One Year Later of Shock and Awe

We saw the murderous dictator fall
we cheered, we sang
with glad refrain
as the statue of Saddam the
madman, Hussein toppled

by Iraqi people whom he
oppressed and tortured
gassed his own people
maimed little children
with no compassion or mercy

From palace to palace he¹d run
hide with those bloody
thug sons by his side
until the day they met the
business end of a soldiers gun
that ended their ³fun.²

Evil spawn of evil he...
found living in a spider hole
that describes the end
of his reign and his
people will determine
his plight - not his way
sneaking around at night
filling the people with fear
oh no, he will get to hear
the charges of his murderous crimes
and stand before the judges of his kind
spend the rest of his miserable life on earth
in better conditions than he meted out...

Freedom lives now for Iraqi people
conditions improve with a helping hand
from nations across the worlds¹ lands

They are learning to trust again
and smile, study in schools,
work for their livelihood
unhindered by the bloody dictator Hussein
Iraqi people are free to be...

Dear Brad's Gramma,

Did you miss me?

If so, I'm so saddened that I will be unable to play Cat Stevens for you. Well, considering that you won't be around. I'm so saddened by that. My river of tears is steadily turning to an ocean.

(Hehehe!)

Good evening, mystery-ak!

How are you doing?

How's Mike doing?

Prayers sent for him and his guys!

I met a friend yesterday at Talkfest that has been lurking and following your family's adventures.

Nice presentation, Tonk. Keep up the good work.

May God continue to Bless and Protect our Armed Forces and their Families.

My meager "Thank You" to the troops and their families seems woefully inadequate when I consider the price they all pay. Nonetheless, Thank You for your service.

Good evening, mystery! Thanks for sharing Mike with us.

Thank you, 1Sgt Mike, for your service to our country with the Army National Guard.

Prayers, Mike, for your further surgery, and your "kids" as they prepare for coming home.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Well if you insist. I wasn't going to, but now I guess I have no choice. (sigh)

Hey! I'm ready for my history lesson. Do I have to wait until later on today?
You're just going to have to wait until the morning like everyone else.

I met her yesterday at Talkfest in my area. Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity were there. They were the special guests.

I was talking to her in line and she was mentioning that she lurks at the Dose and Canteen. I was naming some names of people I remember in the Dose and she started talking about you and your hubby. What a great joy you've brought to other people without even knowing it. How cool is that?
