THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT A SILVER DOLLAR
The date of 1922 is a date that should be well remembered. The men and women born in 1922 were only 19 when America was attacked in 1941. Within less than a year from the day the war started, our armed forces were filled with millions of men and women who were born in 1922 and the other years of the early 1920s. And there were millions more Americans who would continue joining, some born in years prior to the beginning of the 20th Century.
When America was attacked by another enemy on 11 September 2001, millions of men and women joined the Armed Services of the United States to combat the enemy. The new enemy, men without a nation , men who hate America for our freedoms of choice and who have vowed to destroy us, have not surrendered.
As there were Americans who did not wait for their nation to call them to duty in 1941 but joined en masse to defend our freedoms, there were those Americans who did not wait for a call to duty after the heinous and cowardly attack on our homeland on 11 September 2001.
American men and women have not changed their values, their hopes and their love of our nation since 7 December 1941. Although there is, for the most part, a totally different news media since World War Two, the men and women who have continued to serve in uniform are as dedicated now as they were then. And although many in our government have cowered to this loathsome and murderous enemy who murder the innocent, there are still those who believe our nation is worth fighting for; there are those who still believe in the same values we shared as a nation in 1941 and refuse to lay down our arms and surrender our freedom of speech and religion for the common agreement on some very subversive ideologies

About Me
- HUFFSTUTTER'S PHOTO ESSAYS
- My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
