Thank you veterans

When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?
~George Canning

surely not! Thank you vets.

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free," and they served to make men free, too. I am grateful for their service. I hope you are too.

Freedom...is always worth the sacrifice

Wow! PLEASE take just a moment to watch this political ad. It is 1:55 and worth it. I like this one especially because there is a video going around where you can put yourself into the video. Everybody is agog and loving the fact that you can 'see yourself' in it. In the video below, there are no gizmos, it's only a simple statement of an ad, showing a soldier speaking who put himself on the line... for me. Big difference.

Memorial day: thank you

This scene is of Comer Georgia. It seems to be the quintessential American scene, birdhouse, white picket fence, US flag. Is this what Memorial Day is all about?


Or this, the New England cape, the northern states where the Revolution happened? The long history and the quaint decorated homes lining the street where the parade will come?


Or this, families at the park, grilling and playing?







Naw. It's about the soldiers who sacrificed for us. The ones who died in battle, or afterward from disease or injuries. It's about the brave protecting the weak. The strong who stood ready but whom have finished their race. To these I say, thank you!
