TROOPS TO GET BUCK KNIVES AFTERALL !!! YEAH!!!

~~GREAT NEWS, I KEPT THE FAITH, & OUR WARRIORS WILL GET THEIR THANK YOU GIFTS!! But the story has holes in it,like the head of the moron who stopped the tradition! =^.^= ~ They claim thewhole situation was just amisunderstanding COEUR d'ALENE -- The U.S. Navy says somebody got their signals crossed when it came to honoring veterans. The Navy claims it never blocked its personnel from accepting commemorative Buck Knives as a "thank you" for serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Unfortunately, it was a misunderstanding and the word got out wrong," Navy spokesman Adam Bashaw said in a phone interview from New Orleans. "We wanted to hold off until we made sure everything was above board. It's always great when people support the troops returning back home." Roughly 40 reservists are set to get the special knives at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Buck Knives manufacturing plant in Post Falls. Graham Crutchfield, a retired Marine, organized the commemorative knife program and said he was elated with the Navy's decision. "It's such a relief," Crutchfield said Tuesday. "I am glad they'll get the recognition they deserve." Lt. Troy Gilbert previously said an unidentified senior Naval officer told a member of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion based out of Hayden, the knives exceeded a $20 value. That amount exceeds the U.S. Department of Defense's limit on gifts. Navy Capt. Michael Kidd sent Post Falls Mayor Clay Larkin an e-mail that outlines the Department of Defense's reasoning behind allowing the gift program to continue. "The current offer is a continuation of this practice and reflects an intent on the part of the donors to make these gifts available to a broad class of personnel returning from deployment," the military opinion states. "Gifts offered by non-prohibited sources to a group of personnel that do not distinguish on the basis of official responsibility or favor higher rank or pay may be accepted by those personnel. This exception applies when all members of a particular unit are offered gifts, which appears to be the case in this instance." Gilbert said Tuesday that he was pleased with the Navy's ruling on the knives. "We're getting the desired end result regardless of what it took to get here," Gilbert said. "The guys are going to get the recognition they deserve." Crutchfield helped raise money for the knives from individuals, service clubs and businesses. More than 500 Inland Northwest veterans, including those wounded and killed in combat, have received special knives since the program's inception in 2005.

MORONS Say R TROOPS ONLY DESERVE a $20 THANKS!!!

~~~A LOCAL STORY HERE In IDAHO,NAVY BLOCKS KNIFE GIVEAWAYS!SOME DIRTBAGZ STOP US FROM GIVING TOKEN OF APPRECIATION!=^.^= ~~~~~~ RULE PLACES A $20 LIMIT ON GIFTS!!!! COEUR d'ALENE -- As far as the U.S. Navy is concerned, the Buck stops here. Veterans of the Iraq War are being told they can't receive a commemorative Buck knife as a "thank you" for their service and sacrifice. "Someone put up a red flag and said we can't do it," said Lt. Troy Gilbert, a member of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion based out of Hayden. "There's a $20 limit in value that a service member can accept as a gift. These knives are valued at $103." Gilbert said roughly 40 reservists were going to each receive a special knife made by Buck Knives during an April 5 ceremony. "I am trying to see what can be done," Gilbert said. "I know the Navy JAG is looking at the legality of it. We might be able to get around this rule." Graham Crutchfield, a retired Marine, organized the commemorative knife program by raising money for the knives and is incensed with the Navy's edict. "It makes no sense and it defies logic," Crutchfield said. "A private citizen can't give one of our troops a gift for putting their lives at risk because of some bureaucratic nonsense. It's an insult to the American people." The problem began when Gilbert was trying to get some positive publicity from the Navy on the program. His efforts backfired when a senior officer said the gifts violated Navy regulations. "A lot of people have the 'Can't do attitude,'" Gilbert said. More than 500 Inland Northwest veterans, including those wounded in combat, have received special knives since the program's inception in 2005. "We haven't had any problems with any of the services until now," Crutchfield said. "All of the funds are contributed from folks who live in the area. We've had individuals, businesses, and service clubs make donations so that we as a people can express our appreciation for what these youngsters are going through on behalf of our children and grandchildren." CJ Buck, president and CEO of Buck Knives, said he was amazed by the Navy's decision to forbid its personnel from receiving the special knives. "I had no idea it would be a problem," Buck said. "Here's an individual trying to honor soldiers. It seems to be a shame." PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-) www.TheKarpetKitten.com

HUSH,HUSH SWEET GOVERNMENT...SNEEKY,SNEEKY!!!

Last Thursday night the U.S. House of Representatives held a "secret," or closed, session to discuss controversial electronic surveillance legislation, over some objections that withholding it from the public wasn't necessary. According to the Congressional Research Service, last week's was the sixth secret session since 1812 for the House. Before 1929 the Senate routinely conducted business in closed session; since 1929 there have been 53. Modern practice is to close proceedings to discuss confidential information, impeachment deliberations, sensitive information from the president, and national security/military issues. Meetings of the Constitutional Congress and Convention were held in secret. Closed sessions are authorized by Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution. Any member of Congress can call one, and those who attend are forbidden to publicly divulge what went on. However, on occasion the members vote to have some portion of the transcript published in the congressional record. Since 1812, the closed sessions of the House have been to consider relations with Indian tribes (1825), a bill regarding trade with Britain (1830), the Panama Canal Act (1979), Cuban involvement in Nicaragua (1980), U. S.-supported paramilitary ops in Nicaragua (1983), and electronic surveillance legislation (2008). Since 1929, the Senate has met secretly on many topics, including contempt and impeachment (judicial and presidential), investigations of government contracts, military policies and war reports, WMDs, intelligence operations, unnamed legislation, trade with China, vaguely identified national security issues, and aircraft/other sales to certain countries. Thursday night's came after several weeks of deadlock over the surveillance legislation, mainly retroactive immunity for telecom companies who aided the government in questionable wiretaps. Two versions of the bill amending current law (FISA) existed -- one passed by the Senate and supported by the president that included the immunity, and the other introduced in the House without it. Friday morning the House passed the version without the immunity.

U.S. Awards 2nd LARGEST MILTARY CONTRACT EVER 2 FRANCE!!! what the F' ??

The second largest military contract ever handed out by our government (for more than $35 billion) to build new air tankers for the Air Force to replace its aging KC-135 tankers, was just awarded to an American firm -- but the tankers will be built in their subsidiary in France, a company which also builds the Airbus, Boeing's major competitor. The states of Washington and Kansas, the two largest manufacturers of Boeing planes, have risen up in wrath against the government's awarding all this work for perhaps the next decade to a company in France, when the economy in our own country is presently in a recession, and probably headed for a depression under the present administration. Awarding contracts to firms with European ties is not unusual. Large military contracts have been manufactured in Italy as well as in Germany over the past decade. Let us take a look at the background of this contract. It was only a few months ago that Boeing entered into a contract to lease 100 air tankers to the Air Force for a period of 20 years, after which time the planes would still be owned by Boeing. Sen. McCain was probably the only senator objecting to this leasing arrangement, since he felt that the Air Force should own the tankers, since the purpose of these new planes was to replace the Air Force's aging KC-135 tankers presently more than half a century old, with the oldest of them stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. The Fairchild planes would be the first ones replaced if this new contract proceeds. However, the leasing contract was turned down by the government because all of a sudden, an investigation showed that the key chief Air Force Procurement officer was being paid to make sure that Boeing received that contract -- further, she was to be hired by Boeing at a six-figure salary upon her forthcoming retirement from the Air Force. Both she and Boeing's chief officer who had arranged this sweet deal are serving time in federal prison today. Naturally, due to this history, Boeing's bid on the replacement air tankers was rejected. A new contract with more stringent requirements was put out for bid. When the bids came in, the successful firm, with its French partner, met the higher requirements in four out of five major components of the bid and tied Boeing on the fifth. All hell is breaking loose at this moment. Labor leaders are saying we need the jobs in this country more than France needs the jobs. They are saying also that Boeing is one of the finest military