The baby boom generation was the last to be taught the values of rugged individualism, risk-taking, courage, bravery, loyalty, and reverence for tradition

Last Saturday I was proud to be present when my son (see name below on tagline)returned from Afghanistan with 30 other Marines.
Have no fear everything you thought used to be great about American still is. This younger generation is everything that the Greatest Generation was.
They will be the ones to take the country back.

Congratulations to you on having that wonderful, heroic son. The military is the last and greatest hope for most of us out here. We know, in any crisis, they will not turn against the American people but will do everything in their power to protect our freedoms. We just do not like our public schools and our culture telling little boys that being male is evil and that they should all be like women to succeed.

Thank your son for me!

As a mother of boys, I see what you see. When raising them, the oldest is 19, my intention was raise them to be good men first and foremost. The men in my family growing up were manly, I only brothers, so being around “men” was normal to me.

I do think a lot of of it comes naturally and it is society that manipulates it.

Thank your son for his service for me.

Some people on FR give up too easily. It’s not the example that your son and many of his generation are setting by their example.

We are in a political fight and it’s a fight that will last many years, most likely more than one generation. But we can’t just resign ourselves that the liberals and socialists have won. The Tea Parties are about people engaging in the direction of this country once again, and I am encouraged that there are finally enough people concerned about the future to stand up against the liberals.
