[Soaring Feather]

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday
Thank the Veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Veteran's Day

National Anthem

Grand Old Flag

On this day we Thank You Vets

for standing on the side of right.

For standing in the muddy trench

before the enemy of freedom.

For marching on the side of justice

to keep a nation free,

For standing in the line of fire,

to hold off oppression 

to hold a child not yours,

to build a school for those who have none

and to give a smile to anyone who needs one.

We Thank You Vets, for all you've done.

Wake Up Call

They're probably wondering: "Hmmm!  Where can I buy a FINE Pre-Owned BURKA????"

Cpt. James Shull FSO, 3BCT, 1st AD killed Nov. 17th 2003 Abu Ghraib district, Baghdad, Iraq.

and to the other 41 soldiers from the 3BCT 1st AD and 1st BCT 1st ID along with the 5 Kansas National Guard soldiers who've given their life in Iraq.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR MILITARY

A SOLDIER'S PRAYER

Almighty Father, Whose Command is over all and
Whose Love never faileth,
Let me be aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.

Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty
in purpose and in deed, and helping me so to soldier and to live
so as to stand unashamed and unafraid before my fellow soldiers,
my loved ones, and Thee.

Protect those in whose love I live.

Give me the will to do the work of a man and to accept my share
of responsibilities with a strong heart and a cheerful mind.

Make me considerate of those entrusted to my leadership
and faithful to the duties my country has entrusted to me.

Let my uniform remind me daily of the traditions
of the Service of which I am a part.

If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith;
If I am tempted, make me strong to resist;
if I should miss the mark, bestow upon me courage to try again.

Guide me with the light of Thy truth ~ and keep before me
the life of Him in Whose example and deliverance I trust.

Vaya con Dios.
