Good morning to you, Billie.

I just love that graphic of little hands in big hands, praying.

I wake up today loving the Red, White and Blue more than ever.

I'm keeping the TV sound on mute today as I sit here doing my work ... watching, to be sure I don't miss anything developing ... but I can't bear to listen to all the anti-American sentiment and propaganda anymore ... grrrrrrrrrrr.

Good morning to all our Hostesses and to all the Finest.

(Mr. Mayor, thank you for your daily inspirations and reminders.)

Afternoon, Billie.

Thanks for that "Pray for our Troops" graphic. Causes me to reflect back on my life and two words spoken at my dad's funeral - "...He Prayed..."

Countless people were the object of his prayers. Very comforting to find out that I was lifted up to God on a daily basis, and I like to think those are my dad's hands in the graphic. Thanks.

Hampton and the Royal Navy Trafalgar class attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX 04, a joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap. Both the Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice, including scientists traveling aboard both submarines to collect data and perform experiments. The Ice Exercise demonstrates the U.S. and British Submarine Force's ability to freely navigate in all international waters, including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Kevin Elliott.
