'IS THIS THE FREE COUNTRY FOR WHICH OUR VETERANS FOUGHT?' By Rinaldo Del Gallo, Esq

I would like to convey some brief thoughts on this year’s Veterans Day. Those who fought in our countries wars fought to preserve freedom. By “freedom” I mean not freedom to do whatever we want, but freedom to engage in fundamental rights. Today, however, our country has deprived fathers of some of the most basic rights. From time to time, it is a worthy endeavor to make a cursory observation of our basic rights.

1. THE RIGHT TO FAMILY: Our nations family courts have deprived of us the right to be with one’s child. We are becoming a fatherless nation. (It is also in many cases impossible to live with our wives if they are foreign born.)

2. THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL: One of the most basic rights—the right to move about—has been reduced to a chimera by pulling driver's licenses. For failure to pay a debt—child support—fathers are being denied the means to go to work, shop, attend worship services, meet friends, attend meetings, and provide care and aid for relatives and friends.
