A young girl's beautiful rendition of "Taps" according to some although it actually may be Il Silenzio.  Whatever song it is - it's beautiful.

My heart and prays goes out to every family member and friends of those lost in a senseless act of hate 15 years ago today.

 

Veterans Day - honoring those who served to protect our freedom

 
 Words alone cannot express the thanks my family and I have for your service and sacrifice.

The history of Veterans Day

Today is Constitution Day

 

On this day in 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 men who put much forethought into each careful word chosen that safeguards the freedoms we enjoy today. 

God Bless America!

10 Fast Facts on the Constitution

1. The U.S. Constitution was written in the same Pennsylvania State House where the Declaration of Independence was signed and where George Washington received his commission as Commander of the Continental Army. Now called Independence Hall, the building still stands today on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, directly across from the National Constitution Center.
2. Written in 1787, the Constitution was signed on September 17th. But it wasn't until 1788 that it was ratified by the necessary nine states.
3. The U.S. Constitution was prepared in secret, behind locked doors that were guarded by sentries.
4. Some of the original framers and many delegates in the state ratifying conventions were very troubled that the original Constitution lacked a description of individual rights. In 1791, Americans added a list of rights to the Constitution. The first ten amendments became known as The Bill of Rights
5. Of the 55 delegates attending the Constitutional Convention, 39 signed and 3 delegates dissented. Two of America's "founding fathers" didn't sign the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson was representing his country in France and John Adams was doing the same in Great Britain.
6. Established on November 26, 1789, the first national "Thanksgiving Day" was originally created by George Washington as a way of "giving thanks" for the Constitution.
7. Of the written national constitutions, the U.S. Constitution is the oldest and shortest.
8. At 81, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania was the oldest delegate at the Constitutional Convention and at 26, Jonathon Dayton of New Jersey was the youngest.
9. The original Constitution is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, it was moved to Fort Knox for safekeeping.
10. More than 11,000 amendments have been introduced in Congress. Thirty three have gone to the states to be ratified and twenty seven have received the necessary approval from the states to actually become amendments to the Constitution.   Source:  National Constitution Center

9/11: We remember

Eight years ago today the worst terrorist attack broke our hearts but never our country, our resolve or our spirit. 

Before 9/11/01,  I, an Oklahoman,  had a thought on more than one occasion there would be another tragedy someday that would make the bombing in Oklahoma City, which ripped away our sense of security, seem small. Historically, the worst hurricane, the worst tornado on record are eventually out-done by a newer stronger more devastating one - so it was only logically.   But 9/11 happened way too soon after the tragedy in Oklahoma City on April 19, 2005.  Way too soon.

There will be another tragedy someday that will out do 9/11 if we are not vigilant and fail to understand and underestimate the nature, persistence and deviousness of our enemy.

After 9/11,  President Bush declared this day to be Patriot Day starting in 2002 and every 9/11 going forward.  It is a good day to fly your flag or wear a pin of remembrance.  We must never forget.

Below is a picture collage of the victims of 9/11.  May God have mercy on their souls and protect and provide comfort to their families:

Memorial Day

A time for thanks and remembrance

 

I am thankful For knowing I have a place as I awake to a new day

For the right to speak my mind or kneel quietly and pray...

 

For the dreams that I strive to reach. For the love I am free to give

For the laughter shared with dearest friend - the necessity to live...

 

For the security and peace of mind knowing all is safe and sound

For growing, sharing, hoping and caring. For goodness that is all around...

 

For all of this we are grateful , whispered soundly or loudly sing

Their duty, their sacrifice have let our freedom ring...

 

This came in a e-card I received.  Its beautiful and I wish I could give credit to who wrote it.  I want to share these thoughts with z-readers on this special weekend. 

Have a great and blessed Memorial Day!

Oklahoma City bombing 14 years later

AT 9:02 in the morning,  14 years ago on this date the worst domestic terrorist act, at the time, occurred by the actions of a few twisted, hateful souls carried out at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 

Today, in a solemn ceremony, those who lost their lives were remembered.

God rest the souls of the 168 men, women and children who lost their lives.

  

Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial: Weeping Jesus

Oklahoman named "Trooper of the Year" for stopping a man with a gun praying to Allah to complete his mission!

Thank you Trooper Sheldon Robinson!

Highway Patrol Trooper Sheldon Robinson was honored as Trooper of the Year Thursday for stopping a man intent on killing people in a Burger King in South Tulsa on September 5, 2008.

"..."I just snuck up behind him from his blind spot and grabbed the gun, and the fight was on."

Eventually Jerome Denson was subdued and arrested. And if it weren't for Trooper Robinson a lot of people could have been killed. Denson was very determined.

"He was praying to Allah for help in carrying out his mission."

For his efforts, Robinson was named "Trooper of the Year".

Today is National Medal of Honor Day!

Unfortunately too many of us do not know this day exists. 

Consider adding this date to your cell phone calendar reminder for next year (it always on the 25th of March).  Then tell everyone you know!

From  Home of Heros there are some suggestions for this day:

"National Medal of Honor day is celebrated in some communities, however for the most part the occasion comes and goes with little notice.  As a patriotic American there are a few things YOU can do to commemorate this day:

FLY YOUR FLAG with pride and patriotism on this day.

REMEMBER OUR HEROES.  As a gesture of your appreciation, why not take just a few moments in the week prior to National Medal of Honor Day to mail a "Thank You" card to one of our living Medal of Honor recipients.  You can find a list of the living as well as information on writing to them among the pages of this site.

INFORM YOUR LOCAL MEDIA.  Most newspapers aren't even aware that this special day exists.  Why not tip your local media to the occasion.  Before you do, check out our database for Medal of Honor recipients from your city and state as well as any who might be buried in your city.   This information can give your media a "local angle" that can increase the probability that they will consider doing a story to remind Americans of our heroes.

Consider doing something in your local schools, or even on a civic level, if there is a Medal of Honor recipient living near your location.  Visit our site on SCHOOL IDEAS for more information on school assemblies.

If there is a Medal of Honor recipient buried in your home town, get a school class, scout troop, or other youth organization to "adopt a grave site".  You can read in our SCHOOL IDEAS pages how one school in Pueblo has used just such a program as a part of their Social Studies program."

My heart felt thanks goes out to the all military heroes in Oklahoma and our nation!  Many sacrificed their lives so we may live in freedom.

God Bless you all.
