A Salute to Service: The Rebirth of Patriotism

Sprednja platnica
New Leaf Publishing Group, 2004 - 176 strani
Concepts such as patriotism and family values have been mocked, struck down, and absolutely belittled in the past few years, according to this volume. The clear waters of right and wrong have been muddied until younger generations no longer seem to know right from wrong, but are mentally trapped in a murky gray area of if it feels good do it. This book by Mike Radford celebrates America, its families, its veterans, and its Christian heritage. Stories of great Americans and reminders of what makes America great are included here, inspiring all of us to return to the things that make this the greatest nation on earth.
