God Bless our American troops, here and abroad.
Molly, your time as church gardener was much appreciated by all, I am sure. Keeping up your home's flower beds and the church's must have been quite a job.
Lysie...french toast...yum.....thanks.
NY....your comments about the movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" were so right on.
I am incensed not because they show the human side of the Japanese fighting at Iwo Jima, but because he decides to show Americans as barbaric and without mercy. Without giving too much away in the movie, he takes the typical liberal approach to make the American soldier without conscience. Knowing how Americans have for the most part treated prisoners with mercy and kindness, Eastwood ignores that completely. He could have taken a different direction and does not!
We are a compassionate nation in times of peace and war. To depict us as something other than that does a tremendous diservice to all of the Americans who have fought and died for this country! I know that not every American soldier is honorable... but 99/100 are.
I don't think I will watch that movie. I don't think Eastwood ever had the character/backbone of someone like President Reagan...he more less blows with the wind..if it is popular to back this country, he is there, if it is popular to bash this country, he is there!!!
