Flag

        Our Flag, may it fly forever free!
                   Over the Land Of The Free,
                                          And the Home of the Brave!

Thank You VETERANS!

 ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, 
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. 
 
I don't know if you saw this in the news but it
really impressed me. Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off
as they "couldn't work".

On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

They refused. "No way, Sir!"

Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.

The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.

 
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night
only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

The next time you see a man or woman in uniform, 
greet them and thank them for all that they do for you. They deserve it.

is for good men to do nothing."

For all you have done and for all you have given....THANK YOU!
