Veteran's Memorial Reminds Us of Our Blessings

Ben Stein's DREEMZ By Wednesday, 04 February 2015 10:05 AM EST Current | Bio | Archive

Bob Denman, Major, U.S. Army, was laid out in an open coffin. I gave a short talk about Bob’s extraordinary heroism and modesty. What a blessing, I thought. What an incredible, unbelievable blessing, for my wife and me to get to live in this friendly, open, welcoming America.

There is plenty to complain about, for sure. But this is the best place there has ever been in the history of the world. This America. This Little Rock. This slice of paradise defended by men like Bob, so writes Ben Stein the The American Spectator.

Ben Stein is a writer, actor, and lawyer, who served as a speechwriter in the Nixon administration as the Watergate scandal unfolded. He began his unlikely road to stardom when director John Hughes cast him as the numbingly dull economics teacher in the urban comedy, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
