God bless & keep all who serve in defense of this Republic & her Constitution...and particularly may He rest all those who have given the last full measure of devotion in that service.
That includes my Uncle Albert Spacil, my mom's only brother & my dear, deceased grandparent's only son. He died in a B-17 over Germany in 1944. God continue to rest his soul until we're all gathered over yonder, across Jordan in our Father's Kingdom.
...and may God grant that we have the strength, courage, conviction, virtue, and faith to stand in our turn against the internal tyranny and marxism that has taken root amongst us and halt its growth in 2010, and then route the vipers out on a rail in 2012!
America has paid the price of freedom in its own blood, both here on our own shores, and abroad throughout the world. From Concord, to Bunker Hill, to Trenton, to Lake Champlain, to Valley Forge, to Cowpens, to Yorktown...to Tripoli...to Ft. Mieg, to Lake Erie, to Horseshoe Bend, to Chippewa and to New Orleans... to The Alamo, San Jacinto, Buena Vista, Palo Alto, Monterrey and the Halls of Montezuma...to Bull Run (twice), Antietam, Fredericksburg, Shiloh, Vicksburg, The Wilderness, Gettysburg, Atlanta and Appomattox...to Manila Bay, Guantanamo Bay, to Santiago and San Juan Hill...to Chateau Thierry and the Argonne Forest...to Pearl Harbor, North Africa, Sicily, Italy, to Normandy, Luxembourg, to islands and atolls throughout the Pacific, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, to the Philippines...throughout Korea...to Granada and Panama to Kuwait to Fallujah, the Debecka Pass, Nasiriyah, Haditha, Baghdad, Al Anbar, Mosel, Ramadi and throughout the Sunni Triangle...to Mazari Sharif, to Kabul, to Takur Ghar, to Kandahar, to Tora Bora, to Operation Anaconda and throughout Afghanistan to name but a small few. Americans have shed their blood by the millions for freedom, and that freedom stretches from the United States throughout the world.
Let us never forget it...for should we forget it, or allow our elected representatives to do so (which the current batch of quislings is doing with a will), that is the day that we will place all of our lives and liberty in abject jeopardy.
Hard to type through tears.Thanks Jeff.
We don’t see these images enough.They should be shown on TV and on billboards every day.
You left out Vietnam.
God Bless all who have given their lives to protect ours, and prayers of gratitude and safety for those vigilent warriors who stand up to shield us from our enemies.
Thank you for posting those pictures, Jeff. They are very moving and my eyes are suddenly full of tears. :)
Thank you
