An Old Friend Passed Away

The following is about an old friend who passed away recently.  He was remembered by many as being a former mayor of McDonough, but he was much more than that.  He was Mr. Richard Craig who was born on July 1, 1934 and died on January 18, 2018.    Richard was the son of John Hugh Craig, Sr. and Mildred Cowan Craig.    He came from a large family that is well known throughout the area.  His late siblings were Hugh Craig, Jr., Lamar Craig, Robert Craig, Herbert Craig, Larry Craig, and Martha Craig Bolien Watts.   His loving wife Nancy survives him as well as many children.  He is also survived by his brothers Bobby Craig, Mike Craig and Sammy Craig.  I remember Richard talking about his being in the US Army.  He played a key role in the sports, and political area of the county over the years.  He was on the Henry County School Board for ten years.  He loved to play in sports such as baseball at Craig Field on McGarity Road.  He served as councilman of the City of McDonough before serving as mayor.  He was currently on the Henry County Elections Board.  He was a charter member of the Henry County Moose Lodge, past president of the Henry County Kiwanis Club.  He was president of the Henry County High School Booster Club and president of the Henry County Recreation Board.  He was inducted into the Henry County Sports Hall of Fame and the ASA Georgia Umpires and Coaches Hall of Fame. Richard Craig Field is at Alexander Park as well as Richard Craig Park off of Zack Hinton Pkwy.  I remember him coming to eat at the Little Diner on Hood Street in McDonough with my parents Emmett and Elaine Moon.  He worked for Southern Bell at that time out of the building on Griffin Street in McDonough.  He was very helpful to us when my dad had to have open heart surgery in 1974.  I can still see him talking at the Craig Brothers Phillips 66 station in town, which is the welcome center today, with his brothers Herbert and Larry.  We would all usually in up at the Country Kitchen Catfish Restaurant at Barnesville, GA on Saturday nights.  Great memories from my youth. Richard was a forward-thinking man who knew the possibilities of what can be for an area.  McDonough and Henry County lost a true friend when Richard passed away.

Democrats Prefer Illegals Over True Americans

On January 19th-20th at midnight 2018, the United States legal citizens found out that the Democrats in Washington, D.C. want to put the interest of those living in our nation illegally ahead of those who are citizens.  They want to put those illegals ahead of the military Veterans who served this nation with valor.  That is a slap in the face to them.  They want to put them ahead of our elderly citizens who built this nation which is another slap in the face.  And they want to put those illegals ahead of our children who need medical care for diseases that cannot be helped and this is a deplorable slap in the face.  These Democrats want to play hardball with a President who knows all about that game.  They are also teetering on violating their constitutional oath to uphold said constitution and the American people.  Those who would condemn our lawful citizens in this nation should be put out of office and banished from our midst.  The Democrats want to play games with the lives of American Citizens over those who came here illegally and are sucking away the funds needed to help our people who are here legally.  We have veterans and others living under bridges in America, some of them freezing to death because they have nowhere else to live and many of them could be helped if the illegals were not taking the funds away from them.  The American Citizens need to wake up and see that those in Washington that love these illegals and there are some Republicans as well who find that they would prefer them over those born and raised here as US citizens.  They need to be put out of any leadership capacity because they don't know what they are doing except feeding there own ego.  Egomaniacs are destroying this nation daily.  All the way from small-town America to Washington, D.C.   They are trying to create a war in our nation that will be a war like no other.  It will pit those US citizens fighting for their homes against the rabble from other nations who would rather see us dead anyway.  They want to blame this on the President, but the blame lies squarely on the heads of those Democrats led by Chuck Schumer who have the unmitigated gall to put an illegal alien in front of a United States citizen and Veteran.  The veterans of our nation will not forget this.   But this has been the sad case in many empires of the world.  Rome let in too many people from the outside and were destroyed from within.  The people of this nation can see now that the leadership in Washington, D.C. under the guise of "we support our citizens" is nothing but a lie.  They take from the Social Security Fund that is the money that belongs to the hard-working US citizens and give it to these illegals.  They take tax money that is taxing the citizens to death to give to these illegals.  Remember what is really going on here and take a good look at those involved and you will see a monster the likes no one ever thought possible.  We were told years ago that we would be taken without firing a shot and that is very close to happening if the people who love their nation don't do something about it.

People That Have No Clue

I have received two E-Mail’s from a friend that knows my work background. The E-Mail is a list of comments from someone that is well known in the County, but is acting like a fool. Again, they are fussing about the way they had to wait in the rain to get into the stadium to watch the UGA football game on Jan. 8, 2018. This person is very ignorant of what it takes to protect the President of the United States Of America. As I said on a Facebook post that day the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI owned the Stadium and the surrounding area.

The Stadium is a logistical nightmare to secure in order to protect the President. This person was also upset that he had to stand in the rain. Well, let me tell you something there were agents that had been in the rain for over twelve hours without complaint doing a very hard and dangerous job. It takes a very special person to put themselves in harms way to protect a protectee and we all should show more respect and honor to them. They work long hard hours with very little gratitude from the general public, I know this first hand.

By the time this is posted the E-Mail’s would have been forwarded to one of my old co-workers for review and investigation. The Motto of the Secret Service "Worthy of Trust and Confidence."  The Motto of the Federal Bureau of Investigation “ Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity,” Keep up the great work guys!!!
