 My today's thoughts

GREAT AMERICANS












Tonight we watched the Fox News
There were two  American soldiers being interviewed
both had been wounded in Iraq
Juanita's arm was wounded I am not sure where Carl was  wounded
both told the same story
She was stationed in Hawaii when
she received her order to go to Iraq
He was in New Jersey
She said that was her proudest moment
that if she had to do it over she would go again
that it was worth the fight
Carl said about the same thing
They were proud of what they had done and would
do it over again if they could
They had done many wonderful things for the people over there
They were privileged to help free people that were enslaved
by a madman



I am so proud of these men and woman who are willing
to give their all for us and to free people that are living in bondage
We in American can't even begin to imagine what they had to endure
Did I say that they were African American soldiers
They were-and what GREAT AMERICANS they are
We can be proud of them and the other that are
protecting us daily
I pray that God will keep all of them safe and in the
hollow of His hand
