And Islam?
No praying in foxholes.
George Washington got on his knees in Valley Forge alone in prayer at what I believe was the true turning point of the Revolution.
George S. Patton was said to have prayed every morning. And at a critical point in the Battle of the Bulge he ordered his men to pray. http://www.generalpatton.com/prayer/index.html
I would love to hear his opinion on this matter, if he were around to give it. What a vital part of America we are losing!
The final stanza:
“Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines”
And I doubt anyone ever asks them to hold an umbrella up there.
I am sure they are, with their food stamps and Obamaphones.
