It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. -- Admiral Jeremiah A. Denton

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.

Forgetting Ourselves
March 7, 2011
I was fishing a local trout stream last summer, when my attention was fixed on a fish that was feeding nearby. I looked up and there on the bank I spied an acquaintancenationally known fly-fishing guide and outfitter Dave Tucker. Immediately I became aware of my own performance, bungled the next cast, and lost the fish. So it is when we turn our attention away from the activity at hand and think about ourselves.
W. H. Auden has an engaging little poem about those who forget themselves in an activitya cook mixing a sauce, a surgeon making an incision, a clerk completing a bill of lading. He says that all wear the same rapt expression, forgetting themselves in a function. That phrase forgetting themselves in a function brings Philippians 2:3-4 to mind: Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out . . . for the interests of others.
When Im listening to a friend, I need to remind myself to focus on him, not to begin wondering how I look, what he thinks of me, what I should say next. Lets put others first by listening in rapt attention, concentrating on the one in front of us, forgetting ourselves.
When we hold our tongues and listen,
We communicate our care;
For an open ear speaks volumes
To a heart thats in despair. Sper
Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak.
James 1:19

Great hero tonight, Galz! Thanks for your hard work. I remember seeing him on TV when he returned from Vietnam and admiring his perseverance so much under such horrible conditions.

Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
DC Metroland weather report
~ Today...Sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
~ Tonight...Mostly clear in the evening...Then becoming partly cloudy. Lows around 30. North winds 5 to 10 mph.
It rained all day yesterday. Good thing it was warm or we'd be up to our eyeballs in snow.
I'm back in the office today. Friday I was feeling kind of under the weather. I think it might be allergies as the grass is sprouting and the trees are budding.
I must post and run.
I have reports and a meeting this morning.
I'll try to be back at lunchtime.
Also, until such a time as I get the new computer in service,
my morning post will be limited on graphics.
This computer is too slow for me to anything quickly
and I spent too much of my morning time getting it together.
so many will be repeats.
Time for me to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are. Cause...............I'll be bock!
The Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
