Hi Brian. You were right about the other. Thanx for the update.

I hope you'll join us, once in a while at least, at the Canteen to honor and support our troops. I chose today to turn you onto it because Monday's are when we get to read e-mails from the troops. That's the best time to show someone just how important the Canteen is to those fighting for our freedom. I hope you'll take a moment to read the e-mails, if you haven't done so already. I know you're a busy man but I hope you'll be able to join us from time to time to say 'hello' and 'thank you' to those who are defending our country. :-))

[Radix]

Oh my gosh Snowy,

I read those notes this morning from the Volunteers and because of them and others I know who I am.

You have given me a focus that I have been negligent about for so long.

I really do not think that you know how powerful a person that you truly are.

That is OK, I will be here to remind you.

You are my hero.

Thank you for putting up the picture of Ted Maher at 31.

Ted's other home on Free Republic is at the current Ted Maher thread.

Monaco has been putting lies in the mouth of this innocent American veteran for three years--

--and finally the appropriate congressional and State Department officials are looking at this outrage.

Somebody else on our team looking are the two CIA bases in territory of the PUK and KDP respectively. This isn't revealing anything Saddam doesn't know--just a heads up to our team that a full-Mussolini is in store for the moustachioed Mother of all Mofo's.

God Speed the greatest fighting force on earth.

"The Value Of A Smile"

ms feather, what a wonderful poem. Thanks for sharing.

I love Thanksgiving when we pray,
And July 4th and Labor Day
With picnics, ants, and hungry flies,
And barbecue and hot French fries,
With Cokes and chips and apple pies
Beneath some hazy, lazy skies.

I love Miami's royal palm
That oozes forth a healing balm
Beside the ocean's quiet calm.

And Betsy Ross, and Orville Wright,
And dear Ben Franklin's flying kite;
And Thomas Jefferson's mightly quill,
And Alamo, and Bunker Hill,
And Paul Revere's midnight ride,
And Wilbur Wright's successful glide.

I love United's friendly skies;
And baseball when the umpire cries,
"Play ball!" as thousands quietly rise
To turn their moistened sober eyes
Toward waving flag that proudly flies.

And Casey Stengal's Stengaleze,
And Dairy Queen, and Tastee Freeze,
And cotton candy at the zoo;
And corny dogs and Big Macs too;
And Burger Kings, and shopping malls,
And hockey pucks, and basketballs.

And Mississippi's cotton fields,
And Holland, Michigan's spinning wheels;
Monotonous midwestern plains,
Florida's sun, Seattle's rams.

Atlanta's lovely, dogwood trails,
And Santa Fe's long clicking rails.
I love the Rocky Mountain peaks
Beneath a sky which mutely speaks;

And Disney World, and Disney Land,
And Georgia's fertile blood-red sand:
The Mississippi, and Rio Grande;
Wisconsin's cheese and dairy land.

I love McDonald's chocolate shakes,
And Minnesota's thousand lakes;
The Royal Gorge's mighty yawn,
A sleepy Alabama dawn;
The harvest moon that shineth on.

I love to gaze at Yellowstone
While licking on an ice cream cone;
And Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge;
And Ford, and Chevrolet, and Dodge.
I love the stately Empire State,
And San Francisco's Golden Gate.

I love St. Louis' friendly arch,
The Statue of Liberty's burning torch,
The Washington Monument's prickly goad,
And Colorado's trail ridge road.

I love "My Country, Tis of Thee,"
Oh, blessed land of liberty.
Long may our glorious land be bright,
With freedom's wondrous holy light,
Protect us by Thy matchless might.

I love to stand with hand o'er heart
And think of those who did their part,
Who left a mom a lone gold star,
Whose bodies rest 'neath fields afar.

I love New England's rolling farms,
Its quaint decor and blushing charms.
I love the azalea's freshened blooms,
East Texas' roses sparkling plumes.

I love it when my church choir sings,
And know the peace that worship brings.

There beats within my breast a dream
That that small faint and flickering gleam
Will soon become a mighty flame
To spread to all His matchless name:

That those dear four who call me "Dad"
Will know the country I have had;
Where freedom's flag flies proud and high,
And those dear ones may loudly cry,
"I'm free! My dad helped make it so.

That faint small gleam is now aglow!
That Christian land that he once knew
Is now the kind that we know too!
God's judging hand has now been stayed,
So I and mine are not afraid,
For churches like our own abound
In every city, village, town!

We're free to witness, visit, teach
The same dear truths we heard Dad preach!
And now we vow to God above
To pass it on to those we love."
