God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Daisyscarlett; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thanks for another great column, JH2. I do wish all these dems would do as McCain suggested that Carter and Clinton do....SHUT UP....

Here is a picture of Sistah Souljah which I "forgot" to include in the article....That's her in front, sitting down....

Here are some donuts to munch on while you read John's 2 Cents...GailA will be along shortly with some fresh perked coffee....

0400 here and rain has stopped, finally, after two days. Most of crew asleep except for self, Thud, and muttering Pippin, who has worked the Middle Watch.

Again, many thanks to the many FReepers who helped me get through yesterday.

Today we will dock off Ensenada. We will be here until Sunday morning. It is Madi Gras (Scroll Down). Crew is granted shore leave until 2200 Saturday. Meek, humblegunner, and lodwick are expected to have a good time, but are assingned SP duty to watch after certain crew.

The locals may not appreciate LadyX and Billie doing their infamous fan dance. Especially watch that daisyscarlett avoids the tequila cocktails. She collects those cute little paper unbrellas and feels the need to empty the glasses to get them.

Ship's physician WVNan has her 2x4 and prayer book ready for attitude adjustments and the brig is clean and awaits occupants.

Have You Forgotten

Darryl Worley

Written by Darryl Worley and Wynn Varble

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

CHORUS 1

Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for

CHORUS 2

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

Ah-ha! 'Could the Iraqi leader be mulling a run for the Democrat nomination himself?', many Democrats were probably nervously asking themselves. 'If he's not, why propose a debate?'

{{{{{{{{{{{JH2}}}}}}}}}}}} - I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything potentially fatal to my keyboard while reading that!

Excellent satire....even without the "disclaimer" at the end, I knew where you were going with this. *Beautiful* as always!

{{{{{{{{{{{daisyscarlett}}}}}}}}}}}} - so wonderful to see your byline again! Hope you have a fabulous day doing what you do so well....being a Finest Sistah Hostess!

Good Morning ALL...you NAILED it again John. Maybe Aqua can find the music that goes with Darryl Worley's excellent song for us and post it. It was real touching when I caught the tail end of it this morning on Steve Gill's show out of Nashville.

Coffee's on

[dansangel]

Good Morning {{{{{Cap'n}}}}}.

Thank-you for the leave time, sir. Will attempt to not imbibe too much fruit of the vine. Hangover/seasickness is not much fun to handle.

[JohnHuang2]

even without the "disclaimer" at the end, I knew where you were going with this.

Drats! Can't fool anyone anymore!

hehehe :^)

Thanks, my friend..and

'Morning {{{{{{{{{Meekie}}}}}}}}}

Hope all of that nasty ice stuff melts away for you today.

Aren't you glad we're experiencing "global warming?" Sheesh!

[dansangel]

Drats! Can't fool anyone anymore!

That's not to say you didn't "have me going there" for a minute. :-) Beautifully done.

I feel a tad better now...hehehe ;^)
