FReeper Canteen~May~National Military Appreciation Month~May 5, 2005
May 4, 2005 | bentfeather/Canteen Crew

Posted on 05/04/2005 8:06:40 PM PDT by Soaring Feather


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

Not my cup of tea, actually.
I like the hair color, her eyes, and figure, but she vaguely reminds me of Demi Moore.

Actually, I think it was more 'Grinwid' than 'Ewok'.

Yes I am! I got my plane tickets all lined up! YEAH! Except this year my Mom is going too. As much as I adore her.. I am boo hooing over this fact. I have told my dear Mother that there is no whining allowed at the Indy 500 weekend. (She will never make it!!)

At least she doesn't go to the actual race, so I have a chance at seeing some racin' in some peace and quiet!! (She is NOT a race fan!!)

To show what a dear daughter I am I am going to miss carburation day to go shopping with her, or some such silly nonsense.... (UGH!) :]
