"We owe you a debt of gratitude that shall never be forgotten!"

We will never forget, Northern Yankee, we will never forget.

And thank you too for your service to our country.

Thanks for posting all this fantastic music for the troops and Canteen crew, MoJo. You always pick out a great variety....a little something for everyone.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, yonif, for stopping in and helping us remember those who lost their lives defending our freedoms.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Amen, TEX, Amen. Thank you for this wonderful prayer of remembrance and protection.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Fuzzy monitor report about Ann Margaret and the vet. Thanks, Dubya.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my, Linda, what a great read about our Medal of Honor military men. And the story about the flag was quite an interesting piece of history. Thanks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Interesting recipe, radu. Hope you had fun at the party.

[Kathy in Alaska]

For breakfast. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my, Ragtime, my all time favorite: Kate Smith. And Battle Hymn of the Republic is a favorite as well. Thanks for sharing them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What wonderful eats, Ragtime. The troops will love it. Radu, I get the roast beef and you get the winter veggies. Sharing is good, right?

[radu]

hehehe! My Dad sent that recipe today...er, yesterday, and I got a giggle out of it.

We enjoyed the Christmas party. The couple who threw it invite us every year and are wonderful hosts. It's always nice to get together with our friends during the holidays.

This is the first year I didn't have to drive home...my hubby didn't drink tonight for some reason. I must be rubbing off on him. LOL!

I'm in the "kitchen" cooking up some breakfast. Getting close to sunrise and you know what sunlight can do to a vampire. giggle!

[radu]

That sounds like a winner to me. No waste that way. hehehe! And when we're done with the meat and veggies, we can dive into that CAKE!!! YUM!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

My pleasure, Phil.

Candles for Ted Maher and his family.

"The American fighting force is the finest in the world because it's made in America, of Americans."

Cannot be said enough!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sunlight is not good for vampires. I keep fading in and out, so I'm not too far behind you. Sleep well and God bless you for your support of our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies. See ya later today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless your grandfather and we thank him for his service to our country.

[radu]

I can imagine you are tired. You've had a busy day, saying good bye in California and flying home. I hope you had a great time during your vacation.

Get a good sleep and I'll see you later. I'm almost finished with breakfast and will gather up the kitties to sleep with me soon.

Thank you for your staunch support of our troops, vets, and their families Kathy. I'm sure they appreciate it very much.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Kid, for today's selections of music. Something for everybody. I haven't heard Donna Fargo in forever. And Willie Nelson is almost always good. Guess what my 2 cats names are? LOL! And This Little Light of Mine requires playing over and over.

I'm pretending to help with all these great selections for our military, past and present, and their families.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, redrock, for the "Never Forget" bump! Very important that we always remember what our military has done for us in the past, and is doing for us now. WE WILL NOT FORGET!

[Kathy in Alaska]

*HUG* Long day, but home safe and sound. Thanks for the prayer of protection. In Los Angeles we couldn't get to our departure terminal because the police had it shut down. Finally opened a half hour later. No clue to what was going on.

Good morning (-:
