Praise You In This Storm - Casting Crowns

"When you speak from your heart and say the words your soul has only dared whisper that's when miracles happen"

One of my sons serves  in the military. He is still stateside, here in California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms,   but so that others may have them also.

  But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha!

He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the  U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly, 'Yes, I always wear it and probably always will.'

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

A gentleman standing behind my son stepped   forward.   Putting his arm around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:

'Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid. Everyone within hearing distance    cheered!

SOLDIER: Mowing Grass In Iraq---Priceless

Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt (US soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so he can have the sweet aroma and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and American soil, to bring them good luck!
If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.

Upon receiving this, say a little prayer for our soldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.

You don't have to send this on, but gee, who wouldn't?

This came from a Marine unit over in Iraq . Their wish is to send it to as many people in the country as possible.

PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOM!

PASS ON -Message from Iraq

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do
Something to pay tribute
To our fallen comrades So since we are part of the only
Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could
Think of doing that is By taking a picture of
Baker Company saying the way we feel.
It would be awesome if you could find a way to share
This with our fellow countrymen.
I  was wondering if there was any way to
Get this into your
Papers to let the world know that
'WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN'
And are proud to serve our country.
' Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe.'

The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq
They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know
That they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.

ROCK THE RIVER 2009

On a sunny autumn afternoon, more than 2,000 soldiers, families and community members gathered at Fort Leonard Wood to hear some great music and, most importantly, some Great News.

Rock the Fort, an event modeled after this summer’s Rock the River concerts, brought hip hop artist Canton Jones, youth communicator Matt Pitt, Christian rock band Disciple and evangelist RV Brown to the Missouri military base on October 4.

By the end of the afternoon, more than 200 people made decisions for Christ; 123 accepted Him as their Savior for the first time.

“Rock the Fort is a great example of viral ministry,” says Duane Gaylord, vice president of television, film and internet for the BGEA. “There were soldiers, some as young as 17- or 18-years old, who heard about Jesus for the first time and made a decision right there. Within weeks, they could be shipped off to Afghanistan. These soldiers will now be equipped to face very stressful situations in a potentially dangerous environment."

J. Walker Clarke, director of program for the BGEA, explains the “heart” behind the event: “Boot camp is one of the most physically, emotionally, and spiritually vulnerable times of a soldier’s life. We wanted to do something for them that not only would be fun, but would also share the Gospel. This is a way to serve the young men and women who have put themselves out there and serve our country.”

Special Supreme Court video update

Supreme Court Must Uphold Cross Display in Mojave Desert That HonorsWAR VETERANS


	THURSDAY, OCTOBER 08, 2009

The Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States have heard oral arguments in the Salazar v. Buono case, a lawsuit in which the display of a Mojave Desert cross to honor war veterans is being challenged.

The plaintiffs claim that the cross is offensive, and that because of that ''offense'' they're entitled to sue in court. The ACLJ fundamentally disagrees. To create a constitutional crisis out of an eight-foot cross honoring veterans is wrong.

Take just two minutes to view my special video update from the Supreme Court steps!

The ACLJ filed a critical brief with the Court, representing 15 Members of Congress and tens of thousands of our members from across the country.

There is no question - religious symbols are constitutional. In fact, the Supreme Court Justices ruled unanimously earlier this year in a similar case regarding display of the Ten Commandments.

Thanks for staying informed and involved. Visit us online at www.aclj.org and be sure to tune in to Jay Sekulow Live! for further updates on this and other key issues and cases.

Obama Administration Cuts $8 Billion From Our Troops

Dear Military Families United Member and Supporter,

As you may know, yesterday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates unveiled the budget proposal for our military. While the plan has some positive attributes, such as a commitment to expanding our forces and money for military families and veterans, there are also significant cuts for critical weapons systems. Those programs currently on the chopping block include:

$1.4 billion cut in missile defense spending
Reducing aircraft carriers from 11 to 10 and slowing production of other surface combatants
Delaying amphibious ship programs
Halting the planned increase of ground-based interceptors in Alaska
Cancelling a second airborne laser (antimissile) aircraft
Terminating the ground-vehicle element of the Army’s Future Combat Systems
Ending development of a new Air Force search and rescue helicopter
Canceling the development of the next generation strategic bomber
Ending the C-17 transport aircraft
Stopping production of the F-22 at 187 fighters

We at Military Families United have found several key problems with these defense cuts. America’s military is commonly blamed for fighting the last war, but this budget cuts back the future capabilities of the Armed Forces. The capabilities added by the Army’s Future Combat System program and the Navy’s amphibious ships would help the United States in all types of conflicts, all around the world. Cutting the fat in the defense budget is good, but Military Families United hopes that Congress will not cut the bone.

