It’s so they can watch us.
Ever try to have a private coversation?
There’s a cat nearby, watching.

[Lady Jag]

There’s a cat nearby, watching.

What do you mean by that?

[Darksheare]

For it is theirs to observe and record.
To trip mankind at the top of the stairs and then peruse the rubble at the bottom step.

[Lady Jag]

Is this why I see them using my computer when I'm away from the desk?

[Darksheare]

They’re communicating, and using our technology against us.
If you give them catnip, it impairs their ability to coordinate.

[Lady Jag]

After seeing a cat looking out my basement window I went inside to the cellar and this is what I overheard.

[Darksheare]

“Your mission, should you choose to accept it- and even if you don’t, is to..”

[JustAmy]

Thanks.

I liked that little bear and thought you might be able to relate to him.

[TheConservativeParty]

Amen! The scripture for today had great meaning to me again, thanks for your daily work in bringing us scriptures!

[Lady Jag]

Will there be a disguise?

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

LCpl Blaise Oleske, USMC, KIA 8APR2009

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!
