In Memorium

Eight Belles the morning of the 2008 Kentucky Derby,
being galloped by her trainer, Larry Jones, in his Wranglers & boots.
Eight Belles was 3 years old, measured 17 hh, and was valued at $30 million.
Jeffrey says: "The first time i saw her breeze, I got goose bumps... seriously.
I knew she was special. She won three stakes in a row at Oaklawn; she set a
record
for the largest distance any stake there has ever been won by: 13 and 1/2 lengths
... she could have changed a lot of things about this industry ..."
but.
(the more speed, the more PSI per each footfall; one misstep, and...)

"This webpage is full of my favorite links, but also full of important facts.
That means it is not only my link page, but also my 'Signature Page...'
I know that we do not all share the same sentiments or political perspectives.
But when wise and fair people honestly considers the facts, their positions
may be justified w/ honor.
I feel that it is my duty to compile & present some of the most critical
facts of our times."

June 2006. By Rush Limbaugh: I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says so many really disturbing things about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt. Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well. You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense? However, our own U.S. Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month. I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting. |

Or - if we aren't talking just $Money, but are talking LIVES...
As of March 2008, since 09-11, we have now lost
4,000 heroes' lives to the war in Iraq;
who deliberately put themselves in harm's way, for our way of life in
America.
But. MORE than 46,000 innocent Americans
have been killed by illegal aliens since September 11,
2001
More Americans are murdered each year by illegal
aliens
than have died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

| Message from Iraq: "The proud warriors
of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades.
So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the
one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker
Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way
to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any
way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT
FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country. Semper
Fi." ~ 1st Sgt Dave Jobe The photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who have been lost. |

IRAQ and ROLL |

You can wave your signs and protest against America taking a stand, the stands America's taking are the reason that you can. If everyone would go for peace there'd be no need for war. But we can't ignore the devil, he'll keep coming back for more. Some see this in black and white, others only gray. We're not begging for a fight, no matter what they say. We have the resolution that should put 'em all to shame. It's a different kind of deadline when I'm called in the game. Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll, I'm back and I'm a hi-tech GI Joe. I pray for peace, prepare for war and I never will forget ~ there's no price too high for freedom so be careful where you tread. |
This terror isn't man to man, they can be no more than cowards. If they won't show us their weapons we might have to show them ours. Now it might be a smart bomb, they find stupid people too. If you stand with the likes of Saddam, well, one might just find you. Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll, I'm back and I'm a hi-tech GI Joe. I got infrared, I got GPS, I got that good old-fashioned lead. No price too high for freedom, so be careful where you tread. Now you can come along or you can stay behind or you can get out of the way. But our troops take out the garbage for the good old USA. Iraq, I rack 'em up and I roll. for the USA. |

| REMEMBER. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN! |

| John Gebhardt. John's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head... but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing. He is a real Star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do. You'll never see things like this in the news. The American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference. Even if it is just one little girl at a time. by James Gates, U.S. Navy | Marine Lance Cpl. Jose Murillo stands over two other Marines securing a street during a patrol in Saadah, Iraq. AP news. |
How did you sleep last night?
Bed a little lumpy...
Toss and turn any...
Wish the heat was higher...
Maybe the a/c wasn't on...
Had to go to the john...
Need a drink of water... ???



Yes.. It is like that!
Talk to your Creator - Count your blessings, & pray for them,
And the next time when...
The other car cuts you off and you must hit the brakes,
or you have to park a little further from Walmart than you want to be,
or you're served slightly warm food at the restaurant,
or you're sitting and cursing the traffic in front of you,
or the shower runs out of hot water,
Think of them... Protecting your freedom!
