Thanks snugs for your work on the dose today.
We have a number of events here in San Diego with all
the military. Our National Cemetery here, Ft. Rosecrans
has 88,000 burials.
My uncle and his wife are spending their Memorial Day in
Korea. My dad could have gone also but didn't.
As Korean War Vets, The Korean Gov. invites vets for a
week for activities and to thank them.
I received an e-mail from my uncle last night, he said a
film crew from the Discovery Military channel were filming
this for an upcoming program.
I will have to look out for that programme as I believe I can get that channel on our satalite.
Thanks for your support
That's great and thanks for the heads up. I'll look forward to seeing it when they air it.
How do you do good friend"SoCalPol""Thanks snugs for your work on the dose today.SoCalPol"Thank you all
"A SAS Soldier's Prayer
I bring this prayer to You, Lord
For You alone can give
What one cannot demand from oneself.
Give me, Lord, what you have left over,
Give me what no-one ever asks You for.
I don't ask You for rest,
Or quiet,
Whether of soul or body;
I don't ask You for wealth,
Nor for success, nor even health perhaps.
That sort of thing You get asked for so much
That You can't have any of it left.
Give me, Lord, what you have left over,
Give me what no-one wants from you.
I want insecurity, strife,
And I want You to give me these
Once and for all.
So that I can be sure of having them always,
Since I shall not always have the courage
To ask You for them.
Give me, Lord, what You have left over,
Give me what others want nothing to do with.
But give me courage too,
And strength and faith;
For You alone can give
What one cannot demand from oneself.
- Lt. Andre Zirnheld, SAS, died in battle July 26, 1941, this was found in his uniform."

"He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.
He stands though, with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath. He looks at us now in anger and disgust and tells us this...
I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the Constitution and now your children graduate too illiterate to read it.
I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the freedom to vote and you stay at home because it rains.
I left my family destitute to give you the freedom of speech and you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be bad for business.
I orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has stolen democracy from the people.
It's the soldier not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press.
It's the soldier not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.
It's the soldier not the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!!!
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
From a sermon by John Hagee"

"Give thanks for the progress being made in the Middle East, in spite of the great difficulties still encountered on many fronts. As President Bush met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai this week, both leaders expressed appreciation and gratitude for the progress of democracy in that nation. Pray for the continued strengthening of the new democratic regime in Afghanistan, and pray for our troops who help keep that nation free and strong as they continue to work toward full freedom and democracy.
Even as the progress in Afghanistan is celebrated, the difficulties in Iraq continue with seemingly relentless fervor. Pray for an end to the unrest and insurgency in that country, asking God to strengthen those working to bring freedom, democracy and fairness to Iraq. Pray for the young government and its new leaders as they daily face threats, resistance and death. Pray for the many American personnel working to help the new government implement much needed services and policies.
Pray for the President as he speaks to the graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, asking God to protect him and to use him to encourage and inspire the newest graduates of that great military institution. Pray for all graduates across the nation this spring.
Pray for the President as he welcomes South African President Thabo Mbeki to the White House on June 1. The two leaders will discuss global security, conflict resolution in Africa, economic development, trade and investment, and fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa.
As new stories involving crimes committed against children continue to emerge, pray for the children of our nation, that they will be protected and their innocence preserved. Pray for Mrs. Bush's initiative, Helping America's Youth, that it will be effective in its efforts to draw children and teens away from violence, gangs, drugs and other negative influences.
As our nation observes Memorial Day, pray for a sincere spirit of remembrance and gratitude for the sacrifices made to preserve our freedom. Pray for the safekeeping of all our troops as they
