24. The only thing I see is capitulation. What we should have done or could have done is ancient history.

Waiting at home to help your children and grand children board the trains is not an acceptable plan. That is not what all of those that came before us who fought, died and sacrifice for. My old man got on a B-17 34 times and flew to Germany so that I could live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, not the land of the distracted and home of the cowed. I will not turn my back on the strength and honor of his generation. That may call for personal sacrifice on my part. So be it. I am not asking anything of you. You can stand up or sit down. It's your call. You are the one that will have to look in the mirror. I live in the sticks way out in Redlandia. But if they do build a concentration camp near me, I will be at the gates to say NO!
