A SALUTE TO AMERICA
Gary Seibert • Mar 26, 2020
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
There is an old saying that goes “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”.
Fast forward to March, 2020, and take a deep look at what’s going on all around our country right now. I believe we can honestly say, “When America got hit with this tough Coronavirus Crisis, Americans got even tougher.
The number of stories of people, businesses and organizations that are stepping up to the plate and providing extraordinary acts of kindness and generosity has once again proven that our American Culture is as strong today as it ever was.
We are a Nation of founders and builders, friends and neighbors, givers and providers, believers and survivors. We are a Nation that believes, “Fear and Faith cannot occupy the same space”. We are a nation of overcomers who will not allow set-backs to determine our destiny. We are the United States of America and what you are about to read is a true testimony to the real core of who we are—One Nation, under God, Indivisible.
Let’s all take our hats off and SALUTE the following:
- Once busy streets and downtowns are deserted because Americans are respecting the rules
- Businesses are sacrificing and facing financial losses to protect others
- Schools have shut down to protect our children’s health
- Entire families are quarantined in their homes and learning some new lessons in life
- Medical workers are working overtime and exposing themselves to help others
- The trucking industry is in emergency mode to get supplies to high risk areas
- Manufacturing companies are switching gears to make products so desperately needed
- Groups and organizations are volunteering to help wherever needed
- A Cruse Line has offered one of its ships to be a floating hospital
- Professional Athletes are taking their own earnings and giving it back to help
- Construction companies are giving masks to doctors and hospitals in need
- Schools and restaurants are offering their kitchens to help feed children out of school
- Grocery stores are opening early so elderly people can shop first
- General Motors has offered to start making breathing devices so desperately needed
- The Federal Government is putting together the biggest Relief program ever
The above list is just a drop in the bucket compared to all that is being done in small communities, towns, and cities across this Nation. Millions of people, young and old, reaching out to do their part to help in this crisis and bring it to an end—as soon as possible. A Historic, united effort by selfless Americans doing what we do best — uniting in difficult times to help one another.
Thank you, and MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
