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

"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour,
and be in readiness for the conflict;
for it is better for us to perish in battle than to
look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be."

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Did you have a safe and carefree commute?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Now is the time for us to do something.

If the feds arrest our WWII heroes — if they lay one damn hand on them — it is up to every FReeper, nee, every AMERICAN, to march on DC!!!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

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

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!

Closing any of the monuments in DC was only to show how “powerful” he is, how he is in charge of everything.

The monuments are on open ground, you can’t close the doors.

I’m hoping that more of the fences are breeched. I also hope that more senators and house members go out there and do the removing themselves. This would be noticed.

Keep your phones and cameras handy...youtube will go viral!!

Same as cutting off tours of the White House. “I am the boss and whatever I say is gospel.” What an idiot!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home....

[luvie]

Aw...ya left before I even had a chance to say hello! Nighty-night, Conor! ((((hugs))))

[luvie]

God bless our troops...
....and bring them home safely...NOW!!
ALways remembering them!
