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

I had mentioned the night jasmine in the back yard. This is it: ( That is on the back of the computer room. Measures 20'W X 10'H. The upside-down flower pot about center in the foreground is actually a grave marker for one of my dogs. She liked to dig through the vine to eat bugs, lizards, snails or anything else that moved. Now the vine has completely covered her. :-) )

I loved my camo ribbon. Connor gave it to me. I'll have to look for another one. That one came from Louisiana.

Yeah, I've been toughing it out. Like I said before, I'm not going to let a toe get me down. I'm sore at the end of the night, but oh well.

How did the Cinco de Mayo program go? Was Connor a big hit?

My first ribbon--a red, white and blue one was stolen, too. I was like you--hoped they wanted it to put on their car to support the troops! Kinda doubt it, though.

It went swimmingly! Connor was adorable as usual. So were the rest of the kids. They all did little Mexican dances and told the story of Cinco de Mayo. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, even being as tired as I am! LOL

I am sure he was the "star" of the show--especially to you!

Manchester gone Conservative? . . . WOW, this is HUGE!!!

Take that EU Communists!!! . . . you haven't won yet, PTL!!!

There'll always be an England,
While there's a country lane.
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street.
Wherever there's a turning wheel
A million marching feet.

Red, white and blue
What does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud
Shout it loud
Britons awake!
The Empire too
We can depend on you.
Freedom remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break.

There'll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

Don't turn in your graves yet ancestor's . . . the tide is turning!!!
