One Older Man Made a Difference

"JANUARY 25, 1999. JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA - John Samuelson, a 78-year old grandfather in Flagler Beach, Florida, raised his American flag in front of his house to show his support for the President. He also told a few friends that they should do the same. Just days later, flags are raised in front of thousands of households in every single state of the union, plus Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam.

As a member of MoveOn.org, an online movement opposing impeachment, Mr. Samuelson has a lot of friends. News of Mr. Samuelson's simple act went out by email to 450,000 members on Friday night. By Saturday afternoon, members reported by email that thousands of flags were raised across the nation.

This heart-warming story is in a press release for the Censure and Move On Organization.

BUT NOT ALL OLDER ADULTS AGREE WITH THIS POSITION. ONE OLDER MAN FOUND A WAY TO MAKE HIS VOICE HEARD. GOOD FAITH REQUIRES THAT WE LISTEN TO ALL THE POSITIONS. IF YOU COME ACROSS A SIMILAR STORY ABOUT AN OLDER PERSON MAKING HIS/HER VOICE HEARD, SEND IT IN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO SEE US AS DIVERSE AS WE ARE, WITH AS MANY VOICES AS WE HAD ALL OUR LIVES.
