Enough cannot be said about this community and the spirit it has. Driving around this afternoon before shopping, businesses and homes galore display yellow ribbons; flags wave from many and are on cars; the paper has a page with as many bios on military men and women as are submitted - a special form displays them on pages for all to honor.

As I related, two of our County sons have lost their life in Iraq and were accorded full page write-ups and given full military honors.

In church Sunday, the pastor acknowledged the presence of a military son home on leave for the service, having him stand - and then added, "And all our military and veterans please stand, too, so we can honor you as well."

How blessed we are, not having any "PC" cloud hanging over us!

I loved the e-mail you shared Sistah. I just sent you a final e-mail for the evening, then I find you over here. I need to turn in, but wanted to say hi to a few of the finest.

Your hometown sounds wonderful, LadyX. I envy you. It's so different from living in a big city *sigh*. At least my church, which is very supportive of our military, sounds much like yours.
