"Geezers" are easy to spot; this is slang for an old man. But, at sporting
events, during the playing of the National Anthem, they hold their caps over
their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe
in them. The remember World War I, the Depression, World War II, Pearl
Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the
Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to mention
Vietnam.

If you bump into a "Geezer" on the sidewalk, he'll apologize, pass a Geezer
on the street, he'll nod, or tip his cap to a lady. "Geezers" trust
strangers and are courtly to women. They hold the door for the next person
and always when walking, make sure the lady is on the inside for protection.

"Geezers" get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children
and they don't like violence and filth on TV and in movies, "Geezers" have
moral courage. "Geezers" seldom brag unless it's about the grandchildren in
Little League or music recitals.

This country needs "Geezers" with their decent values and common sense. We
need them now more than ever. It's the "Geezers" who know our great country
is protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in
the military serving their country in foreign lands, just as they did,
without a thought except to do a good job, the best you can and to get home
to loved ones.

THANK GOD FOR "OLD GEEZERS."
