We are the generation that stood with our hands over our hearts facing the American Flag in the classroom and recited the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the school day.

We are the generation of fathers and family members who sacrificed their lives for others around the world.

We are the generation that respected the police that walked the streets and we are the generation that knew that small crimes, even like breaking a window, would not go unpunished.

We are the generation that cared for their less fortunate family members and did not turn them out to sleep on the streets. When their families could not be there, a church and the community were there to help.

We are the generation that had industry in the towns to employ our fathers and family members so that they could provide for their families and the educational needs of their children.

We are the generation that valued marriage and the importance of a mother and father in the household.

We are the generation that understood the importance of the unborn regardless of being able to provide for them for we knew that there were others who would welcome them into their homes with care and love.

We are the generation that knew the difference between men and women and we knew what the definitions of both was.

Yep....This is us.
