I was brought up to believe that every man and woman in this country has an inherent duty to give of themselves, in some meaningful manner, back to the community in which they live. Whether it be as a Little League coach or umpire, a member if a service club, sitting on some parent committee, being active in church affairs, or some such other activity. In those days, there was no shortage of volunteers.
I have been Past President of an Optimist Club, heavily involved in Scouting activities on a unit and council level, sat on an economic development board, been an active member and officer of an American Legion Post... and just received recognition as a 50-year member of a Masonic Lodge.
And in 2015, I have to ask: "Where in the hell IS everybody?"
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
