I didn’t live through the Great Depression or WWII like my mother but I have learned through her, valuable lessons like “we have to always look after and take great care of our Vets (WWII) If it weren’t for them, we would all be speaking German.” Additionally, she also taught my six siblings and I that “credit is going to kill this country — you don’t spend money that you don’t have.” These life lessons (among others) were taught to me by her and not delegated because she had my best interests at heart and wanted to make sure that NOTHING WAS LOST IN TRANSLATION. Anything I feel my children MUST know (how money works, why you can’t trust politicians, the fact that NOTHING is free, WHY WE ARE PATRIOTS and most importantly WHY WE MUST KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE US CONSTITUTION MEANS) will come from me. Who better to teach them than a natural-born, tax-paying, patriotic member of the US Citzenry?
