[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I just signed the national "I SUPPORT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" petition to support our President's actions in the war against terror and wants you do the same. Click below to stand with our Commander In Chief:

CLICK HERE TO SIGN PETITION

Jane Fonda, Oliver Stone, West Wing's Martin Sheen, Gloria Steinem, Rev. Al Sharpton and others have taken part in a national effort to "Resist the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush Administration. It is unjust, immoral and illegitimate."

The organization is calling itself NION (Not In Our Name), and already more than 200,000 have joined the celebrity elite in this brutal attempt to undermine our President's policies.

Using the Internet, and major media outlets, they are openly and viciously attacking President Bush by stating that their goal is to "resist the policies and overall political direction that have emerged since September 11, 2001."

As Americans who love our God, and country, this is outrageous!

* * * * A CALL TO ACTION! * * * *

We are tired of the celebrity elite stealing away our voice on key issues that affect our nation by proclaiming:

NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE LIBERTY-LOVING CITIZENS OF OUR GREAT NATION TO RISE UP AND SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT IN THE FACE OF THESE DAMAGING ASSAULTS BY CLICKING BELOW:

CLICK HERE TO SIGN PETITION

Through this national effort, Grassfire.net wants to deliver more than 100,000 signed petitions as quickly as possible to the White House, key leaders in Congress, and to the NION advisory board.

Here's how YOU can help ...

* * * ACTION ITEM #1 --SIGN THE PETITION

We are calling on every American to sign our national "I SUPPORT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" petition.

Click below to sign:

CLICK HERE TO SIGN PETITION

And after signing, we are asking you to forward this message to 20-30 of your freedom-loving friends--urging them to stand with the President and against the liberal-minded message of Jane Fonda, Oliver Stone and others by signing the petition as well!

Thank you for lending your voice in the growing chorus of support for our Commander In Chief!

Grassfire.net Real Impact. Read Feedback. Real Results.

P.S. Just one year ago, political leaders from both sides of the aisle as well as the Hollywood elite rallied behind our President. Now, just one year later, the radical left is undermining the President while our servicemen and women are defending our way of life!

To counter NION's efforts, we are asking you to help us double, even triple their efforts as soon as possible. Please join the thousands of others who are urging Congress to support the Commander In Chief, today!

I received this tonight from my bestest buddy on the USS Constellation and he asked me to post it here for him. He said he wrote this to help people who don't know what it's like to be in the military have a better understanding. I think it's beautiful. So this is from my bestest buddy, David, for the enjoyment of all who come to the Canteen in support of our military, past and present.

THE DAY OF THE SAILOR

Awakening to the sound of a whistle being blown
He slips from sleeping to moving like a drone,
Showering and dressing for another day of work
He says 'what's up with a bit of a quirk;
Heading to the mess decks to get a bite of grub
His first mornings' cup of Java makes him alert with a jump,
Ready to take on another workday at sea
Knowing soon enough one day soon home he will be;
Helping his customers throughout his busy day
Wanting to be anywhere around but away,
Finishing his workday and moving to his studies
To welcome the night playing cards with his buddies;
The hours slip by as drowsiness draws near
Having prepared for the worse he has nothing to fear,
The Navy's taught him how to live
How to work, eat and sleep,
And how to move steadily about
Without even a slight peep;
Having learned how to prepare against chemical attacks
And how to save himself in biological and radiological attacks,
His brain holds information that most people only wish for
So at the end of the night he can head for the door;
Having shared his knowledge with whom he lives
The gift of lifesaving is his most precious gift,
Heading to bed at the end of the long night
He knows in his sleep the others will keep things right;
He does it for freedom and to see faraway lands exotic
He knows there's nothing more true than a heart that's patriotic.

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.

.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

KATHY!

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

In a small town, farmers of the community had gotten
together to discuss some important issues. About
midway through the meeting, a wife of one of the
farmers stood up and spoke her piece.

When she was done, one of the old farmers stood up
and said, "What does she know about anything? I would
like to ask her if she knows how many toes a pig has?"

Quick as a flash, the woman replied, "Take off your
boots sir, and count them yourself!"

[B4Ranch]

Happy Birthday, Kathy. Hope you have many, many more with your friends and family.
