President George Bush spoke in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. He was greeted by one of the largest crowds he has ever spoken to. There was estimated to be between 100,000 to 300,000 gathered making it the largest gathering in the country since its independence in 1991.
You could see Georgians waving American flags and dressed in red, white and blue. You would have thought it was the Fourth of July not a gathering in another country. If Bush would have visited another country say France, Germany or the Netherlands he would have faced large protests. But in Georgia the people and government were very excited about having President George Bush visit them. The American National Anthem was even played to honor America and our tradition of supporting freedom.
But I fear that our current generation of Americans lack the understanding and appreciation of what freedom is. They would rather care about their bling bling and criticize our military than to serve and love our nation defending our belief in freedom and God.
The Georgians are my kind of Americans. May they live long in Freedom and never lose knowledge of the tyranny they came from.
