Sums it up for me, how about you?

This letter was sent by a 79 year old veteran in Washington state to his senators. I don’t know this gentleman, but he does exist and he did write this letter.  The words ring true with the sound wisdom of "We the People".

Here’s the letter:

April 3, 2013
Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Washington, DC, 20510

Dear Senator:

I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.

Wonderful A Cappella!
