We must never forget who 
Gets the credit for the freedoms we have,
of which we should be Eternally grateful. 

I watched the flag Pass by one day, 
It fluttered in the breeze. 

A young Marine Saluted it, 
And then he stood at ease.. 

I looked at Him in uniform 
So young, so tall, so proud, 
With hair cut square 
And eyes alert 
He'd stand out in any crowd. 

I thought how many men Like him 
Had fallen through the years. 
How many died on foreign Soil 
How many mothers' tears? 

How many pilots' planes Shot down? 
How many died at sea 
How many foxholes were soldiers' Graves? 
No, freedom isn't free 

I heard the sound of Taps One night, 
When everything was still, 
I listened to the bugler Play 
And felt a sudden chill. 

I wondered just how many times 
That Taps had meant 'Amen,' 
When a flag had draped a Coffin. 
Of a brother or a friend. 

I thought of all the Children, 
Of the mothers and the wives, 
Of fathers, sons and Husbands 
With interrupted lives. 

I Thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea 
Of unmarked graves in Arlington. 

No, freedom isn't free.

1. Dan & Melissa – traveling safety tomorrow

A LETTER FOR PARENT”S TO CONSIDER:
*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.

 *Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

 *Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I     love you.

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.

*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and  mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer.. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers.. The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.'  The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.'  The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to
collect all the money!'

A police recruit was asked during the exam, 'What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?' He answered, 'Call for backup.'

A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem.. A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.'

What the Bible says to do with the Scriptures:
Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deut. 11:19
