Well, I'm in the USAF as a F-15 engine mechanic. Never killed anyone, probably never will. I'm just like everyone else here, except I put on a uniform when I go to work. So the whole, we're brain washed killing machines is pretty much BS.

Hello Ron.. ..God Bless You


Thank you sooo much for stopping by...


and for also shedding more bright light


on that person's un enlightened comment


& if you notice, he hasn't been back here



to back up or defend his misinformed comment, at all

My heart & mind


always resonates this quote


when i think of those

who sit on the sidelines


and think they can actually


even begin to judge some one else


who is actually making a serious attempt


in accomplishing something noble & worthwhile


whether it is noble


or not in someone else's eyes


people say to me


" oh, don't make waves..."



and i tell them ...



Waves need to be made....

and

It is the person who is rowing the boat...


who is making the waves...







Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)






Dare Greatly




It is not the critic who counts;


nor the man

who points out how the strong man stumbled,

or where the doer of deeds could have done better.




The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;

who strives valiantly;


who errs and comes short again and again


because there is no effort without error and shortcomings;

who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions;

who spends himself in a worthy cause;


who at best knows in the end,


the triumph of high achievement;


and who at worst, if he fails,


at least fails while daring greatly;


so that his place shall never be


with those cold and timid souls


who know neither victory nor defeat.

Blackbird



Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night!
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

by < it's a beautiful day >



White Bird

White Bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow
Cross the long black road
To the darkened skies
In its rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Unknown.

White bird must fly
Or she will die

White bird
Dreams of the aspen tree
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old.

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die

The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds Float by
And The Earth Turns slow
And the Young Birds Eyes
Do always Glow
And She must fly
She must fly
She must fly

White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly

You know' I probably wouldn't complain about MRE's either. The new ones arw actually pretty tasty :P

There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
Girl with no eyes,
who can she be?
Girl with no eyes,
she's looking at me.

There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
If I make a sound she'll know that I'm stirring inside.
If I make a sound she'll know that I'm trying to hide.

Girl with no eyes,
who can she be?
Girl with no eyes,
she's looking at me.
Beautiful girl,
who does she see?
Beautiful girl,
she seems to be staring.

Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know,
love takes a lifetime.
And doesn't everbody know, everbody know,
love is the eye sight,
it's the eye sight of a lifetime.

She's just a reflection of all of the time that's gone by.
She's just a reflection of all of the time I've been high.

Girl with no eyes,
who can she be?
Girl with no eyes,
she's looking at me.
Beautiful girl,
who does she see?
Beautiful girl,
she seems to be staring.

Doesn't everybody know, everybody know,

love takes a lifetime.


And doesn't everybody know, everybody know,

love is the eye sight,


it's the high sign of a lifetime

Well, that is actually almost comforting to hear.


i am glad that the food is pretty tasty ...

it better be

with all the hard work

& sacrifice you all give



but 18 hour days for them is not comforting to hear...



Sweetheart Ron....


I am happy to know you are checking in....


light and love and blessings for you


& your Comrades and your Family

Well, as long you're waiting for him to come home it won't be so bad in the long run. You know what they say. Behind every strong man there is a strong woman :D

oooohhhh... that is very beautiful to hear


He is a career Military Man. Marines & Army


He still has a few years left before he retires...


thank you sooooo much for your encouragement


Love & hugs

Please continue supporting our troops. I served during a period when supporting our troops was not done. I came home from a war and got jeered at, booed and even spat upon at the airport.

It was difficult for us to understand because communications was not like it is today. Peace rallies and anti-war protests and political news from stateside did not get to us.

Even if it did, I believe that not one soldier would have walked away. We thought that we were doing the right thing and serving our country.

That was the Vietnam War and I don't know one Veteran from that war that wants to be a hero, Praised or Honered for serving. We just want support for the troops that are in the battlegrounds today.

Any man or women who volunteers to put their life on the line for my freedom is tops in my book.

You're most welcome. Don't forget to send some bubble gum and books when we're deployed :P

i hate how our brave men and wemon are used and thrown away by our govt.
i talked to a few military guys and no ones ever really happy with how they were treated after serving, nor do alot of them think what they are fighting for is right.

its like rambo said "all i want is what every other guy wants, for my country to love me as much as i love it"

but ya hats off to all you serving, i hope obama dosent go insane and make a hitler youtuh like civilian army.
