"Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses"


It cannot be emphasized to strongly or too often
that this great nation was founded, not by religionists
but by Christians, not on religions,
but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ
For this very reason people of other faiths
have been afforded asylum, prosperity,
and freedom of worship here.

God Bless Our Military ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Lincoln and Jefferson monuments are a must see. The one thing we regret not seeing while there is the Smithsonian Institute Museum, that could take up some time but would be well worth it, I'm sure.

[Aquamarine]

Don't tell the liberals!

Why, do you think they may want to throw some medals at it or something? ;)

[Dog Gone]

LOL, absolutely.

[Aquamarine]

I also want to see the Vietnam, Korean war, WW11 Memorials. Plus everything else.

Someone as patriotic as you are would have a very lovely experience there. Hope you all get to go....be sure to take some pictures to post here when you get back. :)

When I went all those years ago, I remember that they had the space capsule that John Glenn circled the earth in. *That* was a thrill for me because I was a real NASA nut back then!

The Smithsonian is huge, of course, but I think the "must see" part is the Air and Space Museum. I'm not even a scientific person nor particularly interested in aviation, but found it fascinating.

Amen.

Nice post.

[Aquamarine]

I'm sure there are many "must see" jewels there.

[The Mayor]

I have a bunch in my profile page.

Thanks

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you! :^)

I was surprised when I found that article and
saw it was the Washington Post that wrote it.

Good morning Aqua and all.

Oops! Posted this to the wrong thread - sorry!

((((((DollyCali))))))) and ((((((mountaineer))))))

Howdy strangers! It's always so nice to *see* FRiends online.

mountaineer - you are correct about the Air and Space section. Even as a young child it left a huge impression on me. I was going to be an astronaut until I realized I suffered from motion sickness. Instead, I remained a huge fan of NASA.

Hey Aqua. Absolutely wonderful thread! It's been awhile since I've visited DC. You've got me wanting to again....I remember climbing the steps of the Washington Monument as a child. Remember being totally in awe!

Hubby's brother and sil just left and am rushing to get ready for work but wanted to stop in and say hi. Hope to stop back later. Again, wonderful job sistah and thanks for giving me the day off. Love ya sistah!

[DollyCali]

Tator... share some Geo. Washington tales w/us????

pinging some of the DC folks.

Thank you Aquamarine for thread today.

[Aquamarine]

I never was a Space enthusiast although my dad was. I went to Florida with him to watch the launch that went to the moon. That was pretty exciting.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks dutchess! We've never met but alot of us have stood in the same spot at some time. Amazing!
