Nodding off? I understand that. I'm off in 20 minutes. Good night and sleep well, radu. God bless you good for all the support you give your guys and gals, and the Canteen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AP, for the pillow for our Military, their families, and our allies.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'd never seen one of "those" in action before. It sure looked wonderful hauling "him" down this morning. Splat!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well Radix. God bless you good, and God bless and watch over 2LT RJR. Thank you both for your service to our country.

2LT RJR

Thank you, Lowell Green! Thanks, cote, that was nice to hear.

Oh no, Seven, how sad for those kids and their parents. May they rest in peace.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Tom and Lily!! Thank you so much for dropping by today to help honor our troops, celebrate the beginnings of freedom for the Iraqis, and offering a prayer for the safety of all our military men and women. Over 60? Too hot! LOL! Stay safe you two.

The Flower Grew in the Dark

How can it be?
From under the snow
The flowers emerge
And begin to grow

How can it be?
The seed that dies
Goes into the ground
Only to arise

How can the humble
The meek and the lost
Find redemption again?
Only at great cost

How can a people
Break the tyrant's chain?
If the strong will help them
They can rise again

Miracles happen
Every single day
If we will only work
If we will only pray

"So don't let up on the prayer support
Don't leave them hanging or stop just short
Pray them through until they come back
Our God can supply anything they lack "

We will not leave them hanging. God bless them all for helping to keep America free, while they free Iraq.

Chapped tulips: Winter has one last surprise for tulips at Hershey Gardens in Hershey, Pa.

"How can it be?
From under the snow
The flowers emerge
And begin to grow"

Not all Iraqi advances are rebuffed: British soldier Samantha Sheppard of the 2nd Light Tank Regiment accepts a flower while patrolling east Basra, Iraq.

We have had a great day Kathy.

May there be many more.

BTTT!!!!!

And to end my day on a light note, before I crash face first into my keyboard (Don't tell radu):

My dog ate the cutlery: Yep, Jake the Staffordshire bull terrier mix has a taste for fine British steel, as this x-ray reveals in Merseyside, England. Jake's owners became concerned when the puppy wouldn't curl up and took him to the vet. Surgery to remove the knife was performed immediately.

Looks delicious, but, oh, what a tummy ache: Post-op Jake, fully recovered, eyes the not-easily-digested knife held by his owner, John Mallett of Liverpool, England.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Time for bed. God Bless all our troops, their families, our veterans and our Canadian, Israeli, Great Britain, Australian, Poland, New Zealand and Taiwanese allies. We pray for your safe and soon return. Thank you for doing the jobs you do to keep this UNITED STATES OF AMERICA safe. We love all of you.

Thank you Lurker, Toby, Tom Cat, Kyle, Joe, Jake, the Z-Tar, Sneakers, Scully and the Pirates, Brook, Leatherneck Rangler Jody, Cory, Jimmy, Winky, Chez, Martin, John, David C, Parker, Michael, Smitty, David, and Carol for being part of our family. Thank you to all who enter the Canteen. Salute!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

And thanks to Scully and the Pirates, TSgt Munnell, Peter and Greg for your support.

Ms. Feather, I wouldn't talk about "dang pingers" on this site. It is a FAMILY site after all. Little "eyes" might be listening....
