I'm a Persian Gulf War Veteran and my older brother wil soon retire from the Army like my father did from the Coast Guard. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Independence Day In the year of 1776 That paper was decreed - They were tired of oppression And wanted to be freed. They wrote a Declaration So the whole world would see This was, "the home of the brave And the land of the free". They signed that piece of parchment The leaders of this land Knowing, divided they would fall But, together they could stand. A new world lay before them Untamed from shore to shore - They swore the would protect it If it meant going to war. Battles have been fought And many lives have been lost - So sad something so basic Has such a high, high cost. Seems freedom is a luxury There's some would bind us all - Like then, together, we can stand But divided, we will fall. More than two hundred years Have past by since that day That each of us celebrate In our own different way. We should be proud and thankful Pay a share of the cost - Not take freedom for granted For it easily could be lost By Del “Abe” Jones Listed April 24, 2009 ![]() |

![]() and even was used in almost the entire construction of ships & log books, uniforms, decking, maps, Flags, ropes, almost everything was made of hemp.. ![]() during World War & world War II even the US Government paid people to grow hemp that was needed to build things used in the Military ... ![]() that's why we see the word Hemp in People's Names & in the Names of Towns because of their involvement in the hemp production.. ![]() until unscrupulous people like william randall hearst ![]() ![]() ![]() & spread horrible propaganda in their newspapers ![]() to get the evil lies out ![]() ![]() read.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() www.theemperorswearsnoclothes.com if hemp were legal again ![]() ![]() ![]() the production of paper & fabric would be done here not overseas ![]() there would be way less impact on the environment ![]() because it is much easier to process than wood is ![]() it would cost much less to manufacture ![]() and it would keep our rivers & streams and oceans Much Cleaner ![]() ![]() |

Whoa...I thought this was about the troops thread??
Hemp is hemp...it was once used widely for many things...not to smoke. It was later grown and made potent to get high on. The true hemp was stronger and makes many things. I am all for them growing it for clothes homes, what have ya....but.......well, you know how I feel. God bless our troops...this fourth of July and always. We...our church and community are getting together to make many boxes to send to my sons unit (units). There are some who get nothing from home. I talked to him today...he sounds depressed. I am worried about him. He has seen things that are bothering him. He is also beginning to worrry about his reception coming home by his wife. Not that she has done anything wrong....but he keeps hearing stories from others how their wives are messing around and he sees the guys doing it too. There are women there that are making him feel less trusting. He keeps hearing that divorces (and separation) are high after deployment. That the kids feel distant...that part is killing him. I am going to try and talk to him soon. I was hoping tomorrow....but volunteered to work early after I told him I would be home in the morning. Please help me in keeping prayers for him and his family and those others that need intervention from a higher power. Thanks Kat |
