"Oh, noooo, not her again. Why can't we get her to engage her brain before she clicks?!!" To which I would say:

Give that precious "Poster Boy" a group hug from the Finest Folks, Dave!

Doug from Upland's son-in-law, Josh, recently deployed once again. Add his name to the prayer list.

Salute to Josh and Mrs. Josh as she too serves this great country as a Navy wife.

[dansangel]

Thank-you for the update. Consider it done!

Salute to Josh and Mrs. Josh as she too serves this great country as a Navy wife.

Agreed. The families deserve every bit as much support as those who are deployed!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Dave. I have added Josh to my military prayer list.

Just stopping in for a minute to drop off this poem I found on a military support website. It touched me, and made me think of your Eric, OhioWFan.

The Kid has Gone to the Colors

The kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag to-day.
We thought him a child, a baby
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the kid heard the call.

He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered:"Come!"
The kid, not being a slacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster,
And God, we're proud of the boy!

The kid has gone to the Colors
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a school-boy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a Sailor,
And we lend him a listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.

His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His mother-God bless her!-cried;
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders straightened
Was Grandad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

Just saw Bush do his speech in MI.

Here the best parts:

So I call upon the world to come together and insist that this dangerous man disarm. But should they choose not to continue to pressure Saddam, and should he continue to defy the world, for the sake of our peace, for the sake of the security, this country will lead a coalition of other willing nations and we will disarm Saddam Hussein. If need be, if war is brought upon us like I said last night, I want to assure you, particularly those who wear the uniform and those who have a loved one in the military, we will commit the full force and might of the United States military. And for the name of peace, we will prevail. (Applause.)

We will free people. This great, powerful nation is motivated not by power for power's sake, but because of our values. If everybody matters, if every life counts, then we should hope everybody has the great God's gift of freedom. We go into Iraq to disarm the country. We will also go in to make sure that those who are hungry are fed, those who need health care will have health care, those youngsters who need education will get education. But most of all, we will uphold our values. And the biggest value we hold dear is the value of freedom. (Applause.) As I said last night, freedom and liberty, they are not America's gifts to the world. They are God's gift to humanity. We hold that thought dear to our hearts.

This is a great nation. America is a strong nation. America is a nation full of people who are compassionate. America is a nation that is willing to serve causes greater than ourselves. There's no question we face challenges ahead of us -- challenges at home, challenges abroad. But as I said last night, history has called the right nation into action. History has called the United States into action, and we will not let history down.

Thank you Louie. I just love your FR homepage, a man after my own heart, a wolf, an Irish blessing, pups, and umm, where's my rose?

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you. So do you live with this woman that interviewed me? Granted, she was polite but seemed kind of whiny, or is that just her work technique? She kept saying what-ever!

[snippy_about_it]

Thank Radix, see you at the Canteen.

[snippy_about_it]

Hi honey, I'm home!!!!

Poor thing, you had so little to work with but you did an excellent job. You came off snippier than me, and that can be tough to do on my bad days.

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you radu for your contributions to our troops. See you back at the canteen.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks pippin, hope you're feeling better soon.

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you FTH, "too strong willed for men to deal with", dansangel is so funny. My husband is sooooo laid back that we get along beautifully, a kind of counter-balance. :)

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks Gail, the coffee and biscuits are still warm!

"I see you are tough enough to handle your inquisition. BRAVO, if I may say so!"

Thank you, I get the idea all the ladies here know a little about being snippy!
