For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Awesome for sure, TJ and Sarah (DuPuy) Rapp!


                               It is in Anthem, about 45 minutes from Phoenix.  



                                AWESOME MONUMENT IN ARIZONA

England's Stonehenge, Egypt's Karnak, or Abu Simbel have nothing on us!

Our Memorial even has a plaque pedestal to explain it all.
Archaeologists of the future won't have to “guess” what this site is all about!

Once a Year, at 11:11 AM, the Sun shines perfectly on this Memorial.

At precisely 11:11 A.M., on the 11th Day of the 11th Month (Veterans Day), the Sun’s rays
pass through the ellipses of the five Armed Services pillars to form a perfect solar spotlight
over a mosaic of The Great Seal of the United States.

The Anthem Veterans Memorial, located in Anthem, Arizona, is a monument dedicated to
honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States armed forces. The pillar provides a
place of honor and reflection for veterans, their family and friends, and those who want to
show their respects to those service men and women who have and continue to courageously
serve the United States.

The memorial was designed by Anthem resident Renee Palmer-Jones. The five marble pillars
represent the five branches of the United States military. They are staggered in size (from 17’ to 6’)
and ordered in accordance with the Department of Defense prescribed precedence: the
United States Army,  the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force,
and the United States Coast Guard.

Additionally, the brick pavers within the Circle of Honor are inscribed with the names of over
750 U.S. service men and women, symbolizing their support for our Armed Forces. The pavers
are red, the pillars are white, and the sky is blue to represent America’s flag. The circle represents
an unbreakable border.

Anthem resident and chief engineer, Jim Martin, was responsible for aligning the memorial
accurately with the sun.
