I offer my sincerest prayers that we will be protected and looked after in heaven with the same passion he looked after every one of us as a member of our nation’s Navy.

From blackie's profile page....

Jesus said:
"When these things begin to come to pass,
then look up, and lift up your heads,
for your redemption draweth nigh." - -
(Luke 21:28)

Nine Principles To Believe In

1. America is good place, not perfect, but good.

2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life.

3. I must try to be a better, more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and not a guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have. I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree or share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them. They answer to me.

Please ping those who would like to know.

Backie,

Thank you for stepping forward when others stepped back.
Thank you for placing yourself between us and danger.
Thank you for delaying plans for college, marriage, and other opportunities and choosing to serve.
Thank you for braving the unspeakable horrors of war.
Thank you for sacrificing time with your family and missing those significant milestones the rest of us take for granted.
Thank you to your spouse and your children who accepted your absence as a way of life and understand they shared you with a nation and sometimes the world.
Thank you to your parents who prayed to protect you.
Thank you for continuing to support your country once you left military service.
Thank you for being a conscience to our nation.
Thank you for serving as a heroic example of who we are and what we can dream to be.
Thank you for your service.

Gentlemen, our ranks have lessened by one this night.

Raise your glasses with me.

Blackie, God bless his memory.

Wow...Way back when I was a real newbie, he first replies I ever received to anything I posted on FR were from blackie and OldAtlanta...both now gone.

"Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true, through the many obstacles in my path and for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and for your many signs along the way. Thank you for the good that I have done. For whatever light you were able to shine into the darkness of this world through me...Thank you for allowing me finally to rest. I'm so very tired. The time of my departure is at hand and now I surrender my soul into your care, at peace in knowing that I have carried out your will. That I have done right with my time on this earth. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith."

~The Book of Eli
