through a hell of a lot worse...”

He was a big history buff, thanks to him and my Uncle I read things like

Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”

the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
 
and most importantly “the Federalist papers”

I was very disappointed when these books, which are so valuable in what they teach us about our country, we’re glossed over in high school.

I believe that’s part of our problem as a nation, people can sing you a whole album of pop music lyric for lyric but ask them if they can name the first ten amendments in the constitution.

America has been fighting with itself since the first continental congress couldn’t get their act together to pay the army!

Many in the Army wanted to make George Washington the ruler of America for life,
but Washington spoke against it, and it’s one of the great speeches in the history of this nation.

I just wish more people knew about this kind of stuff...

I still believe in what Grampa said about this country, it would just be nice to hear it from someone who had been through what he had been through.

We have seen worse and God willing we will be around to see better.
