I'm very thankful for those that have served and those going into harms way today.
What did the material s-l-u-t and Seanie do now? I'm behind in my glorify-the-stars-newspaper-hype.

The town I live outside of has a very large AF Base. It's a training base, and home of the NATO pilot training school. We see these men on a daily basis. They are somewhat worried, but also courageous in their thoughts, and in what they know they are going to have to do. We always shake their hands and wish them luck. And, God...they are all so young......

No matter what this thing means....Sean Penn...I guess.
What dope by the way. Material s. l. u. t. ....Madonna?
Not sure of that one.
Anyway, you can add my name to the list. I know a ton of people to thank; some of whom never made it back while making sure our little contract is pretty much intact.

I spent some time at that wall reading names for an hour or so, middle of the night, dead silence. Even at midnight, a steady stream of reverent and silent visitors seemed all at once full of sadness, pride, respect, disgust, you name it. Emotions run high along that wall.
Freedom is an amazing thing to have, and easy to forget when you have it. It would be a good thing if everybody understood the price of freedom, and the price of complacency.

I honestly think that every American should be required to spend at least 3 mths. in a third world country....a country where you have no rights or freedom. We are complacent and spoiled, and we take most of our freedoms for granted. When you live in a country where there are no freedoms...you become very grateful and respectful of them. Sometimes you will even gratefully kiss the ground when you get off the plane.
After living it...I'll never bitch about taxes or anything else again.
This is something I take very seriously.

I too shed a few tears at that wall... I visited at 2 am on a silent snowy night. There was no one around. I walked through the korean war monument in the dark and stood with the soldiers cast in bronze, I felt what they felt and I went to the wall, I read the names of some I knew and many others who had lost there lives. I sat at the feet of Abraham Lincoln and looked down on our capital and I returned to the wall. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life. One that words can never describe. . Freedom is not free!

I saw in the paper a few days ago where the ACLU wants to stop the placing of religious symbols on federal property. You know, Christian crosses, Star of David, those sort of things.

So true Roxy. My son used to call me from Bosnia, telling me stories of how the little kids would beg for food all the time and the parents would come home from work never knowing if their houses were still standing or just a shell from being bombed. I cried to think of all the suffering.
I greatly admire each and every one of our service men and women and I pray for each of their safe returns to their families.

Uh oh...do I smell political debate...No wait...that's just me! Forgot to shower again.
I would fight for this country again in a heart-beat. But I would make sure it's put into my contract..."I believe in my Country, and will fight to the death for her. But I'm not doing this for our CHICKEN-HAWK President. I'm doing it for her."
If you don't like what's happening in this Country GTF up and do something about it. Rock the Vote.

Dannyboy,
What Linda said with a long long list of expletives.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE YOU FUCKHEAD.
My husband, and many of the people on this board have gone and fought for your fucking right to even say what you said. How dare you tell Jonny to shut up or threaten him when he is giving all of us something IMPORTANT to think about and remember.
GEe, do you think I'm pissed?? You are nothing but a little scumbag, Aussie is leaving this board to go there, my girlfriends husband left on Sunday, my husband will likely have to go a AGAIN. He's done Korea, Bosnia, Kosovo Afghanastin, ....most of these fucking places ASKED THE US TO COME AND HELP.
We didn't insert ourselves they asked, we went then they fucking shit on us. My husbands life and Rees son's lives and the lives of every other service member is the cost of that fucking statement carved in granite.
How dare you , you disgust me in a way I can't begin to describe. Crawl back under your fucking rock and keep your mouth shut. Better yet, MOVE TO FUCKING IRAQ

To everyone else,
Myself and my family spent time looking at those bronze cast statues....with hollow eyes that are haunting.
The names on the wall that never seem to end, a family that left a loved ones medal at the base of the wall,
watching my daughter cry at the wall as she comprehends the enormity of the sacrifice. Reading the walls in the lincoln memorial.
It's a moving experience in a way I never imagined I would be moved. The haunting eyes of those statues will forever remind me of all the names and lives that allow us to be free.

With a history of both of my grandfathers in WWII, my father in Vietnam, and currently 2 brother-in-laws and a first cousin in the United States Marine Corps., I can't help but be thankful and grateful to them for the jobs they have, or are currently doing. At this certain time, we need to back all of our military, no matter what happens, or what political party thinks they're right or wrong. For those men and women in the military are the ones making the true sacrifice, that we here in the USA can speak, act lawfully, think and demonstrate freely without duress or consequence.
.....Mel
