People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Click on this link to view a moving reminder about why we must never forget - that freedom isn't free!

I particularly like one of the quotes from an earlier presentation of the same genre, which is:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
--Thomas Jefferson 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

Let the tree be refreshed primarily with the blood of the bad guys and applied as often as necessary, but let us not forget that some must be shed from our sons and daughters, that we in America may continue to be a beacon of freedom to all the world, shining liberty's light upon all who seek. And don't even think about quoting the Bible to me that 'Thou shalt not kill' - because that is a poor translation which was never the message God intended when He inspired those words to be written. In today's vernacular that commandment should read "Thou shalt not murder' - which is a much more accurate translation of the original words which meant to 'kill unlawfully'. We have in the past, and we can and must now, lawfully kill our enemies. Our enemies are those who would kill us unlawfully, for they are inherently immoral and lawless individuals!

Except for ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism - war has never solved anything!


God bless America and God bless our troops!
