You don't have to be old to be an "old geezer"
--and perhaps we should all become one!

At sporting events, during the playing of the
National Anthem, Old Geezers hold their caps over
their hearts and sing without embarrassment.
They know the words and believe in them.

Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression,
World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy
and Hitler.

They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, the
Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to
mention Vietnam. If you bump into an Old Geezer on
the sidewalk, he will apologize. If you pass an
Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap
to a lady.

Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women.
Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and
always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the
inside for protection.

Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front
of women and children and they don't like violence and
Old Geezers have moral courage. They seldom brag
unless it's about their grandchildren.

It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is
protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country.

This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values.
We need them now more than ever.
Thank God for Old Geezers!
