Hiya Teenie!!

[oldteen]

Good evening Kathy. Thank you for posting tonights thread. Thank you Star for putting it together. I had to go and read about the Chocolate Chip Cookies. Such a great story.

[brushcop]

Hey there Kathy, been MIA looks like! What a great tribute, beautiful. It’s going to take some time read the interesting links.

We have been bless by soldiers/Marines who have touched our lives, particularly since 9/11. Several after serving for several depolyments in Iraq are headed for Afghanistan.

In nearby Kerrville, TX a young Marine almost lost his leg in an IED attack on his Humvee on his deployment in Iraq. It took him two years to recuperate (BAMC) and work his way back up to pass PT requirements. He petitioned for re-entry and was accepted only to be killed by another IED in Afghanistan soon after he arrived in country.

We honor those whose lives were cut short and we promise to live our lives in a way that will honor their sacrifices, if such a thing is possible.

I was honored to play for the funeral of a WW2 navigator in the US Army Air Corps, didn’t catch what type of bomber, possibly a B-17. Forced landing, taken captive, severe injuries and little treatment. Survived all that, came home and continued to live an incredibly generous life touching all those around him and I’m sure many that we don’t know about.

Time and again we clearly see that that quality of serviceman/woman is still present, that dedication to duty and love of country that makes this country so great and we thank God for them, always.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
