  1. Someone posted on my memorial day post something about Blogging for Peace on June 6th. Well, I'm not against Peace, but I am also behind all our soldiers, and their mission. One of those soldiers is my big brother, pictured here. He is soon to depart on his second tour in IRAQ. His primary mission is to help restore the Infrastructure of the country, by getting the power systems up and running again.
    He is also teaching the Iraqi engineers how to do it themselves. The old "Teach a man to fish" idea. When asked if he would end this war today if he could, his response would be a definite NO! He can see the big picture, he has been in the trenches, shaken hands with the people we have sworn to protect. He has seen action, death, and victory in ways we don't even want to imagine.
    When asked if I would "Blog for Peace" My response is .... How about Peace of mind? Do you know WHY you have the freedom to run a campaign like blogging for a cause? Because soldiers like my big brother, gladly volunteer to go to other countries, under the banner of freedom, and to fight to give them a chance at the kind of life we americans take for granted. So they too can live with PEACE OF MIND.

  6. Good for you. I chose to honor June 6's WW by noting it's the anniversary of D-Day. Thank you to your brother and thank you to my kids' great uncles and thank you to all the other soldiers and veterans.

  7. I have yet to find a soldier, including my husband or his two brothers that WANTS to be deployed, yet all of them also see the usefulness and can say that there is definite progress being made that isn't being talked about enough . . . great post!!

Wordless Wednesday #5 ..... Introducing .... HAGRID_da_pig =D

More Wordless Wednedays HERE

Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force.

As hard as i try, the Force is strong, and they keep trying to pull over the innocent to the dark side. (we left the kids alone with thier Grandparents for 30 minutes, and this is what i come back to! You just can't trust anyone! ) "Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family." **sigh**, they ARE cute, maybe we could superimpose a Yankees symbol over her shirt? Then i could use it for Christmas pictures! :) "Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope." "Yoda spoke of another. " "The other he spoke of is your twin sister.........."

Wordless Wednesday #8.....May Your christmas be filled with Laughter and CAFFINE! :)
