Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Empty table honors all U.S. MIAs, POWs, and those who served and are serving***MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. — The table is set with a white tablecloth, a black napkin and white candle, and a plate with only a slice of lemon and salt. An empty chair leans against the table.

The tradition, little known to the general public, of setting an empty table with a white tablecloth in remembrance of prisoners of war and those missing in action had its beginnings with a group of fighter pilots who flew in Vietnam.

This Memorial Day, the story of the remembrance table will become a bit better known with the publication of the children's picture book "America's White Table."

"It's really thanking everyone who served — not just Vietnam, it has gone beyond that," said Tom Hanton, a 60-year-old former fighter pilot who spent nine months as a POW in Vietnam. "It applies to those serving right now in Iraq and Afghanistan and all around the world."

The book's author, Margot Theis Raven of Mount Pleasant, said she would like to see the white table become a tradition for all Americans, just like putting out the flag on Independence Day.

"Be it Memorial Day or Veterans Day or the Fourth of July, that's the point," she said. "The point is every single day of freedom is brought to you by that person who is not sitting there."

The tradition, started by the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association — the so-called River Rats of Vietnam — has spread to other branches of the military where remembrance tables are set when units or commands gather for dinners or reunions.

The symbols on the tables may vary depending on the ceremony.............***

As you know quite well, the torches we held high as U.S. Maries have been passed down through others in assorted places - Nam, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq II - to this new generation of Marines.

They do commendably through the magic that is
true 'esprit de corps.'

They *LIVE* "one for all - all for one" to the max;
every minute of every hour of every day....

That is obvious in that story I posted about the two severely wounded Marines, and all the others posted this week.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

**LadyX with chin down looks chagrinned..:( **
Knows bettah about the spurs, Cowboy, thanks to you and the Texas Group!
Just got carried away gathering graphics to use in the reply to you, and "overlooked" the fine detail you pointed out - LOL

Needless to say, we are thrilled by your attitude, outlook, true grit, and most of all, your faith in our Almighty God.
Our many discussions about Him bear fruit for you and me -
and for all of those here, praying for you.

WE ALL ARE BLESSED !!! to be sure - - -

Thank you for giving us the latest, TC --
we each in his or her way, firmly place your hand - -

- again and again in the hands of Our Father --

It's going to be tough, but the fact that you lashed yourself went a long way toward the recovery process. ;-)

Hmmmmmm....TC says he won't be dancing for Chippendale's ---

I guess we better alert the First Lady and Lynn Cheney---after all, they are known to frequent these clubs...LOL

Dang, Cowboy, I've had cellulite on my butt since I gave birth to my first youngun----you just joined a very large club of people whose bodies ARE NOT made for stripping!!!

Thanks for the ping, Lady and THANK YOU, Cowboy for the new updates...it is so good he hear from you personally...

Prayers up to you and yours, Cowboy---and to all our Freeper vets and their families---I hesitate to say, "Happy" Memorial Day, but I think ya'll know what you mean to the rest of us.....we honor you, and thank you all!!!!
