and in the voting booth lack the manly fortitude to call the practice of sending our daughters to war what the Bible calls it — an abomination.

The Bible also calls a shrimp cocktail an abomination.

My daughter will never be "drafted." She will graduate from the Air Force Academy in 2010, hold up her right hand and like seven previous generations in our family, willingly swear to defend this great nation and its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

She will exit the auditorium as a Second Lieutenant in the mightiest Air Force the world has ever known. God willing, she will receive her first salute from her grandfather, a WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Vet.

Good point on the shrimp

Same goes for cotton poly blended t-shirts.

Wow!

Your family has given a lot to our country!

Thank you!

Good luck to your daughter!