aircraft builders in the U.S.; that France for years has heavily subsidized its industries, including Airbus. Because of the subsidies to French farmers, Great Britain for years refused to become a part of the European Union. It was only half a century ago when I was in the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships that the Navy gave out a bid for destroyers to a French shipbuilding firm. The arguments then were very similar to those of today except that the French government had known Communists as ministers in their government, and we at the time were still in the heyday of McCarthyism. The Navy was obliged to back down because of the uproar in this country. But should we back down on the present air tanker contract? Should we reward corporations who lie, cheat and commit criminal acts to win military contracts? I, for one, felt that Boeing should not have been allowed even to bid on this contract at all. Boeing, which once had a splendid record of quality products and quality work a number of years ago, sort of lost its way when old officers retired, new ones took over and moved the headquarters from Seattle to Chicago; when they expanded into all sorts of military fields. Prior to that time, military contracts had been a very small part of Boeing's business. Should we reward a company that presently holds three large military contracts, but has had cost overruns of many billions of dollars? Should we reward a company that has been responsible for shoddy workmanship on part of a fence being built for national security purposes between Mexico and the Arizona/Texas border? Should we reward a company which doesn't care about either its employees or their morale, or the quality of the work it puts out, but only the size of its bottom line? It has been only a very few years since, my very good friend visited a friend in Seattle who is retired from a very responsible job with Boeing. He toldthem that the company is no longer the same. He has two sons plus two sons-in-law presently working at Boeing, all of whom say they no longer have any pride in their company, nor have they any faith in the product they produce. The forthcoming presidential election of 2008 is all about change -- change in the way we do business; changing from corporate control of the federal government to a people-controlled federal government. How can we expect to change the corporations as long as we kowtow to them on the basis of more jobs temporarily, rather than the morality of a good job done, backed by a corporation's hard-earned good name? Yes, Mr. Bush; let's create your legacy and accept the fact that the government should be run by the people, for the people, and not by the corporations, for the purpose of fattening their own bottom lines. The good you are doing in Africa won't wipe out the harm you have done to this country by your corporate-controlled government. www.TheKarpetKitten.com PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)

Presidential Trivia 4 You 2 Chew On

Executive trivia ~~Here are some interesting presidential facts 4 you~~~ R• Vice presidents were the presidential candidates receiving the second-largest number of electoral votes until the Twelfth Amendment was passed in 1804, changing the system so the electoral college voted separately for president and vice president. Gradually the presidential candidate was allowed at least informally to choose his own running mate at the nominating convention. • For two years the nation was led by a president and vice president who were not elected by the people. When Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973, President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as vice president. Nixon resigned the following year, which left Ford as president. Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller as VP. • Nine presidents never attended college: Washington, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, A. Johnson, Cleveland and Truman. • Harvard boasts the most alumni as presidents (six, but with varying grade point averages): J. Adams, J.Q. Adams, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt, Kennedy and G.W. Bush. Wilson was the only president with a Ph.D. • The ancestry of all presidents so far is limited to the following seven European heritages: Dutch, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Swiss or German -- out of balance with a cross-section of the people they represent. • The height of presidents has ranged between 5'4" (Madison) and 6'4" (Lincoln) • Fourteen -- about a third -- served as vice presidents: J. Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, Arthur, T. Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, Nixon, L. Johnson, Ford and George Bush. • Adams, Jefferson and Monroe all died on the Fourth of July; Coolidge was born on that day. Adams and Jefferson also died the same year: the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. • Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address at 1 hour, 45 minutes. He also had the shortest presidency: one month. • While in the primaries and caucuses much emphasis is placed on larger states such as California, Florida and New York, others can also be important. No Republican has ever won a presidential election without carrying Ohio. S PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)

