comMITTed to Romney!

Here’s wishing all of our service personnel a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for your selfless service to your country. Thanks also to your families who support your service by their prayers and unheralded sacrifices. Godspeed to all of you and may you return home safe and sound!

~~John Cronin~~

“Duty, Honor, Country” — those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur

I’m getting to this late, but I’d appreciate that the bloggers here not post anymore today…We did a one day blog silence for the students of VA Tech, and I’d like to do the same for those that died on the last Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.

Answer in the comments section…

Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ on that September day
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin’ on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin’ against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones
Or pray for the ones who don’t know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out with pride for the red, white and blue
For the heroes who died just doin’ what they do
Did you look up to Heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters
I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ on that September day
Teachin’ a class full of innocent children
Or drivin’ down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you’re a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hoped it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak to some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin’
And turn on “I Love Lucy” reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Or stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love
I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
I’m just a singer of simple songs
I’m not a real political man
I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
The greatest is love
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ on that September day
