Our moral compass

Our existence as decent human beings challenges us all to examine our motives as to why we are still on the top side of this Earth.

We, in this “home of the brave, land of the free,” seemingly have forgotten that it is “home of the free because of the brave.” I served as a proud American in the United States Marine Corps, a Purple Heart recipient of a war that served some to make money at the expense of American lives.

We have lost our moral compass in America. What I saw on Jan. 6 was an awakening for all of us that have a desire to live in a democratic society. God help us all.
