SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS ?

A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the new World War
II Memorial in Washington, DC!
I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of "the greatest war," with their families. It was a beautiful day,
and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:

Yesterday, December 7,
1941-- a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. "Wait a minute," she said, "they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended
the message with "so help us God.'"

Her husband said, "You are probablyright. We're not supposed to say
things like that now."

"I know I'm right," she insisted. "I remember the speech." The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself,Well, it has been over 50 years she's probably
forgotten."
But she had not forgotten. She was right.

I went home and
pulled out the book my book club is reading --- "Flags of
Our Fathers" by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima.
I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.
But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt's speech to the nation ends
in "so help us God."

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war.! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt's words are engraved on their hearts.
Now I ask: "WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF
HISTORY?????????"

Send this around to your friends People need to know before everyone forgets. People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be...and He always will be!

If you agree, pass this on. If notMay God Bless YOU

"More than 100 young women who expressed interest in joining the military in the past year were preyed upon sexually by their recruiters. Women were raped on recruiting office couches, assaulted in government cars and groped en route to entrance exams."

A friend of mine recently got new orders and went to a new duty station from Germany. That's all I know. Haven't heard from him since. Does anyone know how I might find him? Also, do soldiers ever have a phone number they can give out to family/friends? Any advice would be most appreciated!

I mean, wouldn't the hijackers simply crash the plane and still achieve their objectives? What if the hijackers have a trained pilot who refuses to obey any intercepting planes' instructions and fly out to anywhere they like?

What exactly is the theory behind it anyway?

they want us to surrender to terrorism. i don't understand how someone can honestly say that they want us to sink below the level of a terrorist. that would be the most cowardly thing our country could do and there is no reason for it. we continue to use our intelligence to stop attacks and keep our country safe. the least the citizens of our country could do is support the president of our country who is keeping the world safe from terror

We presently have two large veterans organizations. 1. The American Legion and 2. The Veterans of Foreign Wars. We do have a smaller one 3. Vietnam Veterans of American. I know the different "focus" of the organization but therer should be only one focus 'VETERANS'. It would seem that one organization would be stronger and more powerfull in fighting for the rights of all veterans or is it that the real reason we dont have one is because of internal power plays like it happens in large corporations as to who is going to be "on top" of the ship. Its a duplicate effort and we should only have one voice for veterans.
