PING!

Everyone, please take a moment to say a prayer for our soliders who are being held captive, and for those who have lost their lives in defense of freedom.

I am doing just that throughout every day. I bet lots of us are.

This was read at a Rally in Sarasota last Saturday:

The Soldier

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Good evening all.

It has not been difficult to 'pray without ceasing' in the last couple of days. May God give rest to our weary troops, bravery when called to fight, faith when times are trying and peace in the midst of choas and confusion. In the name of Jesus, Amen....

Does anyone know what the initials MAL stand for in a Marine postal address?

Good evening everyone. I hope you all are holding up okay.

I just want to let you all know that the support for President Bush and our Troops are out there in large numbers. Sometimes we may not see all the real support that's out there because it's burried under all the liberal BS that the media throws at us. But the liberal media aren't real folks. They don't live real lives and they certainly don't represent real folks. They just think they do.

During my travels over spring break, I saw so many bumper stickers in support of the President and the Troops. One man had a sticker that said "Sportsmen for Bush." A woman had a "Bush Cheney" sticker on her van. An older couple had an "I support President Bush" sticker. This among all the American flag stickers on cars is just a little of what I've seen.

We were driving through Lake Havasu Az to visit some family and just about every house had an American Flag waiving. I also saw at least two of thsoe "Don't Tread on Me" flags. On the street that my parents live on, there is an American Flag flying from almost every yard, and one of our close neighbors had a sign that says "Support our Troops."

Plus, I just found out that my Great Aunt and Uncle and their kids (who live in Riverside California) are super Republican. They hate what the left and the media is doing to mkae Bush look like the eveil guy. They are behind him 100%.

Anyways, I know that quite a few of you are watching a lot of news and I didn't want you to get discouraged by all the negative coverage that you might be seeing. The PResident and our Troops have tons and tons of support, and it's not just from us here at Free Republic. I'm sure you have all witnessed this first hand at pro America rallies. The liberal media just doesn't want us to see all the support that's out there.

Keep your chins up. We will get through this. Our Troops are giong to make us proud, like always. Prayers for all of them, and to the family members who have lost loved ones. God Bless (and thanks for listening.)

And please, everyone, don't forget to pray for the families of those held captive by Saddam.

Our prayers will be sweet incense to our Lord. He wants our intercessions, our loyalty to Him.

[Inspectorette]

rintense, next morning thanks. Mr. Inspectorette and I pray daily for our brave troops, especially the ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and for those who are being held captive.
