Lili's Quick Polynesian Summary
The group of islanders that we will be visiting are collectively known as Polynesians. Many believe that the Polynesians first came to their respective islands from Southeast Asia. Also, many historians believe that there is a distinct possibility that Native Americans and Polynesians are related. One group, Native Americans, traveled by land through the Bering Strait. The Polynesians set course on the high seas. Both groups are thought to have originated from the same place. The Polynesian people comprise six groups: Maori, Samoan, Fijian (some do not consider them an actual member of the group), Tahitians, Tongans, and Hawaiians. Throughout their storied history, Polynesians have kept the traditions of the "old island" with the blend of modern living. Their ability to blend both lifestyles has allowed for more opportunities and holding on to traditions that have been passed down through the generations. Please join us today in learning more about them. Also, come with us to enjoy the many activities and locations that they have shared with the world. Enjoy yourself!

From Him comes my salvation;

Father:
Protect our troops. Be a wall of fire around them and guard them. Send angels around them and lead them safely in this battle. Bring them home safely and victorious. Be their strenght.

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home, called to serve his nation in time of war; sent to defend our freedom on some distant foreign shore.
We pray You keep him safe, we pray You keep him strong, we pray You send him safely home ... for he's been away so long.
There's a young woman far from home, serving her nation with pride. Her step is strong, her step is sure, there is courage in every stride. We pray You keep her safe, we pray You keep her strong, we pray You send her safely home ... for she's been away too long.
Bless those who await their safe return. Bless those who mourn the lost. Bless those who serve this country well, no matter what the cost.

I got this email this morning -- very moving. Hope all of you enjoy it.
We just received a message from a U.S. Marine that was so
compelling, we had to share it with you.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
I sat in a movie theatre watching "Schindler's List,"
and asked myself, "Why didn't the Jews fight back?"
I sat in a movie theatre watching "Pearl Harbor," and
asked myself, "Why weren't we prepared?"
Now I know why.
Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the
actions of evil people.
On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered
because too many Americans naively rejected the reality that
some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others.
Many political pundits, pacifists and media personnel want
us to forget the carnage. They say we must focus on the
bravery of the rescuers and ignore the cowardice of the
killers. They implore us to understand the motivation of
the perpetrators...
I will not be manipulated. I will not pretend to understand.
I will not forget.
I will not forget the liberal media who abused freedom of the
press to kick our country when it was vulnerable and hurting.
I will not forget that CBS news anchor Dan Rather preceded
President Bush's address to the nation with the snide remark,
"No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president."
And I will not forget that ABC's Mark Halperin warned if
reporters weren't informed of every little detail of this war,
they aren't likely--nor should they be expected--to show
deference."
I will not forget the attack on the USS Cole...
I will not be appeased with pointless, quick retaliatory
strikes like those perfected by the previous administration.
I will not be comforted by "feel-good, do nothing" regulations
like the silly, "Have your bags been under your control?"
question at the airport.
I will not be influenced by so called, "anti-war demonstrators"
who exploit the right of expression to chant anti-American
obscenities.
I will not forget the moral victory handed the North
Vietnamese by American war protesters who reviled and
spat upon the returning soldiers, airmen, sailors
and marines.
I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists
who chose reassurance over reality.
I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Blair
who told the Labor Party conference, "They have no moral
inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could
have murdered not 7,000 but 70,000, does anyone doubt they
would have done so and rejoiced in it?
There is no compromise possible with such people, no meeting
of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just
a choice; defeat it or be defeated. And defeat it we must!"
I will force myself to:
hear the weeping.
feel the helplessness.
sense the panic.
experience the loss.
remember the hatred.
I sat in a movie theatre, watching "Saving Private Ryan," and
asked myself, "Where did they find the courage?"
Now I know.
We have no choice. Living without liberty is not living.
