Please do not forget this important day. Thank you to all the service men and women who have served or are serving to protect this country.
Never forget...

I totally agree TEXASCOP2, with reservation on one point. I believe, with a lot of optimism that there is still a lot of heart in our great country, especially with our young men and women fighting two wars as we speak and the rest of us facing one rising in our own land. Through history and in wars in our own country to secure our freedom from repression there have always been warriors willing to take up the fight, there have always been those who would not fight and those who did not know they had the fight in them until the ugly bastard looked them in the eyes.
I have been fortunate to know several friends from WW11 to present day in the middle east and am thankful for thier bravery.
I think we {present company included} have an responsibility to teach those that do not understand that freedom has to be in our hearts before it can be excercised in our minds and daily lives.
Texas cop2 , after rereading this I hope that you know I am at your side.I get emotional sometimes about these things and tend to get on a roll.
WHEH! Havent spoken that much in days.
Bless Our Troops
Merry Christmas
"The Greatest Generation" is now passing away at a dreadful pace.
If you know a WW2 vet, be sure and listen to his accounts and record them, either on audio or video or simply write them down. When these heroes are gone so are their stories. I have watched the Military Channel all day!
I doubt Americans will ever unify again like we did in 1941-45. Present company excluded, we have no heart for a fight anymore. Sad...
