Friend, did you ever have the opportunity to wish somebody a happy 372nd birthday? Well, you do now. Our cherished National Guard, the first line of America’s defense since pre-colonial days, even before we were called America, was born 372 years ago this Saturday. It had its beginnings in the colonies, when farmers had to drop their plows and pick up muskets to defend their settlements. Of course, when we became a British colony, we had to have defense, and again it was settler/soldiers who vo... Read More

And I’ll be home for Christmas, while some of you may be shipping out. I’m told that maybe 250 of America’s fi... Read More

I’m not that familiar with Kid Rock. I’ve heard of him, of course, and know he’s a rocker from Detroit who has sung some country music. I know he’s a Midwest guy with Midwest values.

After watching the music video, and even without talking to him, I know Kid Rock is a true American patriot. I come from a time when most rock singers sang anti-wa... Read More

Years ago, I sang a terrific song, “Freedom Isn’t Free.” The chorus rings in my memory even now: “Freedom isn’t free, freedom isn’t free
You’ve got to pay the price, you’ve got to sacrifice
For your liberty.” Subsequently, every Fourth of July, every Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day, I go out early in the morning to the vast Veteran’s Cemetery in Westwood, California. I walk alone between hundreds of rows of crosses and markers, covering many acres of rolling green hills. I read the names... Read More
