As war looms, I am thankful for many things. I am thankful for the
privilege of being an American at a moment when the world is challenged by
tyrants and terror, and my country has stepped forward to bear the burdens
and pay the price of defending freedom.

I am thankful for a president who suffers slings and arrows for steadfastly
opposing evil, while other more sophisticated statesmen continue to appease
one of the cruelest monsters of our time.

I am thankful for a man who understands, unlike his predecessor, that
leadership is lonely and that the only thing necessary for the triumph of
evil is for good men to do nothing.

I am thankful for the U.S. military, not for the United Nations or any other
international organization, for it is the men and women of America's armed
forces who will be the guardians of civilization as we have known it.

I am thankful for their bravery, skills and sacrifice, which betray greater
courage and character than all of the screams and sloganeering from
Hollywood's stars and protesters, who understand little, and risk even less
in demonstrating against them.

I am thankful for our military that aims, with purpose and precision, to
destroy the enemy but spare innocent lives, even as our enemies plot to
poison, murder and maim as many innocent men, women and children as they
can.

I am thankful for allies like Great Britain, Spain and Australia, and as I
will remember their loyalty, I will not forget the betrayal of our
faithless, former friends.

I am thankful for the Coalition of the Willing, a mighty force for good
that, through victory in Iraq, can bring the promise of freedom, dignity and
a better life to millions in bondage who have known nothing but poverty,
torture and pain.

And, finally, I am thankful for an almighty God who, over the course of
human history, has cast his favor and blessings upon people consumed not by
hatred and evil, but by a sincere quest for truth, freedom and love.



"FOOTPRINTS"

One night I dreamed I was walking
Along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that
During the low periods of my life when I was

Suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me,
Lord, that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.

But I noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.

Why, When I have needed You most,
You have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."



God Bless all The Americans that fight for FREEDOM
