Strong Powerful Word From A US Veteran, I Can't Add Anything Further.

Strong powerful word from a US Veteran, I can't add anything further.

As Americans, all we have, all we enjoy , all we take for granted, from something as simple as groceries, to something as complex as civil liberties, from the shoes on our feet, access to clean water, our education, our freedom, can be accredited upon two components.

It is the Constitution of the United States that provides us with, what we consider, our basic rights. We can say what we please without fear of incarceration or death. We can peacefully assemble in opposition to our government and not dread violence against us or imprisonment. We are endowed with a free and unrestricted press to provide us with the knowledge of events in our nation. We are free to worship who and how we choose, or not to whatsoever.

We are given our day in court if we are accused of wrongdoing. Our property is free from unwarranted searches or seizure. We are granted counsel if charged with a crime. If convicted, no cruel or unusual punishment can be imposed.

That sacred document was gifted to us by men, with unconscionable foresight, who came centuries before us, yet wished upon us, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They wished for us to live free, and to thrive in a nation built on just that. Freedom

This document, this freedom, the rights and privileges are only made possible if they can be secured. For that security of the Constitution and in turn our rights, we owe to all who served this country.

For it is the men and women in uniform, the veterans and service members who have laid their lives on the line, millions making the ultimate sacrifice, for us to have liberty. They have shed their own blood, endured hellish conditions, abandoned their personal priorities, and fought for us. The trials this nation’s veterans suffered was for those they had never met. Yet every single one of us has them to thank for all we enjoy, every day.

What does it say about us if we fail them. If we ignore the Constitution. If we neglect OUR DUTY as citizens of this nation to stand up against tyranny, to fight back against fascism, if we let what was given to us, without question, in that sacred document, to be nullified and perversed?

Some of us fought for this nation overseas. Some of us must fight for this nation at home as well.

We cannot let that which so much blood was spilled, that which so much thought was given, that which so much was sacrificed for, to simply wither and fade into history.

No!

We must resist. We must fight back. We can’t let our nation down.

For all its faults, we are incredibly fortunate that we live in a land where so many, gave so much, for you and I.
