In memorium to them all. I’ve met many of these fine people.
But a little sermon now and you can blast me, but it’s meant well.
There are an awful lot of short lifespans on that list. In some cases, it’s bad luck. Barbara Olsen died on 9/11, for example.
But it’s not all bad luck. I was at a freeper party many years back. I met a lot of nice people but most of the people were smokers and a lot of people looked like they didn’t make the best choices in diet and exercise. A number of people from that party are now prematurely dead.
I understand people who have passion for the country may forget to take care of themselves. And people can make their own choices. But if you’re not taking care of your health, please look down that list and notice the lifespans. We can take care of the country and take care of ourselves.
You’re absolutely right.
