The real heroes are no longer with us!

Hero is a term we throw out like the babies bath water these days. If your in the Military you're a hero. Anything above and beyond normal is now some how heroic. I dare you to ask any living Medal of Honor recipient, and they will tell you they are not heroes. They will tell you they were in a situation that required action. They all rose to the challenge. I believe our real heroes are no longer with us. Our real heroes paid the ultimate price. The American soldier does not fight for a cause, our Country , or Mom and Dad. Each one fights for the man to their left and right. They fight for their brothers in arms. If you think anything different, you are sadly mistaken. I am in noway, shape, or form, discounting any heroic deed that was acknowledged by our Armed Forces.

I think we do our Heroes, like the Fire fighters and Police officers who ran up in the towers to save people they didn't even know a huge disservice by our liberal use of the word Hero. Those who paid ultimate price are truly heroes.

This brings me to what I believe is the most important Presidential election in my 50 years. To become the first Black President in this Country truly takes courage. Colin Powell wouldn't do it. Barrack Obama has put himself, and his family in harms way to become President of these United States, that truly takes courage and intestinal fortitude. Courage is not always measured on the Battle field, or in a POW camp in Vietnam. Eight years of turmoil, War , Poverty , Destruction of our Constitution, Economic Disaster, New Orleans, I could go on and on.

Ask yourself this: Can this Country take four more years of McSame?













Ask an individual who did a heroic deed what separates them from the rest, and I believe you won't get an answer you thought you would.
