There is no doubt in my mind that you are cut from the same mold as the Pilgrims and the Patriots who have fought so hard for us to have what we do today...in the short time I have known you, I can say I know a true Patriot....thank you, Corey and May God Bless you and your family.

And then when they came back this year...as we went to several of the same places and they saw how things had changed, and some of the stars in their eyes just weren't as bright. But I told them over and over that yes, we're on a bit of a downhill slide, but in my heart I feel like it's the prelude to a "renaissance" of sorts in this country, and that I would do everything I could to help make that awakening happen. I have full faith that the next time I welcome them to the United States, things will be better. One thing we really need right now in our country is an awakening. One thing we already have that I am so thankful for is inspiration. Modern-day patriots come in many forms. I'm proud that I can call the modern-day patriot that penned this blog "friend"! :) Wonderful, wonderful series of posts, Corey. Thank you so much for sharing this - I will definitely pass it on!
