White Light ?

Scientifically speaking, when you separate white light into a spectrum, it is all colors combined.
Studies of the Human Genome indicate there never was an " Adam ", albeit there certainly
was an " Eve ", and she lived somewhere in central Africa.
Of course that was an eon before the Stone Age , we are all so fond of remembering.
And I have read that a world wide cataclysm, may have reduced the number of human prototypes to as few as a thousand ancestors, prior to their overflow out of what became Africa.

When I have been asked about my nationality,while on foreign soil, I reply as follows; I am an American, born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I declare that I am a citizen of the United States of America, by birth right.
Just by dint of being born within the boarders of the U.S.A. does not allow me full pride and ownership of my citizenship in the Nation that leads the Free World. Instead, I adhere to the philosophy of " Blood and Iron ".

My Father volunteered to serve in The U.S. Army for WWI, albeit the war was over before he could serve directly. During WWII he helped to build the ships of war Like the Battle Ship New Jersey. My brother Frederick served in a number of sea battles in the South Pacific, and my brother Robert was with "Patton's Army"in Europe. Between them they were awarded more than three Purple Hearts, for severe life threatening wounds. On D-Day my mother's sister's son, Harold Garmin lost his life in Normandy France.

Steve Godal, my wifes wonderful father who was in The Army Air Force, was stationed in England during WWII and he attained the rank of Sargent.

My sister Margaret married William Kinsley, who was decorated for outstanding service during "The Berlin Air lift". That was an early flash point in the Cold War, which lasted fifty years.Bill served more than thirty years , in The Air Force and Navy during those years, including a stint in Viet Nam.

Thomas Franke saw action in the Mountains of Korea during The Korean War. His role as a combat Medic was often overridden by the need to slay the enemy, at times with a bayonet.

When The World was almost ended during the "Cuban Missile Crises ", the unit I was serving in( Part of The U.S.A.F. ) , was alerted for the invasion of Cuba...

My family were not just born on U.S. Soil; No they earned their rights as citizens by dint of " Blood and Iron".

To my way of thinking true African Americans are those people of African decent, who came to America during the dark days of Slavery. George Washington fought on the side of England during The French and Indian Wars. Many Companies of Militia were made up of African Americans fighting for the English side during The French and Indian wars.

Crispus Attucks , a free African American, was an activist for Colonists rights for a few years prior to his being killed by a British Peace Keeper at what became known as The Boston Massacre.
More than 7,000 African Americans served in The Continental Army. Among them was The hero of Bunker Hill , Mr. Peter Salem. Many American officers described him as super human. During the battle he killed The British commander , General Pitcairn.

During The Mexican American war African Americans served , bled and died for America.

An enormous amount of Americans suffered and died in Americas Civil War to end slavery in The United States. Many Thousands of those Heroes were African Americans.


From The Spanish American War right up to the current War on Islamic fascist, True African Americans have fought for America with Blood and Iron. Therefore I take pride in sharing my rights as a citizen of the Greatest Nation on Earth with them.
The other day I spoke to a grandfather of six , while making a purchase at a large hardware store. He was a U.S. Citizen, albeit he was born in South Viet Nam. He related that he had been in The Signal Core of The South Viet Nam Army, and how he had fought along side of Americans. When America bailed out , and The North took over he was placed into a " Reeducation Camp", where he said he only survived because of what he had learned from American soldiers...Many of his friends died in the virtual death camp.
Time did not permit me to learn of how he got to The U.S.A., but as I shook his hand in parting, I thought " Blood and Iron " , he too has earned the rights of America for himself and his family. As have all whom have served The American Flag !
