By Dennis M. O’Connor
I am a retired senior.  My parents and I have lived through 47% of the time since 1776 when the country was founded, 54% including grandparents.  At that time, the family was defined as a husband, wife, biological children, and extended family.  Today many seniors had parents who experienced World Wars I and II, the Roaring ’20s, the Great Depression, and Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal.”  Personally, I have memories of World War II and the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars; civil and gay rights; and technology advancements.  Together we have experienced 21 different presidents.  Our family history is a cornerstone example of American citizenry, including Irish and German immigration.  Families gained great wisdom and knowledge from life.  They made a huge investment in their country, facing hardships and wars, and they kept the faith.  Families have a history of uniting, and together they now realize our country is in serious trouble.  A radical and corrupt government agenda has focused on changing the American family that we know and love.
