Hey everyone I received this letter from a family member. It's from a WWII veteran that served his country and for years has supported patriotic movements and causes. A humble man who stands by his convictions and has not spoken out about a government official until now. It is worth taking the time to read.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly
before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one,
is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world,"America is mean-spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her
ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

Continued from above....

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

There you have it. When a 95 year old man of the "Greatest Generation" speaks out you know something is wrong. May God bless America!

I can read the heartbreak and anger this man feels in his letter , unfortunately america died long before he realized it , on Jeckyl Island when the FED was created. After ww2 that he fought in ,which was a big misdirection trick , it was used as an excuse to build weapons , craft and underground bases and launder ridiculous sums of money , which facilitated the transfer of hittler and his high command along with Aryans of the purest blood to New Swabia , Antarctica .

Nazis in america like the Bushes and Rothschilds funded OPERATION PAPERCLIP to bring into america , nazi scientists who went to work covertly at destroying america from within. Socialism came around the sixties with the counterculture all under the influence of some of these nazi scientists' like Freidrich von Balluseck and Alfred kinsey , funded by illuminati families. Presently we're going through the phase of adding NATIONAL infront of that socialism to make it national socialism e.i NAZI-ism. Don't believe me then explain bailing out private banks and businesses with taxpayers money , NATIONALIZED.

I feel sorry for this old war veteran.

He has some very good points but I feel he looks upon his memory with nostalgic rose tinted glasses.

Yes he thought for what was Freedom back in the 40's, as soon as the 50's rolled round the world was already getting even more dangerous.

Since then many presidents have tried to enforce a new empire upon the world under the guise of freedom.
Freedom that the American forefathers made possible is now nothing more than a nostalgic memory in history books.

Freedom for the people in any nation equals problems for any ruling elite.

Oh my God, so now GLURGE is passing for commentary on ATS???
Are we now going to cut and paste every sappy piece of BS we get in our inboxes?
What next? Jesus and kittens?

Well Obama is not on my mailing list, but these outrage letter from a "friend"
are suspicious and predictable. Anyways this 95 year old bat listens to too much Beck
and seems to be as self aware as Charles Manson. Where was this guy this last decade?

It's LAUGHABLE

I hope Obama fails as horribly as yall wish, our else you are gonna be an unhappy lot.
He is gonna be teflon if this gets any sight better - these "letters" are like a slow inoculation, building up people tolerance. IMO

Just the same racist christian phyco bable we see day in and day out by peopel who want "that colored fellow" out of the white house. Obama is right, America is not a christian nation, its a multicultural nation built on may faiths and religions. BUT if you want to be exact, the natives were there first , so let them decide what the official religion of the country should be. So yeah, racism, seggergation, fear, arrogance, redneck right wing hate speech is all I read. Yeeeee Hawwwwww

Please don't tell me your posting silly internet email chain letters.
