Clint Jr loves that place...wants to go there. He goes there every year for wrestling camp and this year he went to the SEAL camp. GO NAVY! God Bless your son.

When I was at VMI in the 1960s, we had grace at every meal.

Sometimes they were prefunctory ("Great God, good food, let's eat") and no one liked the ones where someone droned on for a minute or more, but it overall it was a nice tradition.

The ACLU is a communist organization dedicated to silencing God and destroying America.

What's wrong with prayer? Aren't they supposed to prepare these young people for combat?

When I was at VMI in the 1960s, we had grace at every meal.

Went thru Parris Island in the 1960's. There was a plastic grace card in a holder on each table with a couple of brief prayers on it. Someone picked it up said grace and the next command was sit. Every butt had better hit the bench seat in unison or we got to do it over ... sometimes several times.

This is a matter of free exercise, not establishment. As with the words "under God" for the pledge, atheists and agnostics can simply remain silent. They are not hurt by the words of others.

This is good. We do not need to have looters who disrespect higher authority in our armed forces

The Naval Academy has no plans to drop the regular saying of grace before its midshipmen's lunch, despite a policy issued this week by the Air Force to discourage most public prayer, a spokesman said.

That's because the US Naval Academy is for men, while Zoomie School is for sissies!!!!

Really? That's scary. In Clint Jr's scout troop the scoutmaster and ast. scoutmaster were both Navy pilots and the charter rep was a WW2 sub driver...they've been lobbing him hard to go, is that a mistake?

Your position is far too lucid to ever be adopted by our courts.

Any 'wich grads out there....?

"God bless this food to our use and us to his service. Amen. Take seats."

No variation. No deviation. 3 times a day. Seven days a week. 9 months a year.

Very inspirational.
