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

~May~ National Military
Appreciation Month~



We thank you, you who volunteer
To join the military to protect
what's here...
The Constitution, the Rule of law,
Our way of freedom loved by all
In this wondrous land of ours
Whose Stars and Stripes flow freely
O’er the land, whose seas are free,
Don’t tread on us... we are too, proud
To let you turn us into dust!

We appreciate your bravery, your valor,
Your honor, your gallantry,
Thank You for all you do.
And let Freedom ring the whole world through.










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

A single guy decides life would be more fun if he had a pet, so he went
to the pet store and told the owner he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede (a 100-legged
creature), which came in a little white box to use for a house.

He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided
he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.

He asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to church with me
today? We will have a good time."

But there was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him
again, "How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.

So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the
situation.

He decided to ask him one more time, this time putting his face up against
the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go
to church with me and learn about the Lord!?"


YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS!



A little voice came out of the box:

"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."

Actually it's his granddaughter, Freida Freud, and she's a dominatrix. She looks a lot like him except for the beard
