Happy Veterans Day – Because of Them
My charge for you today is to give a bit of gratitude, a little honor, raise our flag and show a small token of respect for a vet.
Stephen here with the GunLife Coach and Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow veterans out there.
So, why do we celebrate Veterans Day? It’s Because of them, ones you may see on any given day, you pass them on a road, see their tag or in a store, wearing some badge of honor of their service or not?
Really, They look like each and every one of us, they have wives and husbands, children and generations of grandchildren, families of all sorts, shapes and sizes and even some with none.

They work in all types of career fields and jobs across this land, in factories and restaurants wearing a badge, in real estate or sales, anything from blue to white collar jobs they’re among us.
They aren’t really that different from you or but you will find what separates us veterans from the many was an oath that started with “I do solemnly swear” and ended with “So Help Me God!”
Some are even homeless, left with broken bones and broken hearts that don’t seem to mend, lost limbs and fractured families are only some of the scars they’ve been awarded for their service to us.
You might recognize ‘em by the way they carry themselves or how they live & speak and use words like courage, honor, respect and having a (what you may think is odd) but an inseparable brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, coupled with a passion for the cause of our country, they move on successfully with their everyday lives.
But, it’s because of them we can sleep soundly in our beds, go to beaches and barbeques, concerts and churches, hotels and holidays whether you may feel it or not, or believe it or not, it’s because of them.
You See it’s because of all of them current, past and very distant veterans of old from battles and wars since our Independence that we have the ability to take these liberties so freely.
My charge for you today is to give a bit of gratitude, a little honor, raise our flag and show a small token of respect for a vet. it means more than you think, and just remember it’s because of them we are free.
May God Bless you, your family and this great country….
Happy Veterans Day… I’ll see ya next time.

Student Drinking and Drug Abuse on Campus is Over the Top
What kind of society, de facto, condones such reckless behavior?
The senseless loss of five university students in a house fire has stung my community. These were top students, accomplished individuals, and potential leaders.
Someone has got to ask the tough questions right now, while the pain of their loss is intense. In what kind of society do presumably the best and brightest engage in highly questionable activities? An all-night party? Started at what hour? Preceded by what? To end when?
How much alcohol flows? How many drugs are dispensed? Obtained from and by whom? Ingested by whom? How many cigarettes are lit? How many butts wantonly burn down to nothing? What else is lit and smoked?

Foolish Behavior Condoned
The largest and toughest question of all behind these is what kind of society, de facto, condones such foolish and, in too many tragic instances, reckless behavior? Drunk students falling out of windows to their death, engaged in chugging contests until they vomit, on weeknights no less, walking the campus in a state of high lethargy? Being rushed to emergency wards?
Sure, install the proper sprinkler and alarm systems, but acknowledge the ruthless reality that confronts us. Colleges today are the stomping grounds for legions of students who drink and take drugs with abandon. They sit like zombies in morning classes if they can make it out of bed at all. Professors pretend that it is not happening. University administrators accept such behavior as ‘part of the times.’
Such phenomena are more wide sweeping than anyone cares to admit. They are testament to the abandonment of standards, the ‘everything is allowed’ overly permissive culture in which no student is safe.
Break the Silence
If the students who died were among the finest people that communities engender, what does their loss portend for others? And when will responsible adults break the silence about the utter absurdity with which too many students live their lives?