That thinking was what led to our troops having to buy their own armor to go into combat in Afghanistan and a lack of appropriate equipment to fighting the war in Iraq. While we must focus on the wars at hand, some of the cuts will affect what America’s servicemen and servicewomen can do in the future.

This budget will allow American capabilities to stagnate and our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardsmen to continue to use old and out of date equipment like the 1950’s era KC-135 aerial refueling tanker and B-52 bomber. We are especially concerned about the $1.4 billion cut in missile defense spending, which equals 15 percent of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s budget. This drastic cut comes only one day after North Korea conducted what it called a “satellite test,” but what every other country called a test of their long range ballistic missile capabilities. North Korea already has nuclear weapons and they continue to be aggressive and antagonistic towards the community of nations (which includes the United States). The continuation of North Korean missile testing is very dangerous and by cutting the Missile Defense Agency’s funding America is left potentially unprepared for a missile attack.

Sec. Gates’ defense budget must now go to Congress before it can take effect. We need to take action now to protect our homeland and provide the funding that our troops need and deserve. We have produced a web ad about this topic and need your support.

Bipartisan Reaction

Lt. Gen. Edward Baca, who served as chief of the National Guard Bureau under former President Clinton said the missile defense cut “will leave us vulnerable to missile attacks from countries like North Korea in the near future.”

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn), Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) Sens. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and James Inhofe (R-Okla.) sent a letter to the president and voiced their concern about the missile defense cut saying, “Moreover, sharp cuts would leave us and our friends around the world less capable of responding to the growing ballistic missile threat.”

And I can't wait to get back home
But until then I'll serve my country
And be proud to wear this uniform

PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS FAMILY'S

Daddy's Poem
Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied

with a bow Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she

couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably

should stay home. Why the kids might not understand,

if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say.

What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried, for her to face this day

alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep

her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all.

About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.

There were dads along the wall in back, for everyone

to meet. Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their

seats. One by one the teacher called a student from the

class to introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name, every child turned

to stare. Each of them was searching for a man who

wasn't there.

'Where's her daddy at?' she heard a boy call out.

'She probably doesn't have one,' another student dared

to shout.

And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy

say, 'Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste

his day.'

The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her

Mom, and looked back at her teacher, who told her to

go on. And with her hands behind her back, slowly she

began to speak. And out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far

away. But I know he wishes he could be, since this is

such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to

know all about my daddy, and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my

bike. He surprised me with pink roses, and taught me

to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a

cone. And though you cannot see him, I'm not standing

here alone.

'Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we

are apart I know because he told me, he'll forever be in

my heart.' With that, her little hand reached up, and lay

across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath

her favorite dress.

And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads, her

mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her daughter,

who was wise beyond her years. For she stood up for

the love of a man not in her life Doing what was best

for her, doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down, staring

straight into the crowd, she finished with a voice so soft,

but its message clear and loud.

'I love my daddy very much, he's my shining star.

And if he could, he'd be here, but heaven's just too far.

You see he was a Marine and died just this past year,

when a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught

Americans to fear. But sometimes when I close my

eyes, it's like he never went away.' And then

she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement, she witnessed

with surprise, a room full of daddies and children,

all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them, who

knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy,' to the silence

she called out. And what happened next made

believers, of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it, for each

of their eyes had been closed. But there on the desk

beside her, was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the

love of her shining star. And given the gift of believing,

that heaven is never too far.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then

an entire life to forget them.

PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS, THEY FIGHT AND DIE FOR YOU!

OUR MILITARY WOMEN ARE BRAVE

Female B-2 pilot makes history by Airman 1st Class Alice K. Moore 40th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM (AFPN) -- Military women are continuing to knock down barriers and make history.

Capt. Jennifer Wilson, a B-2 Spirit pilot deployed with the 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, landed on the runway April 1 at her forward-deployed location, making her the first female B-2 pilot to fly a combat mission.

"Flying is great," Wilson said. "I can't imagine doing anything else right now, and to be able to have a chance to fly in combat with the B-2 was an awesome experience."

Formerly a B-1 Lancer pilot, Operation Iraqi Freedom was not the first time she flew a combat mission, Wilson said. She also flew for Operation Allied Force in Kosovo, the first time the B-1s were involved in combat.

The 30-year-old Miami native received her commission through the ROTC program at Georgia Technical Institute in June 1995. She attended undergraduate pilot training at Columbus Air Force Base, Miss.
