And yes- blessed be the Marine, and Sean...and all the men who do- and HAVE (including your father and mine) put themselves in harms way-<BR/>Hugs friend :)<BR/><BR/>Crash-<BR/>It's so easy to please you! I should make a whole blog dedicated to you and your love of high heels!<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Scary-<BR/>It was definitely a justification for their actions. Glad to remind you of the treasures of home...<BR/>thanks for your response here- and yes...I agree with you- X.Dell is one of the most intelligent bloggers you or I will ever encounter in our life times- he is a brilliant man- and I have had the great pleasure of meeting him-<BR/><BR/>Skindiver- Thank you...and I ALWAYS learn something from you- I appreciate you being here. I have done a few takes of the video :) I just need the time to finish it up :)<BR/><BR/>Boneman-<BR/>Ahhh- the 2nd half...<BR/>Me and "She" are in the same boat. I'm struggling here- and I'm not sure things will be straightened out until 2012- at which time we'll be past the novelity of our 1st woman president- who will be an ABJECT FAILURE- and we will, as a country, be ready to deal with the issues at hand. Too high taxes, immigration, and islamofacists...<BR/>Until then- we might be better off in the Caribbean...<BR/>call me if you think you want to hide out with me :)<BR/><BR/>Leelee- I hope so too...as a country, we need our men home- even though I understand and appreciate all that they are fighting for. I do think this is a war like we have never seen- just read CAIR's home page. This is a scary time for Americans- and if we don't have the fortitude of our forefathers...<BR/>we will not survive.<BR/><BR/>Little Lamb-<BR/>My dad was in the Navy-<BR/>Both Uncle's in the Army during Vietnam-<BR/>My grandfather in WWII- <BR/>Yes...it runs deep in my family- to say the least.<BR/>Perhaps one day I'll be a teacher <BR/>of English in parts unknown...as my civic duty to eradicate socialisim- sigh...we'll see-<BR/><BR/>Phos-<BR/>Family and country-<BR/>DEFINIELY worth fighting for!<BR/>Thanks for being here Phos- hugs for you and all the sand that surrounds you. Stay cool...<BR/>I'm in NC if you decide to move! :)<BR/>No sand here at all- just trees, and rivers, and tad poles in buckets if you leave them alone long enough!<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>lyMayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-9120957030149964752007-07-05T21:51:00.000-05:002007-07-05T21:51:00.000-05:00Family and country - all worth fighting for, no??Family and country - all worth fighting for, no??The Phosgene Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398079881174725139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-50572310601176353442007-07-05T20:06:00.000-05:002007-07-05T20:06:00.000-05:00You're tagged.You're tagged.Little Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874577293821464232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-17418021609920471312007-07-05T20:00:00.000-05:002007-07-05T20:00:00.000-05:00I do admire our military.

Not all of our military came back ok from that war.<BR/><BR/>Our military needs to be thanked for what they do and how they put their lives in danger for our freedom. Freedom is not free.

For reminding me that although me be living far from me place of birth and sometimes be uncertain that the present leadership be misguided and unconcerned with anything but their own affairs, the country of me birth were started by great men who understood the value of life and the meaning of earning ones own freedom.<BR/><BR/>Me also really liked the way you framed the pics to reveal your story. Very touching. Very nice.<BR/><BR/>A final word- Me be somewhat surprised by x. dell's comment. He be one of the most intelligent personalities Me has seen around bloggyland. They seemed not to be so much a response to charges, but rather a justification or elucidation for the acts of rebellion that preceeded the actual drafting of the document. But me could be wrong.<BR/>STOMP.Scary Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696640067623584730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-81663681169274072442007-07-04T09:47:00.000-05:002007-07-04T09:47:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scary Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696640067623584730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-87368166274420975172007-07-04T08:46:00.000-05:002007-07-04T08:46:00.000-05:00god bless america--although it was the French who ...god bless america--<BR/>although it was the French who invented high heels.Crashtest Comichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548428734581389272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-62327608496112289632007-07-04T08:35:00.000-05:002007-07-04T08:35:00.000-05:00ps. coe-ruh. stop by chickory's. i want you to see...ps. coe-ruh. stop by chickory's. i want you to see my small town parade pix.sparringK9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08031137344229440004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-38449418765417390242007-07-04T08:34:00.000-05:002007-07-04T08:34:00.000-05:00....."That whenever any Form of Government becomes........"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.".......<BR/><BR/><BR/>right on. its where we are now. <BR/>great post mayden and good to have you home safe. <BR/>blessed be the marine, sean and all the ones who put themselves in harms way for the republic.sparringK9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08031137344229440004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-695401579463445682007-07-03T20:11:00.000-05:002007-07-03T20:11:00.000-05:00I've never read the Declaration of Independence be...I've never read the Declaration of Independence before this.
