Thank you to all the freepers who demonstrate their patriotism by standing in the gap back at the home-front.
Thank you to all the troops who serve on the front lines. We appreciate your service, and the freedoms which your service is helping to maintain (including the freedoms of the peaceniks to protest everything you/we do and are!).
Personal thoughts on "patriotism": as a female, I wasn't allowed to serve (nor would I have wanted to, if truth be told) in the armed services when I was within the age range. But guess what: neither was Clara Barton, Rosie-the-riveter, etc. Does that mean that they weren't patriotic? NOT!!! One's patriotism (love of one's country) can be demonstrated in many ways. The men/women on the front lines put their bodies where their hearts are. The rest of us do what little we can on the home-front.
Thank you, military and all patriots. May God bless and protect America.
To All and I really hope I didn't miss anyone: It is the one day a week we can all get together with a sane group and make a small difference. Thank you for your participation in making Operation Infinite FReep a success! It seems they are now coast to coast
This thread is now dedicated to all our service members- active, retired, or disabled. May this thread with all the various responses, opinions, gratefulness, anger, tributes, trials, and happiness remind everyone of last week's special dates-The Air Force Birthday, and POW/MIA rememberance and what they are fighting, or have fought for. Let them see FRee Republic in action. May it counter the peaceniks' protests and their anti-military sway!
God bless our troops.
