I got this in an email from my Momma, who passes things like this along. My heritage is truly American, more specifically, Deep South American. Some call us rednecks. I've never taken it to be a derogatory term, because my earliest memories of my Dad and his brothers are of them in T-shirts working with my Grandpa in the back yard. Dad always had a "working-man's tan" which meant that if he took his shirt off, his skin underneath was white, white, white. His arms, neck and face were bronzed from the sun.

So, this doesn't bother me a bit. It kind of makes me proud.

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say " Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.



May the LORD bless you & yours..............
