Today, 9/23/09, the senior center in my town planned (a month in advance) to take us to watch this great show at a local studio. We arrived at the Studio little before 8am on a bus filled with approx. 20 of us (including our driver). To our surprise, we were not allow to enter. The studio staff explained that a US Navy bus had arrived with 55 (only booked for 40) sailors and thus we could not fit in for the session planned. Since we are patriotic men and women (including veterans) we agreed to come back for the 10am session. Upon our arrival at 10am the staff once again explained that we could not enter. They apologized and ask for us to come back for the 1:30pm session. As you can imagine, at this point we were all disappointed and discourage. We made the exception to agree to come back since they would not let us in because the men and women who are serving our country needed a chance...what about those who have already served their country with valor. The part of the population whom everyone seem to forget that they also deserve a chance. We made our contributions to society can we at least be respected for that, if nothing else. We are not asking for nothing more than the same respect other deserve. I urge all of you who read this spend time with your elderly loved ones as our time will soon expire and the pleasant memories is we have in the end...unfortunately no pleasant memories from this day.

I'm truly disappointed also, because this nation and we are a NATION has becoming extinct just like the dinosaurs, slowly but surely, the dinosaurs were our protectors who is protecting us now. Our hopes and dreams are not for the lesser and few... that doesn't work for them, but those who truly care or worked hard to get where they're at, have no place in this Nation in the land of the FREE. I truly hope we could band together and run this country ourselves God knows we have enough smart minded people to run it. Look at all the computer wizards, wall street bankers , casino owners, business owners... can any of them and Lottery winners give back to society to turn this economy around. Let's just start where you went that day it's been happening... it just to the point where it needs to be addressed. Let's all band together and work on CHANGE.

Margefarrish a firm believer in dreams do come true if you believe in yourself and believe they do.
