Remember . . .

It was the Veteran, not the reporter,
who has given us the freedom of the press.

It was the Veteran, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It was the Veteran, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to fair trial.

It was the Veteran, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Veteran, who salutes the flag,
who served under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Written by Father Denis Edward O’Brien, USMC

All Gave Some – Some Gave All

Thank You! We Remember!

Some Remain

For those of all wars that did make it back and whose mortal remains were never recovered. I pray that you rest easy and that your family know peace at last.

Blog Blast for Peace

I wrote a post about Blog Blast For Peace last month. Below is my peace globe for Texas RV Travel blog for Blog Blast for Peace 2011.

Angels for Peace

I believe in angels and think that humans need their help in saving our planet from war, pollution and pestilence. The also intervene for us with God:

When we worship God, our angels add their prayers and turn our single voices into hundred-part harmony.
~The Angels’ Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds,
~Anton Chekov~

Peace Globes

Today, I will have a different peace globe and a blog post on each of my blogs. Visit them if you wish: CoolAdzine for Marketers, Advertising for Success and Endangered Spaces.  To see all the peace globes or to become a Peace Blogger, visit Mimi Writes (blogspot.com). When you see a Peace Globe, add your voice to ours and say a prayer for peace.

We must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr ~

Whether you join us or not, please remember to pray for peace, so that every mother’s child has a chance to grow old in a world with enough food, clean water and health care.
