I didn’t start tearing up until halfway through. By the time it was finished I was so choked up I could barely see to read the last few verses.

Folks, find a way to send something, a small token of our gratitude, to a soldier, marine, sailor, or a military family this season. For Heaven’s sake let them know we haven’t forgotten them. Let them know that some of us are standing guard over their rights here at home as they place their bodies between us and an enemy thousands of miles away.

Just send a card or letter to them or their families if that’s all you can do. If you can do more, locate a group that supports military families and find out what you can give to help them. And get active in the political world and fight for their benefits to be increased, not decreased.

Do you know that the average new army recruit makes less than $20,000.00 a year? They don’t do it for the money. They do it for freedom, for America…for YOU.

Let’s appreciate it.

My brother Mike sent this today…and it’s nearly the perfect joke since it includes subjects like the left wing media, motorcycling, military service, and the biker attitude of “taking care of business”. The only thing missing is something about the second amendment! So, without further adieu (or credit to the unknown author):

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’

The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.’

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page… So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’

The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.’ The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH”
