Hope you are having a beautiful Monday.

I am having a perfectly lovely & lazy Monday.:)

Complete with not one but TWO emails from my soldier; just small ones, nothing important, but even a small email tells me he's okay and that is BIG.:-)

GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!



The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!





Corporal Stephen Bolger - British Special Forces - KIA 30MAY2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)


Amazing Grace



Black Watch Piper

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

so great to hear from your son.. I wish mine was a “communicator”.. he isn’t. When I call HIM we have great chats but rarely does he call me & he doesn’t do computers or snail mail. I dont do snail mail either.

praying for Ev.. as always

Our daylilies might be a couple weeks behind you.

It has stayed cool here for the most part and blooming has been delayed this season. Love the cool!

Thank you, Yorkie.

I need to make some new flower and bird graphics. I think I have used most of the ones I have.

Have a lovely evening.

I had a dentist appt this afternoon. I needed another filling! Ughhhh.

Hope this is the last one for a few years. If he can’t save this tooth, he will need to replace it with a two tooth bridge.

I missed my afternoon nap. Oh Well .... maybe I will get two tomorrow. :)
