Just a quick note.

Today is Flag Day, June 14.

Please remember to honor the Flag. I know a few who will be reading this are NOT US citizens, so please bear with me (or bare with me if you are like my good buddy Yann Vernier and his VOX blog, Waiting for the Naked Lady).

For those who are serving abroad to preserve the upholding of liberty, true freedom has responsibility, I thank you for the gift of your sacrifice both in what you are doing and seeing. God bless you. Please know we are praying for you and praying for the safe return of all of you to your homes and loved ones.

God bless and God speed,

To celebrate Flag Day, I watched Braveheart for the hundredth time (Freedom is universal). Too bad the movie always ends the same way.

Rob, have you ever heard of “Little Bear” Wheeler? He has an amazing CD on more of the true story vs fab but Hollywoodized version of Braveheart? I will see if I can easily locate my copy and bring it with me next weekend.

See you in Vegas Baby, man. (man is for you, "Vegas Baby" is my name with which to refer to Vegas itself.)

All the best,

Thanks for the reminder about Flag Day. It makes me think of my grandpa a WWII vet. He always made a big deal of flag day. And he is a man I respect more than most. He was a great man who made a difference in peoples lives in small ways. God Bless our nation and all those who have paid and are paying the price for us to realize our freedom.

Thank for the links April. I can't believe you managed to talk about naked ladies in a post about Flag Day. Vey audacious, Audacious April!

All the best,

I feel like an idiot - what does "God Speed" mean?
