In John F Kennedy’s inaugural address he stated unequivocally:
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,”
Said by a war hero, to a nation of war heroes and the families of war heroes. A nation who had survived the depression, World War II, the Korean War, and were ready to move forward. But he and they knew how that was done, not by “government” but my people. Individuals willing to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
He didn't call us to cry out, “What are you going to do for me government?” Rather, he called us to our better angels, our values of service and heroism that bring out the best of us.
What would he say about the state of our country today. So many people screaming “SAVE ME!” The timid looking to be saved, crying out for a shepherd. One might say, an attitude that is the opposite of the American spirit.
How do we react? We react by echoing Kennedy and our brave forefathers and mothers - service, sacrifice, standing for what is good and right willing to pay any price.
