I'm PROUD to be an AMERICAN! Remembering Our Brave Soldiers...Let's say 'THANKS'!!!

Elizabeth - I've already done this about 100 times.  There is no doubt that our servicemen and women are sacrificing for us.  For this I am grateful and appreciative.  The families, though not on the front lines, are sacrificing just as much.  May God's blessings be with all.  Merry Christmas!

PS - I love the new photo!  You go, girl! 

Elizabeth, I was not born here but I am the first one on my feet when it's time for the national anthem.  Thanks for these links.  I'm there!

God Bless America. Land that we all should love. We need our troops. God bless them ALL. PS. You look great in your hat!!

Elizabeth, I was in the Army, your left, your left, your left, right left, 1972 to 1974 a long time ago! My father was in on the D-Day invasion 6-6-44. And my son has been to Iraq twice already.

Thanks for asking.

You did a wonderful job- getting the message out is so important! PS. The hat is adorable!

Elizabeth:

Thanks for this wonderful post.  Our troops need to know that the majority of Americans are thankful for our freedom.

Ok, ok, ok......

I am featuring this one too......

Please... not TOO many more of these,
my featured button is getting run down....

Just kidding.....BUT...I am not going to feature
too many more of these...they are all pointing
to the same website.......

ok?   =-)

Elizabeth-Your post is absolutely beautiful.  It's so exciting to me to see everybody reach out in this way and just imagine with all the blogs and all the people who are reading, what a difference this will all make?  God has put this impression upon so many and with wisdom, many are listening.  The video you have attached brings tears to my eyes.  The smiles on the faces of our troops show us that they really are doing this by completely looking outside of themselves. I don't think any one of them have a selfish bone in their bodies.   God bless you my friend and all of our soldiers.  

This type of post gets me teary eyed.  (The good kind and the reminiscing kind.)  Elizabeth, thank you for caring so much about our men and women away from home. 

Hi Elizabeth-I love your new photo!  I won't be on the rain for a few days....I am sending care packages to the troops.. This was my giving for the holiday season Season...such a small sacrifice for what the troops do for us!  I joined an organization...adoptaplatoon....

Elizabeth,

Thanks for the reminder. I just watched the movie, The Christmas Card, which was a low budget movie, but I liked it. It started with a Christmas card, sent by a complete stranger to a soldier in Iraq. That Christmas card made a deep impact o that soldier and was the catalyst for some great changes in the lives of a few people. I'll send mine today.

Thank you Elizabeth, That video gave me goosebumps we don,t know how lucky we are and our troops deserve all the support they can get. Also great new picture

God Bless You

CHRISTmas begins with CHRIST

Elizabeth, Thank you! Last month there was a donation bucket in a store front. When I emptied my wallet. One of the Veteran's began to cry, He was shocked. I told him the money was nothing compared to what he has done & could never repay him or his family.I am not sharing this to boost myself. However, just to say, OUR MEN & WOMEN SERVING & DONE SERVING, have paid such a price. So we need to make a point to watch for the Veteran's also and say thanks! The families that are currently serving here at home missing there loved ones need some hugs also. So thank you for bringing this to the table & praying for my loved ones and many more! GOD BLESS THEM ALL & EVERYONE PRAYING FOR THEM!

Hi Elizabeth -- Mindy's comments are so touching and true when we really think about what can and does happen to our men and women who serve in the armed forces.  Many of their lives and loves are changed forever, meaning way beyond their service they live with the good and bad of it.  Every year our church honors veterans and active military, and we are sending Christmas packages to the active military (some from our church) right now.  I am proud to proud to be an American, and proud to support our troops.  They are the soldiers more than the commanders and they need our prayers and appreciation.  Thanks for the post!

I will be so happy when they bring all of them home. My heart breaks for them. They deserve to be remembered, thought of and prayed for.

nice Post
