When you and I were young

Remember when that song came out, our grandparents were certainly young and dancing to that in the 1930s. Now our parents are remembering Glen Miller or perhaps they were younger and remember Bill Hailey and the Comets. At any age, they have precious memories that while they share with us, those memories bring hidden smiles to their hearts. Treating older people the way we do sometimes should be a crime, because they gave us this country. Our founding fathers may have begun the country but without our grandparents and parents how in the world could we have defeated Hitler or Hirohito?

Be sure and thank the older people of this country. And listen when they speak.
