Many of us are getting old. We cannot hump 50 pounds for miles and then fight, not like when we were young. What we can do is take risks with far less to lose than our kids have. My top priority is to leave a free country to my kids. If that means I’m not there to watch my grandchildren grow up, I’ll call that a win if they grow up free.
Like you I am getting old. However, I will do whatever I capable of doing and then a little bit more knowing that our children's future is at stake. And maybe it will help even if just a little bit.
What we have traded for youthful vigor are wisdom and experience. And that is worth something. Actually it is worth a lot. Wisdom to know how bad it might get if we fight but also wisdom to know what is to be lost if we don't.
America has been good to me. Maybe now it is time for me to give back a little even if it is from an old fart who can't hump 50 lbs.
