Geezer Pride!!

After hitting the "Big Five-O" last month my "friends", family & co-workers feel compelled (every chance they get) to remind me that I'm a Geezer now.

My old (strike that) worldly & learned boss was kind enough to pass this to me. I thought I'd share with the rest of the "Geezers" on the Forum.

"I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only geezer receiving it.

Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called as you will see....

'Geezers' are easy to spot: At sporting events, during the playing of the Star Spangled BANNER. Old Geezers remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.

Old Geezers remember the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War 1950-55, The Cold War, the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, 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 any filth on TV or in movies or in e-mails.

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, 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 Goodness for Old Geezers!"

Guess it feels good to be a Geezer after all! So I salute all you "OLD Geezers"; it's an honor to be a member of your fraternity! :p

I'm not a Geezer, but my husband is. I have to agree to that we need more of them.
