Duane,
I wish to thank you for your eloquence!
You said what I was TRYING to say, but being an old warrior - graduate
of the Rifle, Grenade, and Bayonet School, NOT the knife fork and spoon
school, do not do well!
One Nation Under God, with Liberty and Justice for ALL!

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your contributions sir. You helped to keep our country
free. Were it not for all the Veterans, and the myriad of supporting
roles played by countless citizens who aided our troops, there would
be no America. We fought to gain freedom at the outset, have fought to
keep our freedom ever since and will continue to be ever viligent,
perhaps nowadays more so then ever before, and fight on to make
America truly "the land of the free and the home of the brave".
I hope that the day 'never' comes when those who advocate the removal
of "In God We Trust" from our coins get their way! We fought not only
for freedom from the King of England, but among other things, the
right to worship our God in our own way. If your way is to not worship
any God, so be it. If your way is to worship as a Protestant,
Catholic, a Jewish person or whatever, that is your right. America was
built on a foundation of many freedoms, but the underlying current of
strength was religious. When will America end? The day those coins
read "In God We Once Trusted!
And just for a historical note to ponder on Thanksgiving Day as you
plunder -
Benjamin Franklin did 'not' seriously propose that the Turkey be the
national bird instead of an Eagle. The truth is, Franklin hated the
Eagle! The Turkey was his tongue in cheek way of saying so!

Paid for in sweat and blood by the 200+ years of U. S. Military.

You are welcome!
On the eve of Thanksgiving, I would like to express my thanks to
GOD for giving me the ability to talk to fellow hams around the
world on ham radio. Without the ionosphere that HE created, all
of this would be impossible.
Finally, I want to give thanks to the ARRL and the FCC for 52 years
of being on the air, beginning with WN3BJZ at the age of 15.
