ANY QUESTIONS AS TO WHY THE MILITARY DOES THE THINGS WE DO?
ANY QUESTIONS AS TO HOW WE FEEL WHEN SOMEONE ATTACKS OUR HOMELAND, FAMILIES, FREEDOMS AND WAY OF LIFE?

Check out this video: Why we are here

CREATED BY: KARL J. MINAMYER, U.S. NAVY

I don't know who wrote it but they should have signed it....... Some powerful words.

Written by a housewife from New Jersey. This is one ticked off lady and I commend her.

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?..Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND......I hope you forward all this.

'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's former Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.'

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN
Ray
Ray Thompson

 
I know why we're there, Kim, and I thank God for our brave soldiers: men and women who have kept our homeland free.

People call them heroes, I do too, but I call them so much more.....

They are the very elect of God - angels if you will - here to protect us from our enemy, and I proudly salute and stand in honor and respect of every single one of them.

Thanks for sharing this.

RAY

Sometimes....it takes not so gentle reminders to get people refocused on the reason our troops are fighting. In the face of adversity....we will triumph...one nation under God.

Operation Home

 
WWIII really began on Nov 4th, 1979. But no one seemed to notice or care. It wasn't until September 11th, 2001 that the majority of Americans woke up. But I fear that sadly, 6 years is too long a time for the collective memory of a nation, and too many are starting to roll over and go back to sleep. This video should be required viewing by everyone, IMHO.

Thanks for sharing, Kim. Great video, great message, great pics, and great song.

THANK YOU OPERATION HOME. I THINK 9-11 SHOULD BE THE WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF AMERICANS. YES ALL SHOULD SEE THIS AND WAKE UP AND QUIT ASKING WHY.
PUT THE PROTEST SIGNS DOWN AND JUST THINK ABOUT THE SOLDIERS OVER THERE FIGHTING AND NEEDING SUPPORT.

Thank you so much for inviting me to your blog Kim. I have to be honest, I did tear up seeing this, and at the same time feeling so much pride for our brave men and women who fight for our freedom. They represent our best of the best and do a magnificent job. We should,, we MUST give them our support and thanks. They ARE more than heroes.

It is a pity that I can only give you two kudos.

WE DONT GO TO WAR TO LOSE AND IF I A MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO IS GOING FOR HIS SECOND TOUR IN IRAQ CAN SUPPORT THIS THEN THEY VERY WELL CAN TOO!!! THANX KIM FOR YOUR BLOG!

THANK YOU GAYLEN FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE TROOPS.
I HAD TO TELL A LITTLE 18 YR. OLD PUNK OFF THE OTHER DAY OVER HIS SPOUTING OFF ABOUT THE TROOPS AND WHY WE ARE AT WAR. HE HAD ME SO MAD, IF HE HAD OPENED HIS MOUTH ANY MORE HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROWN OUT OF MY HOUSE BODILY.
WHEN YOU ARE A MOTHER OF THOSE THAT ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM, THE LAST THING WE NEED IS AN UNGRATEFUL S.O.B. SPOUTING OFF.
YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF....TELL YOUR SON "GOOD JOB"!

just had to state that there is no way in hell people can support the troops without supporting the mission. They have no clue what the mission means to these men and women serving, if they did then they would know what a great disservice it does to those who serve!!!!

I am sick of hearing people make that claim, as a wife of a Marine Corps Vet, mom to a Marine Corps Vet, daughter to Navy Vet's, granddaughter to Navy Vets, Niece to Navy Vets and best friend to a Army Vet, i know what it means to support the troops, thats why i do my job,to make sure the equipment our troops use daily is the safest it can be!!!!

Other wise we are all lost.

Just thought i would share my feelings on it.

Hope you have an awesome day!

Thank you for sharing this video, my husband worked very hard on it. It means alot to hear all of the feedback that it has gotten. Karl didn't post it on here it was something he did for work, his brother Fred did. He didn't expect it to really impact anyone other then the military personel that is was made for, until tonight. We were just messing around doing a google search for our names and this came up. Thank you so much.
