Veteran's Day
November 11, 2001

The following was sent to me by a friend a long
time ago. What better time than now, Veteran's Day,
to remember the man who is proud of his country.
Let us all be as proud and teach our children to
pattern their lives after this "Old Geezer"
We need more Americans like him.....
God Bless America and
Thank God for "OLD GEEZERS."

"Old Geezers"

"Geezers" are easy to spot; 
this is slang for an old man. 
But, at sporting events, 
during the playing of the National Anthem, 
they hold their caps over their hearts and 
sing without embarrassment. 
They know the words and believe in them. 
They remember World War I, the Depression, 
World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, 
Normandy and Hitler.
They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, 
The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, 
not to mention Vietnam.

If you bump into a 
"Geezer" on the sidewalk, 
he'll apologize, pass a Geezer on the street, 
he'll nod, or tip his cap to a lady. 
"Geezers" trust strangers and are courtly to women. 
They hold the door for the next person and always 
when walking, make sure the lady is on the inside 
for protection. 
"Geezers" get embarrassed if someone curses in front 
of women and children and they don't like violence 
and filth on TV and in movies.
"Geezers" have moral courage. 
"Geezers" seldom brag unless it's about the 
grandchildren in Little League or music recitals.


This country needs "Geezers" with their decent 
values and common sense.
We need them now more than ever. 
It's the "Geezers" who know our great country 
is protected, not by politicians or police, 
but by the young men and women in the military 
serving their country in foreign lands, 
just as they did, without a thought except to 
do a good job, the best you can and to get 
home to loved ones.

I have been reminded that the "Old Geezers" respect
those who have served and are serving in the military.
Most of them still serve as volunteers in many areas today 
especially the VA Hospitals.
Thanks for the reminder.
