HONORING THOSE WHO SACRIFICED ALL FOR OUR FREEDOM

By Taylor Sterling 

This past weekend at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Goshen where I had the honor and privilege of honoring those 40 soldiers who all lost their lives during the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of the most famous battles during World War I. The ceremony opened with the Director of Veteran Affairs, Christian Farrell sharing the incredible story of those brave men who all perished on September 29, 1918. Our Orange County Executive, Steven Neuhaus shared his thoughts on this infamous day reminding the crowd about the sacrifices these brave men made and all were from Orange County. We then made our way over to the newly constructed POW-MIA memorial monument covered by a Gazebo. The ceremony included the Nam Knights led by the President, John “Cheech” Richichi who donated a POW/MIA chair (see photo) that was set next to the various monuments dedicated to those POW/MIA soldiers in WWII, Korea, Viet Nam. The Honor Guard presented their colors with a 4 gun salute. While you are considering who to vote for in these upcoming elections, think hard about who respects our military, our law enforcement, and our American citizens’ well-being. The person who will make America safe again as we are being terrorized each day. We get feeds from across the country every day with the brutality, murders, robberies, and rapes being brought on by the illegal immigrants. Think who will clear our borders, put our taxpayer dollars back where they belong and not in the hands of all these illegals. Personally, after I left the grocery store spending 3 times what I should spend for 2 people I looked around at families with small children and felt a wave of sadness come over me thinking how are they going to afford to feed their families, house the families and support their families if this administration doesn’t change. American who have worked their entire lives and paid into the system are going without while the illegal migrants are receiving food, housing and medical care.

Question, do you think there is something wrong with the climate in our country? Sure, it’s easy to go home and throw the television on and get lost in some inane show to rid yourself of reality. Look around you… it’s not about you…it’s about your family, friends, neighbors…it’s about America…not about party…it’s about the person. We know we do not have great choices however we are left with who will bring America to a healthier state, where families can go food shopping and not have to decide if they can afford one gallon of milk or a loaf of bread. Trust me, it’s happening. I overheard a conversation that made me ill. Also please make a plea to celebrities….FERME LA BOUCHE and entertain, We do not need your endorsement of who to vote for because you sing or dance.

Oh My Gosh, did I just have to say that! For the love of your family, friends and neighbors and this country, vote by making your own decision, please do not go to social media…this is a major turning point in our Country. Forewarned, billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, said the course of action is clear if Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Harris secures a victory. “If Harris was elected, I would pull my money from the market,” Paulson said. He added that so will many other billionaires as she plans to remove the tax incentives and she will in essence cause a market crash this country has never seen before.
