I keep a 1945 wheat penny in my wallet. To always remind me of one of the greatest years of the United States of America. 1776 was a great year. 1783. 1788. 1803. 1865. 1919. And then '45. I'm looking for coins from the other years. Had an 1888 Morgan silver dollar once. That year my grandfather bought the family biz from great grampa. 6 wagons and 6 teams of horses for 16 hundred dollars. Grampa was 18.
Anyway, I guess my point is the United States of America will have another great year to honor. Maybe it was '01. O, we've honored that all right. '74 we did get Dick Nixon out of the White House. This year we're ending our Iraq engagement. But I'm looking for another '45. The end of war itself. On Earth. Wrote a frackin novel about it.
So, pards. Remember Pearl Harbor today in some way. And maybe keep a special US penny in your wallet. Because the United States of America has to be the greatest idea and land for humankind in history.
