THIS SAYS IT ALL! Shalom....
-------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- My Brother sent me this today via email... Letter from one 'Angry Woman' I don't know who wrote it but they should have signed it. Some powerful words. This woman should run for president. Written By a housewife from New Jersey And sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady. 'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac From our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or Crushing death that day, or didn't they? And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when An overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?..Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out And fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment Liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move Because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and Other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it- I don't care !! If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add: 'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald Reagan I have another quote that I would like to add AND.....I hope you forward all this. 'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' Also by.. Ronald Reagan One last thought for the day: In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by One of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.' Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Dare Greatly It is not the critic who counts; nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)~ |

Ladies and Gentlemen im here in Ga and wishin i was in Cali or Texas...typical Army BS here nothin more nothin less Will , it's been so much fun talking to you on the phone You & your buddy Jesse are hilarious... You & crack me up I wish you were here in California, too... The weather is perfect...Oh, so nice... You would just love it... We could go to Lake Tahoe, and view the gorgeous North Shore, my favorite part of Lake Tahoe... South Shore is nice too, but i'm not into gambling in the casinos... I feel that Life is too much of a gamble as it is... and i really don't care for that whole scene, the noise & the neon lights or any of the nightlife, doesn't impress me one bit I'm more of a country girl... Then after we explored the Sierra Nevada Mountains a bit, we could take a cruise to the Bay Area & go to the beach, hear and watch the soothing waves roll in, smell the salt water , watch the sandpipers and other coastline birds along the shore feel the warmth of the California sun , & the ocean breezes, eat some yummy food and drink juices & teas ... and your other buddies, Johnny Walker & Jose Cuervo wanted to welcome you home in style, too But, take it easy, not too much of that fire water |

Hi Venessa, You make me feel extremely lazy.... Now if I would actually get up and ecersize... LOL hahahaha... you are so funny Sherry... I'm sure there are a lot of things you have done & still do , that would make me very tired and feel lazy too... I am one very sore & tired puppy today... that is for sure... I haven't ridden twenty miles a day for quite some time, and the trafffic was crazy as usual...Dam*, people are in such insane hurries... they can't even let me cross the intersection without pulling in front of me with their huge loud diesel & gas guzzling SUV's it's so sad and so pathetic..... and it was rather warm, too, so i got overheated as i rode over and as i drove down their street, i was immediately immersed in & surrounded by the lovely fragrances of roses & jasmine & other sweet flowers... and tall towering trees swaying in the breeze. I also worked helping my Daughter get the place ready for a house full of ten year old boys and my daughter also wanted me to help keep my precious four year old Granddaughter occupied, so we watered the flowers & read books on a blanket out on the grass, with the beautiful sun sparkling so radiantly shining in brilliant rainbow colored rays through the graceful swaying branches of the majestic tall trees Love and support for the troops.... AMEN !!!! Much Love and eternal support For the Troops |

This poem is For Soldier for America, & for for Wiccan Cowboy Will & for Will's awesome Buddy, Jesse the One who recently rolled his truck... & for All the Other Brave Soldiers who recently Returned Home & for All Our Brave & Awesome Soldiers as You Return Home ~ We Love All of You The Soldier In a crowd you're bound to spot him, He's standing so very tall Not too much impresses him; He's seen and done it all. His hair is short, his eyes are sharp, But his smile's a little blue. It's the only indication of the hell that he's gone through. He belongs to a sacred brotherhood, Always Faithful 'til the end. He has walked right into battle and walked back out again. Many people think him foolish for having no regrets about having lived through many times what others would try to forget. He's the first to go and last to know, But never questions why, On whether it is right or wrong, But only do or die. He walks a path most won't take and has lost much along the way, but he thinks a lot of freedom, it's a small price to pay. Yes, he has chosen to live a life Off the beaten track, Knowing well each time he's called, He might not make it back. So, next time you see a Soldier Standing proud and true, Be grateful for all he's given; He's given it for you. Don't go up and ask him What's it's like to be in war; Just thank God that it's your country He's always fighting for. And thank him too for all the hell He's seen in that shade of green; thank him for having the guts to be a United States Soldier. Author Unknown |
