This handsome young man is Joshua Johnston, and he is related to us, by marriage I am proud to say. He is grandson of our cousin Gloria Jean Wintters-Johnston. He leaves his pretty wife Jessica and his two precious little girls at home praying for his safety, so keep him, and them, in your prayers daily as he serves our country..

This is a picture of a Vet, and I was told he was listening to more lies about helping our Vets and troops..he could have been listening to our liberals running for Commander in Chief...if so, these would sure be handy.. If you need a set of these, email me and I will send you a free download.so you can make your own. awintters@yahoo.com

I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy 25 in rural Iowa . For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. There are many angles to this rock, not shown here... . I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

This photo comes from Brenda, for Corporal Chad Stauffer, USMC stationed in Iraq. ... God Bless them all! , Thanks a bunch. Love Brenda.................
You are welcome Brenda, we love and pray for each one daily!! Tell him that he is in our prayers!

This is PVT Shay Valdez, Fort Jackson, SC . This just goes to show our Troops are not only brave, but pretty as well.. we're Praying for you Shay!

This is Jonathan Green, K CTT3 (VICKSBURG.. we're Praying for you Jon!

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..

We have NOT forgotten either Baker Company, and you are in our prayers!

This is Major E.T. Radabaugh-- Join me in Praying for each one pictured or mentioned

The image is from our troops in foreign battle fields. The fellow in the center is a Master Mason, member of Cypress 1423. I asked him for the names and home towns of the companions in the photo. The list he returned is below. Note, he didn't use home towns and last names. This may be for securtiy reasons. Our guy is Brother Steven Kira, a graduate of Sam Houston State University. (Pray for these brave troops) Tell everyone at louge that I said hello. Names in the pictures are Jim (Las Vagas), Ray (Georiga), Me, Wade (the main Island), and Monica (California). Other than that all is well here, just getting ready to leave. Got to run.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Terrorists,
I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and raised in a small town in New England. I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father.

My dad worked a series of jobs in finance and my mom took care of us kids. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal Church. I have a brother and sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was the first in many generations to attend college.

I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because, although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable.

I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do it.

My government has spent millions to train me to fly these multi-million dollar aircrafts. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.

I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and! like teachers, they just don't get paid enough.

I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation.

I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a U.S. issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US warplane. I wish we could meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you, but unfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground, so we will have to do this a different way.

I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000 lb weapon through a window from 10,000 feet up. I generally only fly at night, so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like you.

I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.

My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!

I am coming! I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon...sleep tight.
Signed
A U.S. Navy Pilot

Our Soldiers are one of our greatest assets! God Bless

troops indian in funeral

This photo was sent in honor of a fallen Indian Marine...if anyone has his name or more info, please send it to me.* Note: I just received a note that said the Indian was Louis Kills Straight, and he holds a staff adorned with buffalo hair and eagle feathers, along with photos of tribal members who are serving in Iraq. I was told this was during a funeral for a Marine named Lundstrom who was killed Jan in Fallgh. They were not sure of the spelling., so if anyone knows the correction, please let us know.

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN
