REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Christopher R Hrbek, USMC, (Bronze Star with Combat "V") KIA Afghanistan 15JAN2010

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

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!

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a riot!!!!

[pollywog]

We got trounced today Yorkie! I hear that Thursday will be the worst. I just did NOT go out at all...

[pollywog]

Billie,
We got plenty of rain but so far no flooding. They did evacuate 64 homes in the burn area from the fires this summer because of mud slides.

[pollywog]

OH Kitty!!! How frightening! I’m glad you didn’t break a bone, and that the laptop survived the spill.
My husband knocked my laptop over today....I was less than a happy camper!!It is fine though...

[pollywog]

Amy, how did you survive today? We cleared out a lot by 3pm but hear that more is coming...
Polly

LOL~~~they actually are shouting out for Scott Brown to win tomorrow....~smile~

[jaycee]

I needed to pass a long this little bit of good juicy news. I heard on the news today that Martha Coakley's husband's Union is for SCOTT BROWN! Sounded very good to me...wonder how it makes her feel? LOLOL~~~

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Polly.
We didn't get a lot of rain but did get some strong winds.
After the severe weather alert, there was another weather watch for a spotted tornado.
It was northeast of Fresno and did not touch down.

After I powered down, I watched Glen Beck with hubby.
Then since I was interested in the Massachusetts news,
I watched Special Report. LOL

Since Marissa was home today, I didn't have as much online time as usual.

I heard that there are at least 3 more storms waiting to make shore.
Stay safe this week. Hope you and your hubby are feeling much better.

[pollywog]

I wish I could say we are feeling better. Hubby is going to call the Dr. again tomorrow. He has had some bad coughing spells over the past few days, and he has been on a antibiotic all week! It almost seemed asthmatic to me.

[tajgirvan]

What a beautiful little fella or girl! To think our Father in Heaven designed such a delightful creature just for us to look at and enjoy! Thank You, Jesus! Thank you, Kitty Mittens!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

“The person who says it cannot be done, should not interrupt the person doing it.”

Political correctness defined:

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

[JustAmy]

Praying that they will find the cause and the correct medication. Are you doing better?

Marissa’s tonsil is still swollen. She goes back Wednesday and should know the results of the throat culture. She is on antibiotics but doc didn’t think they would do any good. LOL Don’t know why she prescribed them.
