How about helping the guys you put into SGNC over $1.00 once you are done partying?

A motivator to R1 and the rest on this 4th of July weekend. Here is a clip I was sent to remind me what makes this country great. From the first soldiers at Lexington to today there are still those who wonder what that occupation is all about. Sorry about the capitals but that was the way it came. Happy 4th to all of you! THIS EXCHANGE BETWEEN SENATORS GLENN AND METZENBAUM IS WORTH READING. NOT ONLY IS IT A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE IMPROMPTU SPEECH, BUT IT'S ALSO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ONE MAN'S EXPLANATION ON WHY MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY DO WHAT THEY DO IN LIFE. I THINK IT IS GOOD FOR US TO READ THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL FROM TIME TO TIME. IT HELPS US TO MAINTAIN OUR FOCUS! >>>THIS EXCHANGE TAKES PLACE ON 3 MAY, 1974, AT THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. -HOWARD METZENBAUM ASKS JOHN GLENN: " HOW CAN YOU RUN FOR SENATE WHEN YOU'VE NEVER HELD A 'JOB'?" GLENN'S RESPONSE: I SERVED 23 YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. I SERVED THROUGH TWO WARS. I FLEW 149 MISSIONS. MY PLANE WAS HIT BY ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE ON 12 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. I WAS IN THE SPACE PROGRAM. IT WASN'T WITH MY CHECKBOOK, IT WAS MY LIFE THAT WAS ON THE LINE. IT WAS NOT A 9 TO 5 JOB WHERE I TOOK TIME OFF TO TAKE THE DAILY CASH RECEIPTS TO THE BANK. I ASK YOU TO GO WITH ME, AS I WENT THE OTHER DAY, TO A VETERAN'S HOSPITAL AND LOOK THOSE MEN,WITH THEIR MANGLED BODIES, IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM THEY DIDN'T HOLD A JOB. YOU GO WITH ME TO ANY GOLD STAR MOTHER AND YOU LOOK HER IN THE EYE AND TELL HER THAT HER SON DID NOT HOLD A JOB. YOU GO WITH ME TO THE SPACE PROGRAM AND GO AS I HAVE TO THE WIDOWS AND THE ORPHANS OF ED WHITE AND GUS GRISSOM AND ROGER CHAFFEE, AND YOU LOOK THOSE KIDS IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM THAT THEIR DAD DIDN'T HOLD A JOB. YOU GO WITH ME ON MEMORIAL DAY COMING UP, AND YOU STAND IN ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETARY- WHERE I HAVE MORE FRIENDS THAN I'D LIKE TO REMEMBER- AND YOU WATCH THOSE WAVING FLAGS, AND YOU STAND THERE AND YOUTHINK ABOUT THIS NATION AND YOU TELL ME THAT THOSE PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE A JOB. I TELL YOU, HOWARD METZENBAUM, YOU SHOULD BE ON YOUR KNEES EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE THANKING GOD THAT THERE WERE SOME MEN -SOME MEN- WHO HELD A JOB. AND THEY REQUIRED A DEDICATION TO PURPOSE AND A LOVE OF COUNTRY AND A DEDICATION TO DUTY THAT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE ITSELF. AND THEIR SELF-SACRIFICE IS WHAT HAS MADE THIS COUNTRY POSSIBLE. I HAVE HELD A JOB, HOWARD!"
