Show your American Patriotism - Yellow Ribbon Support

Please Keep The Candle Going.....

I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean.
I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest.
I asked God for a friend, he gave me YOU.

"There is not enough darkness in the world to put out the light of one candle." 

The Candle of Love, Hope and Friendship

This candle was lit on the 11th of September, 2001. Someone who cares about you has helped keep it alive by sending it to you.

Please pass it along to someone you care for, too. 

"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. 
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or his culture.

Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in 
patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the
attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began 
complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. 
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants. 

However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. 

As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.  This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. 

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right-wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, a fact which is abundantly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. 

Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion, and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you're done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

We welcome everyone to our country with open hands who wish to live the American life, however if you prefer the way things are where you used to live. . .  then you should live there.

I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier at Valley Forge, as he holds his musket in his bloody  hands.   He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded  from months of battle and
emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his  family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.  

He stands  tough, with fire in his eyes and victory on his  breath.  He looks at us now  in anger and disgust and tells us this...I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the
Constitution and now your children  graduate too illiterate to read it.

I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the freedom to vote and you stay at home because it rains.

I left  my family destitute to give you the  freedom of speech and you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be  bad for business.

I orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has stolen democracy from the people.

It's the soldier  not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press.

It's the soldier  not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.

It's the soldier not  the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.

It's the soldier who  salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that  allows the  protester to burn the flag!!!

When you receive this, please stop for a   moment and say a prayer for our U.S.  ground troops in Afghanistan, and the  ones facing deployment to Iraq at this very moment - AND all over this  world.

 Of  all the gifts you could give a US  Soldier, Prayer is the
very best one...
