I’d rather shake the hand of a veteran than a NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL superstar.

I’d rather shake the hand of a Private on active duty than a famous movie star.

I’d rather shake the hand of a Medal of Honor winner than a President or King.

I’d rather shake the hand of a caring volunteer than a powerful politician.

I’d rather shake the hand of a dirt poor, law-abiding citizen than a rich multi-millionaire.

I’d rather shake the hand of my dearest friend Kimberly, a brave & courageous police officer, than the Attorney General Of The United States.

I’d rather shake the hand of a sworn enemy to the United States of America than a selfish coward American draft dodger who leeches the amenities of this great country and not give back when the US Government calls for Duty, Honor and Country.
