Good Morning! Veterans Day 2012

This was today's Message on the Jerusalem Thread:

This Morning, Veterans Day, America is at a Crossroads. Our Beloved Veterans, who fought and sacrificed so much for Our Freedoms, are facing a different America than the one they were willing to defend. Sincere Americans like myself, and maybe you too, are feeling the gnawing suspicion that we have been "MUGGED", cheated, and disenfranchised out of our Birthright. Some Americans, like Esau, gladly sold their Birthright for a lousy bowl of soup, a handout from an All-Encompassing "god"...the Government. Most Americans, though, were deceived, and I firmly believe, that their votes were "stolen". The evidence of this is popping up all over the country, especially in my home state of Florida.
We Do Not know where this is going to take us. The bedrock of the American System, The Vote, has been compromised.
The days to come are very crucial, and affect us on a personal level. Our Lives depend on what happens next.
That being said, Remember that the Prince of Peace is Sovereign over All. "Shalom" means more that "Absence of Conflict". It encompasses Peace, Wholeness, Health, Prosperity, Calm, Serenity, and Love. Let us Pray That The Prince of Peace will intervene in the affairs of our own beloved Nation.
Remember to Thank a Vet Today!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Hi ya Polly, I bet you worry over that grandson!! We’ve all been touched by someone in the service and you had a son, husband and grandson. Praise the Lord, they have come home safely! My hubby served 4 years in the U.S. Navy and I had a couple of uncles who served. The only others I can think of were dear friends.

May God always bless them all!

The cable of God’s faithfulness
No storm can ever shake. —Anon.

I Wrote the following tribute to my late husband, seven years ago,
And wanted to share it with you, again, as I have on previous Veteran's Days

This Veterans Day, I still feel your presence.

I remember the stories you
told me of that day from hell.
I felt like I was beside you, as the
bullets shot by.
I could hear them, even feel the air they left behind.
When you were hit,

I wish I could have been there
to help you until the medics arrived.
I am so glad your unit was there for you,
to reduce the blood loss.
I know it hurt.
But, I know you wouldn't have ever let anyone know.
After all, you were a proud man.

I would have been at that hospital every day,
if I had known you, then.
I would have brought you everything you loved.
I would have sat by your bed
and told you stories to make you smile.

Thankfully, your wounds healed,
and your service to our country continued
for twenty more years.

The two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross you received
have been framed, and are displayed respectfully.

You honored your family, your friends, your loved ones.
But most of all,
you honored your Country.
You believed in the Constitution.
You could recite the Bill of Rights.
You wept every time you heard the Star Spangled Banner.

You were a proud Marine,
and, as I hold this folded flag,
close to my heart this Veterans Day,
I want you to know this: Your country honors you,
thanks you and misses you.
And, I miss you, too.

Semper Fi!

Good Sunday Afternoon
Thank you, yorkie, for sharing this wonderful, heartfelt tribute poem to
your late Marine husband.
I am so gratful for his service.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day
