Student leaders at a California college have touched off a furor by banning the Pledge of Allegiance at their meetings, saying they see no reason to publicly swear loyalty to God and the U.S. government.
Read the rest here.
Here’s why I swear loyalty to God and the U.S. government. So, that I can one day meet Cpl. Jason Dunham in God’s house, shake his hand, and thank him for his sacrifice. What an honor it will be to meet this man in Heaven.
An occupant of one of the cars attacked Dunham and the two fought hand to hand. As they fought, Dunham yelled to fellow Marines, “No, no watch his hand.” The attacker then dropped a grenade and Dunham hurled himself on top of it, using his helmet to try to blunt the force of the blast.
Still, Dunham was critically wounded in the explosion and died eight days later at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.
This marine was awarded the Medal of Honor today. Please take time this weekend to attend any event that honors our veterans. We owe them so much, and I only wish these California college students could understand. Today, I attended a celebration at my kid’s school, and it brought tears to my eyes.
God Bless Our Veterans.

You are right, I got this today;
It is the VETERAN , not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN , not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN , not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN , not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN , not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN , not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the VETERAN ,
who salutes the Flag,
Dave, that was beautiful!
God bless them. Each and every one. And their families, who serve also, but in very different ways. I thank all veterans and present military for your service with much gratitude.
God Bless Veterans, each and every one! God bless each and every person who serves in our military! Thank God for YOU! Without you, this country could not exist. Thanks to you who are serving and thanks to you who have served. Above all, thanks to our veterans!

Served, Serves, Serving and Vets.
Thank you all for protecting America, Me, and Mine
America is what it is because of you.
Many Thanks/Thank You
Blessings upon those who did serve, now serve, and will serve in the armed forces of the United States. Without their sacrifices we would not and will not be free people.
As an aside, it is the Second Amendment to the Constitution that protects the rest of the Bill of Rights and by extension protects the rest of the Constitution.
you can bet my flag is out today !
and, if you wish to send a care package to the troops; but are not sure how; this link can do that for you: http://www.opgratitude.com

Jason Dunham you are the definition of a hero, thank you dear one and may God bless and comfort your mother and father who raised such a wonderful young man. And I also look forward to meeting you in Gods house…
