Dad, although I was born after the great depression and during WWII I have heard it told how you went wherever you could find work, and how you worked for a dollar a week just to keep our family together. Then, just as you was recovering from the depression, you was called to war. You had to go fight to preserve the freedom that other Americans had given to us. You wasn't even home when I was born, but I have read the letters you sent home, and know how proud you was. As I grew up I learned first hand what it meant to be an American. It seemed that you not only worried about whether we had enough to eat, you also worried about our neighbors. I could never understand why you planted so many crops and raised so many animals and then just turned around and gave it away. When I would question you as to why you did it, your reply was always the same. You would always tell me that you hoped I would never know why. Well, Dad, I think now I know, and I am ashamed, because I let you down. You knew that people was supposed to take care of people. You also knew that we was supposed to take care of our country. I remember once, I was wanting to go to town with a friend, and you told me that after the cellar was full of food, and the barn was full of hay and oats there would be time for town. You told me there would always be a town, but we could never be sure that the food would be there. I guess somewhere along lifes road I forgot what you told me. Maybe because you and others like you did your job so well that life was too easy for us. Or maybe we just fell into a trap laid out by our enemies, but either way we have let our morals fill that cellar you once had full of food, and the barn has fallen down years ago. Dad, we have let America go to Hell. We are now a nation that is controlled by a Socialistic Government and special interest groups. We live in a land where the name of our Lord is forbidden to be mentioned in our schools, and our towns are no longer allowed to have the name of God on their buildings. The republic of your day has been changed to a democracy, and those people you once called queers are now called Gays, and they spread their lack of morals to every branch of our society. God isn't allowed In any public place in America, but we can't keep the Gays out because the Law protects them. So you see Dad, I have let you down, and I am glad you aren't here to see what the American people has done to the country you loved so much. You helped make America a country to be proud of, and I am ashamed to say that I didn't keep it that way for your Grandson. I hope you will be able to forgive me.
Your loving son,
Bud

My Dad died in 1967, while I was In Viet-Nam. He was 48 years old, but he always told me that it isn't how long we are here, it is who will miss us when you are gone. And Dad left the cellar full

A lovely tribute Bud. I think we have so often failed to protect freedom and we excuse ourselves by claiming the government with its taxes has forced everyone to work, so the children are taken and placed into daycare to be indoctrinated and programed to comply with the desires of the new world order philosophy. Queers permeate government and the new world order movement, they parade and flaunt their sicklifestyle openly and demand that society applaud them. Satan is the god of this world and the evidence is everywhere. We need to turn around but how. I believe 2 Chronicles 7:14 has the answer. We need to start now.
