Thank you, John, for another exceptional essay. As always, you are right on.

And thank you, Billie, for bringing him to us today. I love these photographs. They tell an entirely different story than we are hearing on the news. I can't even listen to the news anymore, my blood pressure can't handle it. There are no words to describe how much I detest Toad Kennedy. And if I hear once more "we have GOT to pull our troops out NOW".....I will scream.

God bless and protect each an every man and woman who is putting their lives on the line to liberate Iraq! And God bless and strengthen our beleaguered President who is being beat up daily by idiots and America-haters.

Wishing my FR family and friends a good day.

Thanks, Lori - I had a hard time keeping the number of pics down to just those. Seeing the look on that soldier's face when the little boy is handing him a rose brings tears to my eyes each time I look at it.
