So this notion of governance seems to have escaped the collective understanding of those elected to govern. Both left and right share blame. Deeply embedded special interests undermining the health and vitality of a nation through lobbyists. Politicians whose only interest is re-election to self serve while conducting insider trading at scale and in plain sight. Big Pharma's stranglehold on Washington and a Health Care system that increases cost and delivers worse patient outcomes. A middle class and job market for new entrants deteriorating at an unprecedented scale. Then finally Social Media's radicalization of American Society against each other in search of digital engagement because of the business model. This isn't the America I risked my life to defend, and it isn't the one that my father conducted amphibious landings in WW2 to guarantee a future worth having. But I trust in God and I trust there will be a way out. I pray for it every day. May Christ hold Charlie and his family in the palm of his hands as Charlie begins his Glorious Journey.
