Senior
citizens are constantly being criticized
for every conceivable deficiency of the
modern world, real or imaginary.
We know we take responsibility for
all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER,
upon reflection, we would
like to point out that it was NOT
the senior citizens who took:
The
melody
out of music,
The
pride
out of appearance,
The
courtesy
out of driving,
The
romance
out of love,
The
commitment
out of marriage,
The
responsibility
out
of parenthood,
The
togetherness
out of the family,
The
learning
out of education,
The
service
out of patriotism,
The
Golden
Rule
from rulers,
The
nativity
scene out of cities,
The
civility
out of behavior,
The
refinement
out of language,
The
dedication
out of employment,
The
prudence
out of spending,
The
ambition
out of achievement, or,
God
out of government and school.
And
we certainly are NOT
the ones who
eliminated patience
and tolerance
from
personal relationships and
interactions with others!!

And,
we do understand the meaning of patriotism,
and remember those who have fought
and died for our country.
Does
anyone under the age of 50 know
the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner?
Just
look at the Seniors with tears in their
eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand
at attention, on Veterans Day and
our great country's birthday .

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me,
I wouldn't send it back to them,
but I would send it to many more!
Now-
Have I already sent this to you???????
If
so, I'll try not to do it again (for
a while.)
