He Fought For Freedom, He Can't Use.

  I have to tell you, sometimes,  I just feel so embarrassed for all of America's brave veterans. While I feel sure that most Americans, who live in this country are thankful for the freedoms they have thanks to the selfless sacrifices of many brave men and women, many,  are forever wounded,  missing one or more limbs or psychologically,    scared for life, there are always those who are shallow and not thankful  and basically just don;t get it!
  I was watching the news recently, I heard about a fairly well known Hollywood movie producer Gerald Molen, who produced such films as Schindler's List, Twister,  and Jurassic Park He showed up to give a speech at Ronan High School,  in Montana. He was told by the principal, that concerned parents had called the school and no longer desired for him to speak there because his political views were too conservative. Mr. Molen, assured the principal his speech would be anything but political but the principal refused to let him speak despite the fact that he had driven ninety miles from his home and was a Marine Corps veteran. Here is a man, who fought for others so that they could exercise their right of freedom of speech yet he is now being told by a high school principal that he will not be allowed to exercise his freedom of speech that he fought to protect! I guess that's how the high school principal a liberal no doubt says, thank you to our brave veterans. The High school principal won't be the principal at Ronan High school next year and I couldn't be happier for the students there. I just hope that the new principal will be one that appreciates the sacrifices our brave veterans both men and women have made in order to give all Americans,s the freedoms the freedoms they have today. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