UPDATE:USS NY WARSHIP!! World Trade Iron machine

9/11 ship nearly ready If everything is on schedule, the nearly finished USS New York, built with salvage from the World Trade Center, will be commissioned soon. She will sail as a permanent memorial to all who lost their lives as a result of 9/11. The 684-foot warship has been under construction by Northrop Grumman since 2004, after being awarded the contract late in 2003. Twenty-four tons of steel from the World Trade Center wreckage was melted to cast the bow stem. The bow stem is the foremost part of a ship; it cuts first through the water and provides hull integrity. While she's not the first ship named for the state of New York, her naming did not originate in the normal fashion. Shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, Gov. George Pataki asked the secretary of the U.S. Navy to bestow the name USS New York on a surface warship involved in the war on terror, to honor the victims. The request was approved the following year. The ship is scheduled for a commission ceremony on March 1 in Avondale, La., with official delivery to the Navy in 2009. The namesake and steel of this San Antonio-class amphibious ship are not its only milestones. Sea vessels are built space-efficient, and civilians who've toured retired military ships know how tight it feels to move around. The USS New York's design has been modified, so sailors can navigate throughout her more easily and more quickly. "Electronically, we took the average Marine in full battle gear and ran them through the passageways of a three-dimensional model," said Woody Oge, site director of New Orleans Operations, NGSS, in a military press release. "(W)hat we found in the initial design was we had to do some slight tweaking of piping system and power distribution or move certain systems, so we have a Marine move through the passageways unencumbered. This was done throughout the ship." San Antonio-class ships embark, transport, and land elements of an assault landing force by helicopters, vertical take-off and landing aircraft, air cushion landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. The USS New York is designed to deliver a fully equipped battalion of 700 Marines. The ship is certainly formidable, with four 40,000-horsepower engines, two missile launchers, and surface threat weapons. Built in the New Orleans area, she already survived hurricane Katrina. Her motto is "Never forget." PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-) ww.ThekarpetKitten.com

2008:Ways 2 make yourself better,happier and sane!

START THE NEW YEAR BY TAKING SMALL STEPS TO BIG CHANGES JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot. JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer. JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I'll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today, I will refrain from improving anybody but myself. JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully -- if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it's only around the block. JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions. And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by I.J. Bhatia, a reader who lives in New Delhi, India: DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say: "Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature." The following prayer of Saint Francis contains a powerful message: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; "Where there is hatred, let me sow love; "Where there is injury, pardon; "Where there is doubt, faith; "Where there is despair, hope; "Where there is darkness, light; "Where there is sadness, joy; "O Divine Master, grant that I may not as much seek to be consoled as to console; "To be loved as to love. "For it is in giving that we are pardoned; "It is in dying that we are born to eternal life." And so, Dear Readers, may this New Year bring with it peace and joy. -- LOVE, ABBY PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)

AMEN!Serial KILLER Joe DUNCAN PLEADS GUILTY on all 10 charges!! YEAH!!!

