SELF MADE BADGE OF HONOR, OR GLORY HOG

April 3, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The self proclaimed ‘self made’ man stands alone all by himself. No one else gets any credit for his accomplishments because: A: His accomplishments are so meager no one knows, or, B: He’s been shunned. Which is it, because no man is a self made man.

UN-AMERICAN ACCUSATION BASED ON COMMON DECENCY

June 4, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Who gets tagged with an un-American accusation? Asking for gun control in the wake of mass shootings? That’s un-American accusation? Talking about the Jan.6 insurrection?

FIRST RESPONDERS READY TO GO

August 1, 2016 by David Gillaspie

In exhibition or action, First Responders are first for a reason. Every emergency, natural or man made, needs the same thing: HELP! First Responders are that help. The more you know about them, the harder their job feels.
