So, what were you doing last Saturday? If you didn’t attend the Operation America Rising (OAR) event at Greeley Park in Nashua, let me tell you my little rockers, you missed out big time!
Gov. Mike Huckabee and his Capitol Offense band were too cool, dude! Perhaps I particularly enjoyed it because they played some of the oldies but goodies from my era….Elvis, etc., but the classic rock songs played seemed to have universal appeal and most people were stomping their feet and clapping their hands.
I personally could not keep from dancing on the grass, most of the time by myself, but thanks to one of the Blue Star Moms, Mary, I wasn’t always alone and it appeared that everyone in attendance had a really great time. Hey, at my age, I dance when I can ’cause who knows when I won’t be dancin’ again!
I was very impressed with Gov. Huckabee…no, not just his guitar playing either even though he’s very good and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself as well. Why? He did not seem like a politician at all, but a very sincere man of honesty and integrity. While I hadn’t thought about it before, I’m taking a closer look at him and his campaign for President. I liked what I sensed and felt from him……a God fearing man…..someone who will do the right thing regardless of stiff opposition and politics.
But, like I said, I need to study up on his policies, etc. since I have not made up my mind who I’m voting for to run the country….except, DEFINITELY NOT FOR ANY OF THE DEMOCRATS running. And, no, don’t blame me for the last election, I didn’t vote for the cowardly, follower rather than leader Gov. Lynch or Rep. Hodes or Shea-Porter-Pompous!
And see there were other dancers, so see the pics here from organizer Jennifer Horn’s link as she ‘splains it all very well. And, yep, as always, I teared up when Maj. Loring sang "God Bless the USA."
I liked what Cmdr. Paul Galanti said who spent seven years at the Hanoi Hilton…something to the tune that any day’s a good day when you have a door handle on the inside….he knows the price of freedom for sure.
You peaceniks out there could have learned some very valuable lessons from the event, well maybe not, if you had bothered to attend. Oh yeah, you weren’t the only no shows. Carol Shea and Hodes didn’t bother to attend either. They were probably busy serving you unpatriotic peaceniks milk and cookies instead of getting behind real Americans.
Hmmm, where’s my old 8 tracks or reel-to-reels (ask your parents) ’cause I feel like dancin’ again since I have a ton of door handles on the inside of my home. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND FAMILIES AND ESPECIALLY OUR BLUE AND GOLD STAR MOTHERS who, as always, were incredible at the event. They, too, know the true meaning of sacrifice and support the troops and their mission!
