The 60's changed the world.
Send me your memories of the 60's. I do not think there are any good memories. But we never lost our faith in our country, and these days have no comparison to then, but we survived and are better because of them and don't you think we will come out of this better, stronger, wiser and more dedicated to our preamble.

A Time to Question
I recall one young man from my district. . . . In November 1967 he was killed in Vietnam. His parents came for the funeral, and I met them in the stark basement of the chapel at Arlington. The mother walked up to me and just collapsed, crying in my arms. The father wrapped his arms around her and began to sob too. . . . I wanted to find the words to justify what had happened, but there weren't any. (U.S. Senator Donald Riegle)
Basically the issue in Vietnam is one of ideology. Do our people believe in the choice of independence and freedom or the use of force and subversion to gain an end? The Communists cannot hope to gain success by peaceful means. They resort to a campaign of assassination, kidnapping, and wanton violence to achieve their aims. . . . Our basic goal is international peace and security. The current situation in Vietnam is a threat to the whole free world community. (Lieutenant Colonial Clayton C. [Bud] Fenton, 1967)
In the early 1960s, the Klans functioned as a clandestine movement that spearheaded the resistance to a national trend toward equality for all Americans. Like their predecessors, the `60s Klans employed terrorism and a form of guerrilla race warfare to carry out their purposes. The Klans and their allies were responsible for a major portion of the assaults, killings, bombings, floggings, and other acts of racial intimidation that swept the South in the first years of the 1960s. The Klans provided the organizational framework and the emotional stimulus necessary to incite members and nonmembers alike to violence and terror.
The year 1960 was marked by a sharp increase in Klan activities and by the consolidation of some of the previously splintered groups in seven states. The Klan resurgence was spurred by the historic sit-in movement launched at Greensboro, North Carolina on February 2, 1960, by young Black civil rights activists. A few weeks later, on the weekend of February 27-28, 1960, representatives of splintered Klan groups from seven Southern states met at the Henry Grady Hotel in Atlanta and formed a "National Klan Committee" to coordinate their activities. The Klans represented there had long been opposed to Edwards' U.S. Klans; in fact, this opposition was the chief bond among them. The loose confederation of splinter Klans that emerged came to be known as the "National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan."
I was 6 years old when the 60s came to an end. I have lots of memories but the one that stands out are the neighbors college age kid and her friends with a volkswagen van with flowers painted all over it.

Freedom means different things to different people.
For me, it means things like being there when the kids get home from school, planning for a secure retirement, playing golf in the middle of the week, and not being in rush hour traffic. We are a group of professional entrepreneurs, working together to build, income for now and for the future. We are looking for others just like us who want to do the same.
Gasoline was .25 a gal, cars were actually "different looking" each year, Beatles, Dave Clark 5, Elvis,TV sitcoms were all the rage for evening TV, dinner as a family was the norm, Eating "out" for dinner was a real treat, there was a formality to the way we dressed, our front and back doors were unlocked all summer as we went in and out,we actually played outside, rode our bikes and roller skated in the neighborhood. We entertained ourselves, we didn't need to be entertained.
