“United we stand, divided we fall.”

We’ve all heard this adage at one time or another. It represents so much.

The last time our country was united was nearly 20 years ago after 9/11. We came together, we flew our flags and we stood as one. It took two towers to fall, another building to be damaged and a plane to go down in a field in Shanksville and well over 3,000 deaths. We’ve been divided since. Going back to 2008 up to now.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

We’ve all heard this adage, too. And we are all living it.

As long as everyone, every group, has an agenda, we will never stand united again. Divided we will fall. If we haven’t already done so.

All of this is ironic since we just celebrated the Fourth of July and the 245th birthday of this great nation. God Bless America and God help us all.
