Q, Thank you!

I was young, but remember the malaise of the mid-to-late 70's. Vietnamese refugees with sponsors coming to the U.S. The Iranian hostage crisis.

I remember when the Nimitz was stationed in the middle-east for 9 months and the suicides they had to deal with.

The country and the military were downhearted and discouraged.

With the election of Reagan there was a breath of fresh air. The previously anemic airshows became blockbusters.

By 1982 there would be 80,000 screaming patriots along the flightline for the Dayton Airshow – 125,000 by 1984.

I remember 1985 and applying for the B-1B program in Columbus. In a few short years we went from a dejected country, typified by First Blood

to an entirely re-awakened patriotism. Remember H Norman Schwatzkoph? People looked up to him.

The Obama malaise wasn't the same, it didn't have the same causes. (I hope associates of the Q Team have some serious historians

working on the documentation of this historic enterprise.) I remember "There was a time…" BUT that time has arrived anew!

Every single one of us realizes the momentous workings taking place in our day and the depths of loss that very nearly drowned us.

You say, " It is time, WE THE PEOPLE, reclaim what is rightfully ours."

I say, "AMEN!!!"

We were patriots, we are patriots, we will be patriots. WWG1WGA
