Todays Military Man. A Perspective

The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old vehicle, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He'll listen to rock and roll or hip-hop, rap, or jazz even swing, a 155mm howitzer that is.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.
He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He will march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march.He will obey orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you, if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed..He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except
our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. Now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.
Our female soldiers deserve the same respect as our men. They go through the same emotions that war can bring as our men do. Our female soldiers are just as brave and have the guts to do the job they signed up for. Never forget all of the men/women in the United States military. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Coastguardsman, Marine, or Airman, prayer is the very best one. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

Are We Really A Non-Christian Nation

In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer."

In 1988 President Reagan designated the First Thursday in May of each year as the National Day of Prayer.

In June 2007 (then) Presidential Candidate Barack Obama declared that the USA Was no longer a Christian nation.

This year President Obama, canceled the 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse Of "not wanting to offend anyone"

On September 25, 2009 from 4 am until 7 pm, a National Day of Prayer for the Muslim religion was Held on Capitol Hill, Beside the White House. There were over 50,000 Muslims that Day in DC.

I guess it Doesn't matter if "Christians" Are offended by this event - We obviously Don't count as "anyone" Anymore.

The direction This country is headed Should strike fear in the heart of every Christian. Especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be Converted they should be Annihilated


"OUR TIME HAS COME"
I hope that this Information will stir your spirit.

IN GOD WE TRUST.

Maybe someone, somehow can figure out a way to put America back on the map as it was when we were growing up, a safe place to live and by The Ten Commandments and Pledge of Allegiance.

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpation's, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation's, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. Author `AFRNGroup http://www.twitter.com/AFRNGroup

RETRIBUTION

You might want to print this, cut it out and put it on your fridge so you
won't forget!

Retribution is less than 1 year away!

Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.
U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the next 2-years
You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., decrease?
NO WAY .
Congress received a raise and has better health
and retirement benefits than you or I.
Why should they care about you?
You never did anything about it in the past.
You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care
about you?

Send the message to these individuals --- "YOU'RE FIRED!"

In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the
sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!

Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and
remind their replacements not to screw-up.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of
influence if you are finally tired of the
abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..

28th Amendment will be as follows:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the
citizens of the United States that does not
apply equally to the Senators or
Representatives, and Congress shall make no law
that applies to the Senators or Representatives
that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

Imagine What An Enlisted Soldier Must Go Through

Your away from your family and friends, Possibly fighting a war for the Freedom and Rights of Civilians and themselves. As their out in the fields of war, with their buddies at their side knowing the trust level is high. They are family, brothers and sisters trying to strive. Feelings of fear, anger and hurt as they see one of their brothers/sisters carried off on a stretcher or in a body bag. Thinking about their family at home, "Did I tell my wife I love her? will I see my new baby? Did I tell my family I love them"? Will I be going back home or will a stray bullet send me to God?

A Soldier is true to "The Constitution of The United States". The American Soldier is the truest Patriot on earth. If called upon to fight, there is no argument. A Soldier does it with Pride, Honor, Bravery and Dignity. A Soldier stands up for whats right and will stand up against any wrong. The respect for America a Soldier has, far exceeds most of what Americans feel for their Country. Without the American Soldier we would be totally enslaved. No freedoms to choose from. We will always have an enemy knocking on our door to take away anything we have left.

Respect our Soldiers and thank them for all they go through and do for America. Your freedoms depend on them as they depend on us for your support.

My Salute to all Military, Active Duty and Veterans.
My highest respect to you all and Thank-You
