I'm appalled by how this country views our elderly (one of the prime targets of this type of travesty). I cannot believe that "the Greatest Generation" is in the kind of danger it is now after fighting so hard sixty plus years ago for our freedom and the freedom of the world. This is what they fought AGAINST (as one WWII vet recently told me). Remember all those great pictures of the eighteen-twenty somethings in those sailor and army uniforms from the forties? Remember the Rosie the Riveters and all the pics of them? The nurse in Times Square being kissed by the jubiliant sailor when news of Japan's surrender was announced? The youngest of those fighters are now in their eighties. I wonder if this is how they are being repaid for their heroism...death edicts issued by the liberals who would have protested THAT war, too (and some did).

Great post!

That generation will be sorely missed as one of the greatest IMHO. They went through wars, depression, and did it honorably with the great American values still intact.

Look at what we face today - euthanasia promotion (beginning of selective cleansings), removal of God from all aspects of American life, child molestations/rape/murder, mistreatments. Pornography, drugs, depravity being forced down the throats of the young.

We should be very ashamed of what this generation is up to.
