So what is the most important thing we can do to support and honor our troops?
Help PROTECT and DEFEND the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of the United States to SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY.
Help elect HONEST and LAW ABIDING people to public office.
Support them when they are doing right, and SPEAK OUT, and speak out LOUDLY, when they do not.
Be productive, and LEARN, and TEACH others, even if we do not always succeed.
HERE IN VAN ZANDT COUNTY!
