Really old geezers

I don't remember some of this, but I am not old enough yet. Don't remember wwII. Don't worry about cursing in front of a woman....hell, they can curse worse than us!

At sporting events during the playing of the national anthem, old geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old geezers remember Word War II -- Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Adolf Hitler. They remember the atomic age, the Cold War, the jet age, the moon landing and Vietnam.If you bump into an old geezer, he will apologize. He will nod or tip his hat to a lady. Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. They hold the door for the next person, and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside. Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children. And geezers seldom brag, unless it's about their grandchildren.
Old geezers know our great country is protected not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in the military. More than ever, this country needs geezers with their decent values.Marion Thiel
