Attorney turned Actor turned Senator turned Actor (again) turned Presidential Candidate turned McCain supporter has had a colorful career in both Hollywood and politics. Yes he is a conservative but this post is not about politics or political biases.
On Tuesday evening Senator Thompson presented a speech to the Republican National Convention that should be edited and made required viewing in every high school in this country.
Why such a strong statement? It was a speech describing an individual that so exemplifies what service to our country is. What sacrifice of self for a larger purpose is all about. Yes it was in a political platform, and yes there are political jabs being thrown in the speech but if you can look through those items you must admit it describes one strong, principled individual. Yes it is about John McCain but get over that and witness this wonderful summary of a dedicated American Patriot.
The speech is broken up into three parts and you can view it on YouTube at the following links:
Take care... Doug