Sex offender Joseph Duncan pleads guilty to killing three in deal with prosecutors!! Thank God Shasta gets spared from trial! The Groene Family thanks U all For your prayers! =^.^= PLEADS GUILTY ON ALL 10 CHARGES!!!!!! ANATOMY OF A PLEA DEAL Defense's Offer Joseph Duncan's lawyer offered in this letter to prosecutors that his client would admit to murder and molestation if the death penalty was taken off the table. The offer was rejected. State's Counter-Offer Prosecutors came back with a list of demands Duncan was to meet if he wanted to avoid trial, including facing the death penalty and not calling Shasta Groene to testify. Plea Deal Announcment Prosecutors announced a plea deal with Joseph Edward Duncan III on Oct. 16, 2006, the same day jury selection was slated to begin in his murder trial. Factual Basis Prosecutors submitted this vivid list of facts in the case to serve as a factual basis for Duncan's guilty plea. SHASTA GROENE FAMILY TRAGEDY •Oct. 16, 2006: Plea deal announced •Oct. 16, 2006: Jury selection canceled •Oct. 12, 2006: Shasta Groene deemed competent to testify •Oct. 6, 2006: Victims' father sues Joseph Duncan to prevent him from profiting off murders •Oct. 3, 2006: Prosecutors to seek death penalty By Emanuella Grinberg Court TV A 9-year-old girl was spared the ordeal of reliving her family's massacre after the man accused in the murders pleaded guilty Monday in a deal with Idaho prosecutors. On the day jury selection was supposed to begin in convicted sex offender Joseph Duncan's death penalty trial, Duncan instead pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping for the deaths of Brenda Groene, 40, her son Slade, 13, and Brenda's boyfriend Mark McKenzie, 37, in May 2005. As the sole survivor of the attack, Shasta Groene was expected to testify as a key witness for the state. But the plea deal ensures that Shasta will not have to face the man she claims kidnapped and molested her and her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, after the murders. Duncan was arrested in July 2005 at a Denny's restaurant outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where a waitress spotted him with Shasta. Dylan's remains were discovered later at a campsite in Montana. "Because Duncan's guilty pleas cannot be withdrawn, Shasta will never be required to relive the events of 2005 in a courtroom," Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney William Douglas said in a press release. "This case has left deep scars, and hopefully, this agreement will bring justice and closure to our community." In an agreement reached over the weekend, Duncan, 43, will receive three consecutive life sentences on the kidnapping charges, which stem from the manner in which Duncan detained the victims before their deaths. His sentencing on the murder charges has been delayed until the completion of his case in federal court for crimes that allegedly occurred against Shasta and Dylan Groene after they were kidnapped from the family's home. Duncan could still face the death penalty when he is formally indicted in federal court. Duncan's federal public defender, Roger Peven, told CourtTVnews.com that he expects an indictment later this week. As part of the agreement, Douglas also entered into the record a factual basis for the plea detailing the bloody crime scene that authorities discovered on May 16, 2005. "Slade was face down, dressed only in underwear. His head lay at the feet of his mother, Brenda," Douglas wrote. "His bludgeoned head lay in a blood pool." Both Brenda and Slade Groene were found lying face-down with their hands bound behind them with zip-ties. Brenda's feet were also bound with duct tape. "Beneath her head was a blanket saturated with blood and other skull matter," Douglas wrote. Mark McKenzie was also bound at the wrists and ankles with zip-ties. All three victims died from multiple blunt traumas to their heads. According to the document, Shasta told police that Duncan tied her up, tied up her 9-year-old brother, Dylan, and brought them outside, where she could hear McKenzie yelling in pain. She said she saw Slade walking around "acting injured." She said Duncan told her he had been staking out the family's home for at least two days before he launched his attack with the goal of abducting the two younger children. After Duncan's arrest, police seized several items from his rented Jeep Cherokee, including McKenzie's wallet, a bag of zip-ties, a sawed-off shotgun, handwritten letters signed Dylan and Shasta, a digital camera and a laptop. Douglas' agreement also requires that Duncan provide authorities with the encryption code to access secure files on the computer. "We're satisfied with the negotiated settlement that was reached on Mr. Duncan's behalf," Duncan's public defender, John Adams, told CourtTVnews.com. ~~Check out site 4 pics www.courttv.com/trials/duncan/101606_plea_ctv.html =^.^= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)

Sen. LARRY CRAIG: ITS RAINING MEN! What do Larry & Ted Haggard have in common? SAME GAY HOOKER!OMG!

