I Want My Country Back (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453677995)

Bruce L. Etter grew up in Cherry Hill NJ and graduated from Drexel University (Philadelphia PA) in '84. He has spent the past 25 years employed with Lockheed Martin, starting in '85 at RCA and growing with the largest defense contractor through mergers with General Electric, Martin Marietta, and Lockheed. Bruce currently resides in Delran NJ with his lovely wife of 20 years, Mariellen, and two adoring children; Gregory a sophomore at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia PA and Lauren a sophomore at Delran High School. He is a member of Sacred Heart Church in Riverton NJ. He has been involved with soccer for the past 40 years: as a player co-captaining Drexel's '81 East Coast Conference Championship team; as a coach assisting at both Drexel and The University of Pennsylvania. He has enjoyed coaching youth soccer in the community for the past quarter century. Bruce has always had a passion for history engaging in life on all levels relating with family, friends, co-workers, teammates, even foe. His continual quest to live the American Dream has driven him to act with the pen. As an involved concerned citizen of a country that is blest with much yet yields so little promise for tomorrow, Bruce has re-dedicated his ministry to paying a debt of gratitude to the past, stewarding today serving God, family, country, community, and company. The most important criteria for crafting this original have been to seek the truth and educate the leaders of tomorrow to do the same. The mission, to arm our citizenry with real tools to compete, cooperate, and unite forging their own independence through interdependence, growing free by acting responsibly and understanding what it takes to be a citizen of the United States. To connect the past with the present so tomorrow we continue freely pursuing enriched lives. To pass on the experiences our country originated and grows from - the American Spirit, humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Finally, as a fellow citizen of this One Nation under God, to acknowledge that we are all created and endowed with rights from our Creator granted the opportunity to live, laugh, and love in this land of abundance. Wisdom discloses our obligation to reconcile and strengthen our unity as a society while venturing out individually to fulfill our life's purpose. "Unity through Diversity maturing a healthy growing homeland is the message being conveyed - living in the greatest land on the planet is why I can write I Want My Country Back"!
