This does not need an introduction. Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I ache inside. But I'm always grateful.

Larry, thankyou. God Bless each and every WARRIOR and the families behind them.

Thanks Larry, I cried again!!! as I generally do over such things. Certainly gives one a respect for our Army and Marine brothers ashore exchanging small arms fire up close and personal. God bless them all, bring tem all home safely. george

Larry,
I cried. Sorry George, not trying to be redundant. Thank you for that link Larry!
Huah!

For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.

Thanks Larry...
God bless all our Veterans and God bless these wonderful United States.

Remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One (if you believe)died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Probably get smoked for this but who cares...

Boogity--
Awesome video, thanks for posting the link.

Crunchy,
I second your comment...it rings true to me!

Crunchy, I dont find anything wrong with your post here. Kelli might. I have never known any military person that didnt have that belief, possibly not as strong as some others, but they all beleived. george

Wow, I saw my name and just had to be nosy.

Geo, as if you would get smoked.... I happen to have a brother serving overseas at this time, and a son who just got out to go to school full-time. So smoked, not!

***Shhhh! Just don't go into depth with politics, government and religion.

Hugs,

Well, George....you and I have obviously travelled in different circles....I have known many military persons that didn't and don't have that belief. I have known several who have died in service to their country that did not have that belief.

Such a narrow-minded statement ignores totally those of other religions that have served and died for the country. Also ignores those who do not believe and who have served and died for their country.

It is not necessary to be a Christian or a believer in order to be a patriot and to love and be willing to die for your country.

Kellie....I sense that the restriction posed in the forum regarding posts on religion and politics may be judged by you based on whether you agree or disagree with the post, not any objective standard.

At least your posts here would indicate that bias.

Is this kind of crap really necesary on here? I believe George posted his belief and now someone wants to challange HIS belief. Good god, man, give it a break. Post your beliefs and let others have theirs. You are not the one who assigns beliefs.

And frankly I dont care what Kellie thinks, it what I think that matters..... Author..Bowtiepuller
