This from a retiree friend in Central Texas.
I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as their government underwent a peaceful transition of power a couple of months
past. At first, I felt a pride and patriotism as I watched Barack Obama take his Oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished
as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.
It was then, in horror, that I realized how far America 's Military had deteriorated.
Every last one of them missed.
