Not even 19 yet. Compare him to today’s snowflakes.
Good evening, Hartley.... he knew what needed to be done, and he did it, knowing full well the outcome. God Bless him for his sacrifice.

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Spent 2 years at Walter Reed as a Red Cross volunteer during the Afghan war on the amputation ward, Ward 52.
Witnessed true strength and true kindness.
Don’t post much to your posts but always REALLY appreciate them. Thank you much.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, lizma...always good to see you. And we thank YOU for your service to our brave heroes.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Tippy got a break from the rain and got in some nice long walks this weekend.
We have had sun for 2 days in a row!
Howdy Kathy, thanks for tonight’s Canteen and for honoring this amazing Hero.
Evening, Kathy!
Good evening, radu...did you get your nice relaxing day? Some sunshine?
We have had sunshine all day! That is almost 2 whole days in a row.
Howdy, Kathy.
What a gorgeous day up there. Still not quite sit-on-the0deck weather but it sure must boost everyone’s mood when looking out the windows.
Hey there, Kathy.
I had to enjoy sunshine looking at the Lake Hood cam today. It’s cloudy here, and we had a couple of light showers roll through this afternoon.
It was a relaxing day until close to suppertime. I was just going to start supper when Hubby’s cousin and his girlfriend showed up. I’m just now getting to eat.
Got a call a few minutes ago and it looks like an early bedtime tonight. Needed at the museum in the morning to help with a group tour.
Howdy, PRO.
Did you have a good weekend? Has Robin put together a list of projects to keep you busy this spring? :-)
Bible in a Year :
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me.
Unfortunately, there aren’t enough ruby slippers for everyone. Although many share Dorothy’s longing for home, finding that home—a place to belong—is sometimes easier said than done.
One of the consequences of living in a highly mobile, transient world is a sense of detachment—wondering if we’ll ever find a place where we truly belong. This feeling may also reflect a deeper reality, expressed by C. S. Lewis: “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”
The night before the cross, Jesus assured His friends of that home, saying, “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2). A home where we are welcomed and loved.
Yet we can be at home now too. We’re part of a family—God’s church, and we live in community with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Until the day Jesus takes us to the home our hearts long for, we can live in His peace and joy. We’re always home with Him.  .
Reflect & Pray
What makes you feel at home and why? How does knowing Jesus will take you to be with Him forever help you live here on earth?
God of love and grace, help me look forward to being at home with You, in Your presence, forever.
Howdy, luvie.
Was it as roasty toasty as predicted today?
Not bad here. It broke 80 and probably would have been warmer if we’d had sunshine. It sure was windy though.
Mooch!! How was your earthquake? Did you get to see the eclipse?
I think spring might finally be here...2 whole days with sunshine, altho the nights are still below freezing.
