beachie sez.........."are you really Old MacDonald? Just kidding. I work along the DC Metro corridor along the river. So we see a lot of air traffice, including the military and Presidential helicopters pass over. And, everytime I see them, I think of how great it is that we have people such as this. Meaning, our military and our security personnel, more that our Representatives.
Do you realize that without them and those who are willing to fight for an "idea, principle, and way of life," we would be someone's bitch. Excuse the expression, but I think this better describes what our way of life would be in that world. "
Before I be a bitch they would have to take my life! I am from the DC area too. My daughter lives near Andrews, and her streets were patrolled by guys in Humvies with twin 50's on the roof whenever Air Force One was heading in after 9/11.
I am in NJ now, and heading to Oklahoma in the spring.
Reading poasts about our brave soldiers brings tears to my eyes, and being an old firefighter it ain't easy.
Again, God bless our troops.
I was in a Fast ffod place not to long ago and therewere a few guys in uniform, I stopped and said "Thank you, everyone in America isn't an asshole and a lot of us support what you guys are doing."
