A sad commentary of Our Times....

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and was disturbed by something I heard. Well, maybe disturbed isn't the right word, but still... The station was re-capping American Idol, (of which I'm a big fan). They commented on Christy Lee Cook singing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA". It wasn't the rendition that galled them so much as the song. They hate the song. It sounded to me like they just think it's stupid to play or sing that song because we're patriotic and care about our nation. Maybe I'm wrong. The worst part was that a Serviceman called in to the radio station and bitched that they were tired of people playing that song when they come home and they think it's stupid that we do! Well, I think it's terrible that he called in and figuratively slapped in the face the very people who welcomed home he and his fellow troops and called them Heros. There was a time in this nation when the men who fought were spat upon and shunned. It's a beautiful, meaningful song and reguardless of if you're a fan of it or not, have the class to appreciate those who appreciate you. After all, it is just a song. It's the fact that someone thought enough of all of our troops to say 'Thank You'.

God Bless the USA...

Have an Awesome Day...
