This evening, at approximately 0830 hours, a special task force comprised of four fingers and one thumb, under the command of my Left Hand, conducted a surprise attack on a mosquito terrorist in the Right Bicep province.
This "sting" operation was a counter-attack in response to one of the terrorist's signature bloodsucking attacks. I am pleased to report that this covert operation has resulted in the death of the terrorist. The body was positively identified as a member of Al Qaeda, and the body was buried "at sea". I think you'll agree this represents a significant step in our global fight against terrorism. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

You said to love
All I see is hate Emotions swirling ‘round On this sacred date What must You think When I choose to hate When I turn from You To pursue my fate When I choose to hurt Instead of heal When I choose the fake Instead of the real When I choose to look At myself instead When I starve my Lord To make sure I’m fed I look beyond To the crimson cross And Your eyes still shine With love spread across On that cross so hard In Your eyes the love Yet I prefer the eagle And pervert the dove You said to love All I see is hate Lord give me your heart On this sacred date Copyright 2010 by Boyd Allen The following is from a blog that I read written by a Navy Chaplain who has served for 28 years; this is a small excerpt from his Veterans Day post. To read the entire post (which I highlyrecommend), or if you're interested in following his blog, visit his website at http://padresteve.wordpress.com.
We serve because we believe in the ideals of this nation and unlike wars past, the “Good Wars” where there were homecoming parades after surrender ceremonies we come home to a nation which mostly has not been at war, a nation that we have protected and served in harm’s way when most Americans were told to be patriotic after 9-11 by President Bush by “going shopping.” In the midst of all we serve, many of us volunteering for more, not because we like war, but because we believe in our country and in helping others come to know freedom. I know that amid the political cynicism that is so rampant that such idealism is derided by those who only see America as a force for evil, but such is not the case. By and large our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coastguardsmen serve not for college money or to simply have a job, but because we care about the country and know that by serving now that we will likely end up in a combat zone. We serve in unpopular wars and our sacrifice is to many people just a news bite in between economic, entertainment and sports stories. There are those on the left who despise us as much as they did those who served in Vietnam. Likewise there are those on the right who have no compunction about using us in the military until we are spent without sharing a whit in our sacrifice, without ever having put on a uniform much less seeing combat. This Veterans Day, my way of honoring those who are serving (or have served) is to be neither on the left nor the right. |