: 8 Men Claim Encounters With Craig BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Eight men say they either had sex with Sen. Larry Craig or were targets of sexual advances by the Idaho lawmaker at various times during his political career, a newspaper reported. One of the men is the former escort whose allegations disgraced the Rev. Ted Haggard, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Idaho Statesman reported Sunday. The newspaper identified four men and reported details of the encounters they say involved Craig. It also reported the accounts of four other men who did not agree to be identified but who described sexual advances or encounters involving the conservative Republican, who opposes same-sex marriage and has a strong record against gay rights. Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after being accused by an undercover officer of soliciting sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and later called a news conference to deny that he is gay. The newspaper acknowledged that its report was not based on definitive evidence but said it also found no evidence to disprove the accounts of the four identified men. It said it reviewed the senator's travel records, which put him where the sex is alleged to have taken place, and did background checks on those making the allegations. Craig and members of his staff declined to comment to the newspaper. But in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press on Sunday, the senator said the newspaper's report was "completely false" and he accused the paper of careless journalism. "It is unfortunate that the Idaho Statesman has chosen to continue to lower itself to the standards of what can best be described as tabloid journalism," Craig said in the statement. "Despite the fact the Idaho Statesman has decided to pursue its own agenda and print these falsehoods without any facts to back them up, I won't let this paper's attempt to malign my name stop me from continuing my work to serve the people of Idaho." The report is the Statesman's latest on allegations about Craig's sexual background since his June arrest in an airport men's room sex sting operation was reported in late August. Statesman Editor Vicki Gowler said the newspaper spent several months checking the backgrounds and details of the men's stories. "We believe it's important for you to know what we've learned and to hear the men's own words," Gowler said. Two of the identified men and one of the unidentified men told the newspaper they had sex with Craig. One of the men identified in the report, Mike Jones, 50, described as a former male escort, was the focus of the sex scandal involving Haggard, the disgraced leader of Colorado's New Life Church. Jones said Craig paid him $200 for sex in late 2004 or early 2005. The encounter took place at a studio apartment in downtown Denver, Jones said. Jones told the Statesman that he did not recognize Craig until his arrest made the news. The newspaper reported that Jones went on the record after Craig appeared in a television news report in August to address the arrest and his future in politics. Jones has written a book about his experience with Haggard and acknowledged to the Statesman that his allegation about Craig might help sales. A message left for Jones by The Associated Press through his publisher Sunday evening was not immediately returned. Current phone numbers could not be found for the three other men identified in the Statesman's report. Amid pressure from top GOP leaders in Washington, Craig announced his intent to resign from the Senate. He later changed his mind, deciding to finish out his term, which expires in January 2009. He is also appealing in Minnesota courts to have his guilty plea overturned. The undercover police officer who arrested Craig said the senator moved his foot next to the officer's foot and tapped it in a way that indicated he wanted sex. He also alleged the senator sent a signal by swiping his hand under the divider between men's room stalls. Craig has said the officer misconstrued those motions. =^.^= PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)

VETERANS DAY THOUGHTS 2007

ONE IN FOUR? On this Veterans Day, some news That should make us all ashamed And there's plenty to go around To all those who should be blamed. Though, it's really not, new news The bad way, we treat our Vets In this Land, that they keep Free That's about as low as it gets. We should have NO homeless In this richest Land on Earth But especially not, those who served Like they have outlived, their worth. That's the way some are treated Once, they put away their gun They serve and fight in our Wars Then, cast aside when War is done. Today, we are still at War But many Heroes who just fought Are already living on the street And we don't give it a second thought. Shame on us, America To treat our Vets this way Shame on our so-called leaders Whose folks, aren't those who pay. “Heroes”, when we need them “Homeless”, much too soon A little help, is all they need They're not asking for the Moon. Giving them, what we promised And to fulfill, our obligation For when we don't keep our word It leaves a blight upon our Nation. A Hero is still a Hero Whether in uniform or not And between us and oppression These Heroes are all we've got. Service should be mandatory For each American citizen With no excuses, pay their debt For living in this great Nation. If all the rich and powerful