I love God, I love my country. I love my guns. I love my family. I love the way it is now, and anybody that tries to change it has to come through me. That should be all of our attitudes. Cause this is America, and a country boy is good enough for me. - See more at: http://pencefh.com/tribute/details/1090/Tanner_Uriah_Ward/obituary.html#tribute-start ~ The Pence Reese Funeral Home, Newton, Iowa 24 Sept 2015.
