IN THE PURSUIT OF
OUT OF AMERICAS PAST OF THE 1940s, OUT OF THE ADVERSITYOF THE TIMES, ADVENTS WOULD CHANGE THIS NATION IN MORE WAYS THEN ONE. AS WE FOUGHT A WAR TO SAVE OUR NATION, SOME GROUPS FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED LOYAL AMERICANS. THEY FOUGHT WITH THE BLOOD OF THERE SON AND GRANDSONS JUST TO BE A PART OF THIS GREAT EXPERIMENT CALLED FREEDOM. EVEN THOUGHT GREAT INJUSTICES HAD BEEN DONE TO THEM, THEY STILL HAD THIS BURNING DESIRE TO BE PART OF IT ALL.
THE NAVAJO INDIANS, HERE BEFORE THE REST OF US, SETTLED IN THE FOUR COUNERS OF MONUMENT VALLEY OF THE SOUTH WEST.
FORCIBLY TAKEN FROM THERE LAND IN 1863 TO FORT SUMNER ON WHAT THE NAVAJO CALL "THE LONG WALK" TWO HUNDRED OF THERE
NUNBER DIED ON THERE JOURNEY.
RESETTLED IN A PLACE WHERE CROPS WOULD NOT GROW AND SHEEP COULD NOT GRAZE. IN 1867 THEY WERE RETURNED TO THERE
HOMELAND. IN 1941 THEY VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT WITH THE U.S. MARINE CORPS AS CODE TALKERS. THEY WOULD USE THERE LANGUAGE AS A WEAPON, TO HELP WIN A WAR.
IN 1941 JAPANESE AMERICANS WERE TOLD TO PACK UP THERE BELONGINGS AND REPORT TO INTURNMENT CAMPS, WHERE THEY WOULD BE HELD UNTIL THE WARS END. THERE SONS WOULD BATTLE
THE GOVERMENT FOR THE RIGHT FIGHT FOR THIS NATION. THE RESULT WAS THE U.S.ARMY'S 442d REGIMENTAL COMBAT TEAM, WHERE 4,500 JAPANESE AMERICANS SERVED. THE UNIT RECEIVED MORE THEN 18,000 INDIVIDIAL DECORATIONS AND SEVEN PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATIONS.
AFRICAN AMERICANS OUT OF SLAVERY AND NAYBE THE LONGEST STRUGGLE TO BE EXCEPTED, CAME THE FAMED TUSKEGEE AIRMEN,
FIGHTER PILOTS WHO DESTORYED 251 ENEMY AIRCRAFT AND WON
850 INDIVIDIAL DECORATIONS. USED AS ESCORTS FOR BOMBS, THEY
NEVER LOST A BOMB TO ENEMY AIRCRAFT, 66 OF THERE NUMBER PAID
THE ULTIMATE PRICE.
SO THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS NATION THAT EVEN WITH THERE I'LL TREATMENT WOULD NOT DETER THEM FROM THERE
GOAL OF LIBERTY? WELL I THINK IT ALL COMES DOWN TO JUST 36
WORDS.
"WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT,THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE,
LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS"
THOSE WORDS ARE SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL EVER WRITTEN.
I SOMETIMES WONDER IF TIME IS IN GODS PLAN, INJUSTICES TAKE TIME TO CHANGE MINDS, SOMETIMES GENERATIONS.
