The price that's paid for freedom made an entire family terribly sad. A nation must know the price that's paid of blood, of tears, of love, greater than any made a life for freedom paid.
May our gracious God touch the hearts and ease their pain. Their loved one did not die in vain... A Hero walks tall in a lofty land of peace and will be forever young, In the Mansions of the Lord.
Amen

Hmm.. or we can just exert or talents on vengeance upon the cursed technology on hand, and then cross-avenge anyone else who has been attacked without reason by technology run rampant.
Kinda like a twisted hall of justice.

Good Thursday to all our wonderful Troops - doing the job that has to be done - 24/7 - 365 days a year.
Without you - I could not sit and write these words.
Without you, I could not pick up my son from school today, or take him there each morning.
Without you, I could not have the privilege of seeing the sunrise and sunset every Glorious morning and evening.
Without you, I could not know the freedom of driving wherever I please.
Without you, I would not have been able to find a Church Home two weeks ago and Re-dedicate my life to the Lord.
Without you I could not enjoy the Freedoms our Forefathers put down on paper so many years ago, the ability to pursue happiness and enjoy life.
Without you I would not have the ability to find direction in my life through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and would not be able to discover His will even though it is sometimes a bumpy road.
From the Bottom of my Heart, Mind and Soul I declare EVERY DAY should be set aside for appreciation of you our faithful, fearless troops who give so generously of love, time and talent.
May God be with you along every path, and may He carry you when you have lost the strength to press on.
Know You are Never Alone.

A guy brought a litter of Yorkshire terrier puppies to the vet for their first checkup.
As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box. The vet turned on the water faucet, wet his fingers, and moistened each dog's head when he'd finished.
After the fourth puppy, the man with the puppies had grown silent. As the vet sprinkled the last pup's head, the man leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized, too."

I can do short stuff, one to three paragraphs.
But trying to stretch it out a little further is difficult.
