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.

Old Post Cards ... Thx Paul C!


 
While being a “Helicopter Crew Chief Instructor,” I’d go to Washington DC , with a few buddies almost every weekend.  We’d do the Smithsonian and all.
 
On the way back to Ft. Eustis (125 miles), we’d often stop for something to eat.
 
One time, it was getting late.  We landed in Falls Church , VA.   We saw an old general store that was still open.  We walked around on the old creaky floors looking for Frito's or something?  I came across, an old wire frame post card holder.  It was full of WWII post cards ... Penny a piece!
 
 
I asked the guy, "How much do you want for the Post Cards?"  He said, “A penny.  They have been here ever since he was a kid.”
I counted them ... 300 plus.  I gave him $4.00 and I got the rack, too.
In San Diego , I sold a bunch for $1..00 each. I still have a bunch to hand down.

I know some of you are too young to recall these posters and WWII, but they were a part of my life and others who are now "older than dirt".  These are great.  Pass them along, especially to your older e-mail friends. I wonder whatever happened to this kind of thinking.
 
 
I got a lump in my throat when I read this.  I "grew up" thinking: patriotism, it is the AMERICAN way!  I am glad to see that somebody saved them.  The statement at the end says it all!

These were our parents.

What in God's name have we let happen ?
 
I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like these!

Whatever happened?
 
70 years of ”progressive” education happened!
      Political correctness (or "re-education") happened, 
Lack of God's name happened, 
Lack of personal responsibility happened, 
Lack of personal integrity and honesty happened, 
Lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened, 
Lack of being an American happened.
Did all of these things die along with common sense? 
 
I for one am still proud to be an American! 
If you are too .... Pass this along,  so others can show their pride.
