Santa Barbara Beach ... Thx Pidge F!

	This is  quite amazing

  
   SANTA  BARBARA BEACH ................ 
   
   
   
   
   
 The first  to the last picture are taken at the beach in  Santa Barbara right next to the  Pier.   There is a veterans group that  started putting a cross and candle for every  death in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The amazing  thing is that they only do it on the  weekends.

They  put up this graveyard and take it down every  weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and  keep watch over it at night so nobody messes  with it.   Every cross has the name,  rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.Very moving,  very powerful.   So many young  volunteers.   So many 30 to 40 year  olds as well.

Amazing!

The ACLU  (American Civil Liberties Union) has filed a  suit to have all Military Cross-shaped  headstones removed.

And that they filed  another suit to end prayer from the military  completely.   They're making great  progress.

The Navy Chaplains can no  longer mention Jesus's name in prayer thanks to  the ACLU and our new administration.

Keep forwarding  this e-mail to others.   I'm not  breaking this one.   I'm asking that  you don't break it either.

If I get it a 1000  times, I'll forward it a 1000 times!    Prayer for all allied soldiers... please don't  break it!   Please send this on after  a short prayer.

Please, let us  pray:  GOD BLESS  YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!
   
   

A different monument ... thx Clay and Carol V!

NINETY-NINE YEARS AGO
  

A boy chained his bike to a tree, then went to fight World War I.

   The tree is on Vashon Island, which is between Tacoma and Seattle, Washington.
Quite amazing!

For Memorial Day ... Thx Sonny H!

MEMORIAL DAY             Keep it moving, please, even if you've seen it before. It is the  VETERAN, not the preacher,  who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,  who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.   It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.    It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote. It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag,  It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag,  ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.   God, Bless them all!!!       Makes You Proud To Be An American!   Have a safe Memorial day/weekend,  and remember to pray for our active military, as well as our veterans.  You never know what God has in store, and you can make all the plans you want, but at the end of the day, whatever is going to happen is going to happen..
