We suffered a great loss yesterday....we honor our fallen, but it should not be on American soil. I will hold my tongue on this thread other than to say my heart & prayers go out to the families who have lost their loved ones.

Ya left out “FReeping”! LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

We did indeed, Connie - and I'm absolutely disgusted that our so-called "leaders" keep dancing around the issue with euphemisms. We're at war, and those four Marines died in combat just as surely as if they had fallen in Iraq or Afghanistan.

"Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre / mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
"Thought must be the harder, heart be the keener / mind must be the greater, as our might lessens."

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks Very Much, Connie!

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

Hai AZ!

[AZamericonnie]

NORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow....so great to see you!

Ok, let’s see how to cheer you up.....you order pizza & they under charge you. The poodles don’t have to go potty til she gets back. Your driver wins this weekend. It rains steady but no damage. You finish the crossword puzzle perfectly in INK. Wifey comes home & missed you so much she smothers you face in kisses....OH & you win the powerball! How’s that? :) *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Can’t wait....the COLORS are amazing!!!! I had to keep the sunglasses on last night. It was/is pretty weird...the new eye sees everything REALLY bright and the old eye is still seeing in subdued...sorta sepia brown colors.

[left that other site]

I am exhausted.

I spent the whole day worrying about my little sister who was alone in her house in Lee, ME, where the homicidal manic was running around killing people.

The perp has been captured, but not until after shooting 5 people, 2 of them fatally. The town only has 850 people so i am sure my sister knows them.

I am going to bed now...worn out worrying about Mom, Steve, and Sis all day
