Freedom comes wrapped in many different packages.

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Iraq is said to be calm during elections, at least that is what is being carried on Drudge at this hour.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Iran, pronouncements by the President of that country have stirred strongly negative reactions in Europe, and certainly in Israel--the target of the commentary about being wiped off the Earth. Germany has recalled her diplomat, while President Bush has called the Islamic republic a "real threat". The Iranian President has also stated the Holocaust is nothing but a myth, and that Israel should be moved as far away as Alaska.
The contract between the MTA and the transit workers in the New York metropolitan area expires Friday, and workers are set to go on strike. New York mayor Bloomberg says such a strike would be "devastating."
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
LET'S ROLL!!!
Good evening!!
I hold no hope that that signifies an awakening in Europe.
The above link goes to a transcript of the speech. Don't forget to dip your index finger in purple ink, food coloring or some type of dye to show unity with the Iraqi people. This has been a wonderful year for freedom. A free Iraq means a safer America.

I don't think we have a choice in dealing with the Persians. Iran's president, and probably most of the ruling mullahs are nuts. If Iran has a successful nuke test, then all bets are off. Time to raise the balloon.

Great pic. It reminds me of a commercial...
One Marine battalion fully equipped, $24 million.
One completely reconstructed Iraqi hospital, $52 million.
One purple index finger, priceless.

Morning is breaking over Iraq...it is currently 5:48 am in Baghdad... December 15,2005....polls will be opening soon.
Did you ever think we would see this day. It's been a helluva ride since September 11, 2001.
Thanks for the start!
Yes, but the ride ain't over yet.
No, I didn't. Getting rival clans, nomadic tribes, different religions, etc. that hate each other to form a government with a constitution is truly amazing. And the Iraqis did it in less than three years. It took our Founding Fathers much longer.

The dreaded red X......oh no....:-)
Well, I left you a post on the old thread.
The gist of it was, your tagline is great!
Helluva ride indeed.
Your weather sounds absolutely balmy - we just brought in the brass monkey here.
Thanks for the prayers. Really. Truly.
I'm playing for this Christmas show every day this week......it's a "Fred Waring" style production.......one of his signature songs was "Battle Hymn Of The Republic"........so we end each show with it. The director always makes a point of saying that we are performing it in honor of our veterans and active duty military........and he asks all veterans and parents/spouses/siblings of active duty military to stand up and be honored.
I am so proud to stand up in my son's honor each time he says this.
Today, though, it "got" to me..........and I left the theater a bit teary. The closer it gets to Christmas, the more I miss him..........sigh..........
