Thank you for being who you are. America doesnt deserve you but we desperately need you, and as the true nature of the enemy becomes more obvious I hope and pray that you will finally be given the respect you deserve.
I think you are right about the NORMAL people but, as you so rightly point out, we don't hear much from them in the media these days.
Thank you so much for the kind words! They mean more to me than you can possibly imagine! YOU are a great American!
My buddy who is a former SEAL sent me this, which I very much appreciated - and pray with all my heart. I’m not sure if I’m a religious bigot or not, but if you’re not Christian I hope you will be able to accept the thoughts expressed in the spirit of appreciation in which they are given:
Dear FATHER IN HEAVEN,
If I may respectfully say so sometimes you are a strange God. Though you love all mankind, It seems you have a special predilection too.
You seem to love those men who can stand up alone who face impossible odds, Who challenge every bully and every tyrant ~ Those men who know the heat and loneliness of a Calvary. Possibly you cherish men of this stamp because you recognize the mark of your only son in them.
Since this unique group of men known as the SEALs know Calvary and suffering, teach them now the mystery of the resurrection ~ that they are indestructible, that they will live forever because of their deep faith in you.
And when they do come to heaven, may I respectfully warn you, Dear Father, they also know how to celebrate. So please be ready for them when they insert under your pearly gates.
Bless them, their devoted Families and their Country on this glorious occasion.
We ask this through the merits of your Son, Christ Jesus the Lord, Amen.”
