Ash Wednesday is upon us. A great time for fasting and mortification.
Mozie... We are always going to have people out there that so ignorant of history, and what our role in this world is all about.
Most people don't know that we pulled out of southeast Asia in the seventies millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians were murdered and imprisoned; albeit Pol Pot, or the North Vietnamese.
I continue to remind myself that evil will truimph if good men and women do nothing. It is up to face up to evil and beat it back. This faction of Islam wants to dominate and control the world. They brutalize women and prevent children from being educated. They strap bombs to the mentally retarded and send them into market squares to be denotonated. What would these people have us do? Ignore the plight of our fellow man.
I remember talking to my father during the Vietnam war. (He flew B-29's out of Guam during World War 2.) I asked him if he wanted me to be drafted. He said, "No... I would rather have you join of your own free will so that you can do good for others. That is what God commands of us!" I have never forgotten that.
A few years later I did enlist. I have nothing but the greatest of admiration for all those who are serving our country, whether they are stateside or in harm's way overseas. They are the heroes we need so desperately today. They are willing to give the last fullmeasure of devotion and ask nothing in return.
Don't let the bastards get you down. They know very little of sarcrifice. They are only interested in their own comfort zone, otherwise they wouldn't have the attitude they do.
God bless Ev, and Jemian's son. All who serve are our heroes forever. God will bless them, and you in adundance.
Jay, very well written statement and so true.
AMEN!!
