Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I pray it does. Our guys don’t need to be in the sandbox any
more. They are moving targets and the current administration
has no interest in keeping them safe from harm.

Prayers that they do stay safe, though.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Hey, I was stationed at the MHCS at Ft. Lewis from Jan ‘66 - Feb ‘67 - great place to finish out my military time, being only a half hour or so from Seattle where I spent many a happy weekend - plenty of nice people, both troopers and civilian - happy memories......

[luvie]

G’night, Conor! See ya in the morning! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi, Kathy! The temps are near 100 every day - but I just stay in, with my (electric) best friend - the AC!

And, yes - I am doing better each day, thank you so much! Hope you are staying safe, healthy and happy!

((((HUGS))))

"...but the Times they are a changin.

You are so right!

God Bless and protect our troops during these perilous times.

Band of Brothers Day

You may have served in Combat or in noncombat. You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines, BUT YOU SERVED. You did not run off to England or Canada, etc. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you Brother/Sister. You may have served during Korea, WWII,. Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run. You have a DD 214 with those words “HONORABLY DISCHARGED” the two most noble words in the world. Again I am proud to know each and every one of you.

Brother-Sister, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don’t, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands know this. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re mad. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, he just promised it would be worth it.

Today is Band of Brothers’ Day ; send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons and fellow veterans you know. Happy Brothers’ Day!

A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you.

Send to all your Band of Brothers, because the fake ones won’t.
