I'd like to "toot" my own horn:
* Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing
of the National Anthem. Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention
and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.
* Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbour , Guadalcanal ,
Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold
War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping
Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam .
* If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If
you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady.
Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women.
* Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when
walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
* Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and
children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in
movies.
* Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity.. They seldom
brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.
* It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by
politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving their
country.
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of
responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.
We need them now more than ever.
Thank God for Old Farts!
