""Want to know why America's culture is not — not — going down the drain, why our cultural values are going to start getting BETTER and not WORSE? You must read this excerpt from “The Curse of the Xers” ... “Over the coming years, young Millennials (or Generation Y as some insist on calling them) will be pouring out of their teens and into their twenties to seize control of popular culture away from Xers. "

Our sons are teenagers, so we have a lot of contact with millennials. I'm impressed with many of them, and see young people with their heads on straight and a seriousness of purpose. It makes me hopeful.

I have grandchildren from 9 to 36 -

and one who grew up in my home has just gotten off his second deployment in AFghanistan...

He and his small unit and what they have done - have made their place in history...and are making America proud of them and ALL our soldiers.

THe documentary on this little handful of Sky Soldiers has shown across the country, aired 3 times now on National Geographic, won many awards and is now on the short list for an Oscar. The DVD is now in stores across the country.
This is making a great impact on people - but most particularly - on young people.

(SSGT Sal Giunta, the recipient of the Medal of Honor, is one of this little platoon)

Watch the trailer - and a great clip on Sal -
