My ancestors built this country. I have at least three Mayflower ancestors and many other very early immigrants. I have ancestors who were murdered on their way to church by indian savages. I have ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. I have ancestors who fought in the Civil War. My father fought in WWII, receiving the Silver Star. Many, many of my ancestors had immediate family who fought in American wars. One of my ancestors was wrongly convicted of witchcraft, imprisoned, and had her property confiscated. All of my ancestors were good, intelligent, hardworking farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and statesmen.
MY ANCESTORS “BUILT THIS”!
Don’t be one who says they didn’t, to my face. You would not fare well.
My generosity is all used up. From now on, someone bleeds before I surrender my life, liberty, or property.
My ancestors built this, too. No military after the Civil War in my direct line, but the rest was much the same as yours.
