Good Morning Everyone! I just wanted to say good morning to all of our troops out there fighting for my freedom and my safety. We have had a REALLY fun week here in the Canteen, but I want you to know that while we were having fun YOU ALL were in our hearts and minds. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL for what you are doing and for the sacrifices you are making. My prayers are with you! GOD BLESS YOU! Now for all of the veterans! Words cannot express what I feel for you. You are the best of the best. THANK YOU for what you have done for me and all of our country. You have given so much and received so little in return. I appreciate you and thank you for keeping us free! GOD BLESS YOU!

Please forgive me for posting this twice, but I posted it on yesterdays thread and I didn't want anyone to miss it. *smile*

The eagle represents freedom. Living as he does on the tops of lofty mountains, amid the solitary grandeur of Nature, he has unlimited freedom, whether with strong pinions he sweeps into the valleys below, or upward into the boundless spaces beyond.

It is said the eagle was used as a national emblem because, at one of the first battles of the Revolution (which occurred early in the morning) the noise of the struggle awoke the sleeping eagles on the heights and they flew from their nests and circled about over the heads of the fighting men, all the while giving vent to their raucous cries. "They are shrieking for Freedom," said the patriots.

Thus the eagle, full of the boundless spirit of freedom, living above the valleys, strong and powerful in his might, has become the national emblem of a country that offers freedom in word and thought and an opportunity for a full and free expansion into the boundless space of the future.
