Good night, all. Remember these freepers and their family members in your prayers.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; DollyCali, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Please keep these FReepers
and their loved ones in your prayers.

A PRAYER FOR OUR FINEST .. THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY ARMED FORCES IN THE UNIVERSE!! GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES .. WE CAN NEVER REPAY THEIR HONOR, DUTY, COURAGE AND SACRIFICE!!!

I Am A Soldier

I am a soldier. My blood permeates the soil of many countries.

I have gasped my last breath on many a desolate stretch of beach. For you...all of you, the children who play in the parks, the mothers who watch over them, the fathers who struggle to sustain them.

There are those here who have belittled and reviled me, who have made a mockery of me and what I stand for. You, also, have I suffered and died for. I withstood heat, insects and disease so the right to dissent would be yours.

I endured the pain and terror of battle and the maiming of my body to ensure that you might worship as you please. I died in agony in order that you, no matter who or what you are, have the freedom to choose your own destinies.

AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN because I believe in the ideals that made this country what it is today... FREE. I love her with a deep and abiding love that transcends mere physical pain.

I AM A SOLDIER. Pray that I will always be there, for if I disappear from this country, so will you.

~~Annonymous

Oh thus be it ever when free men shall stand between their 'loved homes and the War's desolation. Blessed with Victory and Peace may the Heaven rescued land praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must when our cause it is just and this be our motto: In God is our Trust And the Star Spangled Banner in Triumph shall wave O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

Francis Scott Key
