I'm going to speak a bit here so everyone will understand but I have no intention of speaking again after this.

This is going to be my way of saying thank you to all men and women that have given of themselves to allow all of us the lives we so enjoy living here at home.

I also feel that a lot of times words get in the way and these men and women and thier families get tired of hearing and just want to know they are appreciated and respected for what they do everyday.

Yes, I know you all say you're just doing a job but to me you are heroes!!!

To those that have gone before, those that are there now, those that will come, and to the families that are left behind... I will remember.

i'm not capable of putting these pics up, but i honor all people by the hundreds of millions....some long forgotten in time, and some today, this moment, that have fought for emperors, dictators, kings, presidents, biblical icons, and for just and fair causes, that were fighting others wars for them, and had or didn't have a choice in the matter, for the courage to face what must be faced, not knowing of the cheat of war, and none-there-fair, that eludes all training, and becomes the irrational reason for the why of what cause, for no "cause" is strong enough, lest the exception for oppression of free will. freedom and love is the only cause that should ever be, and if it was world-wide, there would be no need....only neighborhoods would seed.

Amen ...Hi there Vicki...
Love and hugs to you too my dear Little Sis ...
thank you sooo much for thinking of me
& thanks for the personal invitation
to join you on this thread ......

of course i'm on it...

I just got back this evening from a long tiring month
up in Washington State with some real intensive work
and energy invested in helping my hard working
amazing Mother who cannot walk any longer
and has atrial fibrilation
and other life threatening illnesses
get into a much needed place of rest for her ...
a brand new assisted living residence


i met four soldiers at the airport today

two of whom were soo handsome & soo cool
& soo cute and soo loving and absolutely wonderful
and they both gave me big hugs and spoke with me
and they thanked me for the prayer threads online
& for my love and appreciation

it is soo amazing how a little love & thankfulness
goes such a long way
with our beloved and brave soldiers

I Thank God everyday
and every time i think of it
for all of them
