    Happy Veterans Day

    For those who served. Those who came back, and those who did not.

    No problem. Thanks.


    ""We cannot walk alone," the preacher cried. "And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess." Barack Obama

    The Bridge Builder

    An old man going a lone highway,

    Came, at the evening cold and gray,

    To a chasm vast and deep and wide.

    Through which was flowing a sullen tide

    The old man crossed in the twilight dim,

    The sullen stream had no fear for him;

    But he turned when safe on the other side

    And built a bridge to span the tide.



    “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,

    “You are wasting your strength with building here;

    Your journey will end with the ending day,

    You never again will pass this way;

    You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,

    Why build this bridge at evening tide?”



    The builder lifted his old gray head;

    “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,

    “There followed after me to-day

    A youth whose feet must pass this way.

    This chasm that has been as naught to me

    To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;

    He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

    Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”

    Thank you to those that served and those serving.

    “Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us.”
    ~ President Ronald Reagan, 1983

    Peter, thank you for your service and thank you to all the present, former and service men & women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