Had to send their young to serve You can bet, most every Vet Would get, all that they deserve. So, when you see those homeless Just know, that one in four Served our Nation Honorably And we owe them so much more. Del “Abe” Jones 10.10.2007 THROWAWAY SOLDIERS With the one hand they seem to give And with the other, take away “We always will support our Troops!” But, they don’t do what they say. They promise all those benefits As you Raise your hand and Swear To Do Your Duty, Serve Your Country Anytime, and Anywhere. You keep your end of the Bargain And Follow Orders to a tee Even lay your Life on the Line So that others might be Free. You don’t ask for a whole lot Just to be treated with Respect Promises kept and Honesty From those People you Protect. But, too often those in Power Will Betray you without Shame Break those Vows they made Like it was only just a Game. It’s called, “Throwaway Soldiers” And the Vets will always lose Because you Play by the Rules While they will Play as they chose. Del “Abe” Jones VETERAN'S DAY, 2007 Another year we've been at War And a record year, of Heroes killed Will our hopes for an end to it Never, ever be fulfilled? The cost has been tremendous And surely, they don't tell us all Worse, loss of life and mind and limb As our Troops, continue to fall. Some, deployed several times More, than we should rightly ask But, they will go and do their Duty To carry out, their given task. Nearly four thousand gave their all Almost thirty thousand hurt Who tried to bring some civility To that far-a-way, ancient, desert. Many folks are against the War And there's some who do protest But one thing most all, agree on Our Military, is the very best. Let's not forget families and loved ones All, who serve our Country, too Who sacrifice and suffer for us With Patriotism, proud and true. Some of them will lose their Heroes And will hurt and cry and grieve And when handed that folded Flag They will say, "I still believe!" Maybe, "Mission accomplished!" One day, will actually be true But, till then, we must support them And tell them, "Thanks, for all you do!" And we must remember all those Who served our Country in the past To make our Nation Free And to make sure it will last. Del "Abe" Jones 11.06.2007 NOVEMBER 11TH There are so many little towns That make up this great nation And the heroes from them Boggle the imagination. Those who answer the call In peace and wartime's strife Who give of themselves So, we can live this life. Some go and fight those wars Some die, some hurt, survive But all that they believe in Is what keeps freedom alive. It is all those little towns And people who live there Who stand and fight for freedom For people, everywhere. Somebodys dad or brother Husband, daughter or son Mother, sister, cousins We all, know someone. Who, when freedom was threatened Here at home, around the world Were determined to insure Freedoms flag remained unfurled. They believe and fight for The things this world needs They might not always win But they will have planted seeds. In time of peace or conflict There is always a price to pay And today, we pay them tribute On this Veterans Day.VETERANS DAY 2002 Well, here we are, once again With Veterans, in heart and mind Still trying to heal, from 9/11 Facing Saddam, and his kind. With a new War, looming And the one that we now fight Our Soldiers and our Nation Willing , to do whats right. Its not something, we want But, something, that we must As long as we, all believe Our cause, is true and just.

OUR AMERICAN FLAG : WHY ITS FOLDED 13 TIMES.... HAPPY VETERANS DAY

FLAG: Why is it folded 13 times? In the armed forces of the United States, at the ceremony of the retreat, the flag lowered, folded in a triangle fold and kept under watch throughout the night as a tribute to our nation's honored dead. The next morning it is brought out, and at the ceremony of reveille, run aloft as a symbol of our belief in the resurrection of the body. 1. The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. 2. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life. 3. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world. 4. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance. 5. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong." 6. The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 7. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. 8. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother's Day. 9. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded. 10. The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born. 11. The 11th fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 12. The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nation's motto, "In God We Trust." After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges and freedoms we enjoy today. According to a veteran group, the meaning of the folding of the flag is not in the Federal Flag Code. The code does not call for a ceremonial folding of the flag and the folding procedure was traditional. Same for the meanings of the folds. Nobody seems to know when or where that originated or who wrote it. Official or not, the statement has gained status as the traditional meaning of the folds and was found in many governmental and military manuals and even today is recited at numerous military funerals. PLEASE RESPECT,THANK,HONOR,SUPPORT & PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS,VETS,FIRST RESPONDERS and THEIR FAMILIES ;-)
