It isn't new, but it is timeless.
On days when our troops are understandably angry, on behalf of their fallen friends, at the actions of a few enemies - at home and abroad - this letter stands as a reminder that our troops are liberators, and the oppressed will remember who fought for their freedom - as do ALOHA RONNIE's Vietnamese-Americans, now fighting communism from their community in California, with the help of Ronnie, and other's who fought to save them in another war.
Prayer bump for our beloved troops and Veterans, and prayer warriors - and prayer warrior leaders. *g*
PRAYER FOR PEACE, MEMORIAL DAY, 2004
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
"For more than two centuries, Americans have been called to defend the founding ideals of our democracy. On Memorial Day, a grateful Nation remembers the proud patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty's blessings.
From the opening battles of the American Revolution through the turmoil of the Civil War, to World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, to the Persian Gulf and today's operations in the war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, the members of our military have built a tradition of honorable and faithful service. As we observe Memorial Day, we remember the more than one million Americans who have died to preserve our freedom, the more than 140,000 citizens who were prisoners of war, and all those who were declared missing in action. We also honor our veterans for their dedication to America and their sacrifice...."
