THE TERMITES DESTROY FREEDOM: It's Memorial Day 2015 and as I am preparing for the veterans' program in Crossville, I'm looking at four pictures on my computer. The first one shows a young grieving woman laying on the grave of her husband or friend. The second is of three soldiers saluting the American flag from behind the empty boots, helmut and gun of a departed comrade. The third of a soldier with his hand and head on a pair of empty boots. The fourth, the back of a soldier's head as he salutes a huge American flag spread out in front of him, being held up by a circle of friends. Then I thought of the 800,000 heroes, whose resting places are marked by little white crosses, heroes who died to keep this flag free. Then I thought of the fools who voted for the thankless termites in the White House who are working from within to destroy this priceless freedom, so sacrificially preserved by these patriots.
