I think that Lee Greenwood said it best:
From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee
across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.
there's pride in every American heart,
and it's time to stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the Men who've died,
and gave that right to me,
and I'll gladly stand UP
Next to you
and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I LOVE THIS LAND !!!!!!!
God BLESS the USA.

Sad fact#1 An estimated 30% of our homeless in America are veterans.
Sad fact#2 The amount of attempted suicides of our returning veterans is almost 400% more than any other time, with approx 2,700 attempts in the last 4 years. I pray that they all would use sporks, and not real knives or guns.

May God bless the American fighting Woman and Man (and our allies too)

Thank you, I can't tell you how much we appreciate it when people do and say things like this for us. Yes, I'm currently overseas in Iraq. Don't be sad for us, it's our job. We look out for each other, we're all family out here... every soldier will do their best to make sure their brother and sister soldiers come home safe.



Dear Peacekeeper... smokin

I am thinking of you Brother drinker

and all the other Soldiers smokin

for all the inconvenience you go through
and all the heroic deeds you do

you put yourselves in harm's way :cry:
to keep war at bay
far away from the U S of A :heart:

your unceasing efforts to bring peace
and healing to the innocent war victims

thank you for your amazing love
bravery & dedication drinker
