THIS is the country of my birth. I got no other one to go to.

THIS is the country where I was taught, it was your DUTY to serve your country, and I did that, Gladly and without remorse for any of my actions.

THIS is the land of my fathers (Mojave), where they fought ALL invaders. Now, we are being invaded, socially, politically, theologically (even if mine does not match your’s - the theology of the enemy is at opposition to both of our’s).

THIS is the land we give to our sons and our daughters, as we pass into time. Leaving it in the trashheap does not honor our fathers, and the manner in which they left it for us.

I served. I love this nation, enough to NOT pass into time silently, but if I must by ‘standing on the Line’, because I KNOW what this country once was, and I KNOW what this country CAN BE AGAIN, even if falling, while we clean out the corruption, from the trashheap!!

better, a patriot supports his country all the time, and supports his government when they deserve it.
