REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Col. Lewis L. Millett, USA - MOH – WWII, Korea, Vietnam – Died 14NOV2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



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, among these who answered 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!

Thanks Polly, they are sure a beautiful breed of cats. Lots of cats live a very long life, don’t they? My son lost his cat about a year ago and she was 16. So far he had decided not to get another as he has to travel some and he always had to get all the cat’s belongings and bring her to me to keep while he was gone....LOL, I got so attached to her and I knew she was sick and I was so afraid she would die while I had her, but it didn’t happen that way, thank goodness!

We miss her.

Appreciate the special Sunday post, it's beautiful.

I'm going to see the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular next month. My brother bought two tickets then found out that his wife had already purchased some tickets with her friends and daughter so he asked me to go. Never dreamed I'd get to see that show, thought it was something you had to visit New York to see. It's playing at the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta on 12-5. Rockettes

A Turkey Speaks

I have never understood

why anyone would

roast the turkey

and shuck the clams

and crisp the croutons

and shell the peas

and candy the sweets

and compote the cranberries

and bake the pies

and clear the table

and wash the dishes

and fall into bed

when they could sit back

and enjoy a hamburger.

~Author Unknown

Smart Turkey~~~LOL!!

VERY cute, JC! Thank you!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Been there, done that, you are now a member of the other kind of biker, and will have far more wisdom and care then before! That makes you a better biker over all!

Congrats on remounting, harder but necessary!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Pass this on to your church, co-workers, family, and
friends. What do you have to lose but 44 cents, what do you
have to gain -————— more than you will ever know. What a clever idea!
Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can
get ready to include an important address to your list.

Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a
CHRISTMAS CARD this year.

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS
part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice,

CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world..

Make sure it says “Merry Christmas” on it.

Here’s the address, just don’t be rude or crude. (It’s not the
Christian way, you know.)

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York , NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations
because they wouldn’t know if any were regular mail
containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the
ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is
no such thing as a “ Holiday Tree”. . . It’s always been
called a CHRISTMAS TREE!

And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to
communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!

For those of you who aren’t aware of them, the ACLU, (the
American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S.
Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away
from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war.
Help put Christ back in Christmas!

Good Sunday Evening, jaycee

Thank you for the sweet comment!
Thank you for the Beatitudes and the darling poem.
Hope you've had a wonderful Lord's Day

[MEG33]

Good Evening, Conor.

Thank you for your tributes to the fallen, Amazing Grace and the
Navy Hymn
Amen to your prayer for our troops,
Wishing You A Wonderful Sunday Evening.

[jaycee]

You are most welcome, Meg! A little advice, “Don’t you work yourself to death now.” Will you be cooking a turkey?

When my brother was coming to visit, I had 2 weeks to do my work, in fact I told him I would need 2 weeks because there’s a limit in what I can do in a day! When you pace yourself like I did, I sure knew when to stop for a while. Then I could do a little more later.

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Evening, Aqua

Thank you!
I would love to see the Rockettes. Happy for you!
Hope you've had a wonderful Lord's Day

[MEG33]

I may do a turkey breast..I Have made a dent..more to do!
