"Geezers" are easy to spot. This is slang
for an old man.
During a sporting event during the playing
of the National Anthem, they
will hold their caps over their hearts and sing without
embarrassment.
They 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 and
Vietnam.
If you bump into a Geezer on the sidewalk,
he will apologize. Pass a
Geezer on the street and he will 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 a 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 is about
their 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 is the Geezeers who know our great
country is protected not by the so-called politicians or police, but by
the young men and women in our military that are serving their country in
foreign lands, just as they did, without a thought except to do a good job
and the best you can and to return home to loved ones.
Each and everyone of us should thank God
for Old Geezers!
