I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE
FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
We must never forget who gets the
credit for the freedoms we have, of
which we should be eternally grateful.
I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud.
With hair cut square and eyes alert,
he'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil;
how many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE !
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
and felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
that Taps had meant 'Amen.'
When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
of fathers, sons and
husbands with interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard,
at the bottom of the sea.
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
This is a phenomenal story.
This should be required listening for every American,
especially our President & Vice P.
Please take a few minutes and see what
one Medal of Honor recipient did to earn the highest award.
Watch and listen until the end --------AMAZING!!!
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us.. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts
they perform for us in our time of need.. In Jesus Name, Amen.'

Freedom Isn't Free...
Some Paid For It!
Patriotism needs to be rekindled in our schools...
I hope this sweeps our country and gets sung in all our schools.
The music teacher wrote the song and had all the third graders sing.
From the third graders of Tussing Elementary
Colonial Heights, Virginia.
Enjoy this great message.

Missing In Action, Prisoners Of War
Lord, I'm here to take a stand
For all those missing from our land
Missing in action, prisoners of war
Lord, bring them home to America once more.
When America needed them they were there
Lord, let us show them we care
It may not be an easy task
But let us bring them home at last.
Lord, put an end to all their turmoil
Bring back home to Americam soil
Missing in action, prisoners of war
Lord, bring them home to America once more.

THANK YOU FOR OUR FREEDOM!
Your forever in our Hearts, Thoughts & Prayers.
God Bless You All. Rest In Peace for a job
I Hear Them Calling
I hear them calling in the night
When my world is calm and quiet.
They speak to me in words I would not hear
Yet their voices won't be silenced.
They beseech me with whispers
Asking, "Why were we left?"
They cannot understand.
The wind carries their questions.
The stars shine down as tears.
The moon becomes their faces.
And I have no answer worth speaking.
Dennis Johnson
