| What is the all-American face? Some say it’s white — Others argue it should be The face of a Native American — Others say it’s the faces of Their children, sweet and innocent, Or the svelte model On the cover of the sports magazine — Or maybe the smiling basketball star — Or Norman Rockwell’s subject In a Sunday-go-to-meeting suit. I saw the all-American face today. PLEASE REMEMBER OUR MILITARY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND THROUGHOUT THE YEARS TO COME. |

They are in constant situations that can put them in harms way-even at home. Remember government civilians are in the same boat. There was a civilian killed at Ft.

Understand there are hateful people in America, and I’m not talking
about the shooter! I cannot repeat the garbage people wrote on Facebook and Twitter….BUT this is America and the people in uniform are fighting to preserve your right to be free and write garbage if you like!
Remember the families-children who don’t have a mother or father during this coming holiday season. Remember their mental health. Don’t ignore problems. Be thankful it’s not you!
Homeless People on Twitter The invisible people are on
Twitter! Not people from outer space or sci-fi, but people who survive right here on earth. Believe it! Hardlynormal is one such individual. His bio says, “Just a hardly normal guy trying to navigate through an abnormal world by helping others.” ABC News Detroit did a story on Hardlynormal’s mission – One Man’s Mission against Homelessness.
