Nobody Gets Email: To Honor and To Guard
Nobody Gets Email
This was something I bet not many people outside of Santa Barbara know about. I know I didn’t. It makes you really appreciate the men and women who serve the country, past, and present. It also reminds you that there are really just evil people out there trying to control free people from expressing their thanks to those soldeirs who died in battle. God bless these vets.
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

Santa Barbara:
The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier.
There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends. They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend.
Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it.
Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.
Very moving, very powerful—so many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.
Amazing!
Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed? And that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They’re making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus’ name in prayer thanks to the ACLU and our new administration.
Prayer:
‘Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need. These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.’

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Thank you for putting this up. It is good to see that some still honor the sacrifice made by others for their freedoms.
I also find it very sad that while many have fallen to provide freedom are being dishonored by having their religion stripped from them.
Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion. Soldires,sailors and airmen deserve to worship freely be they Christian,Muslim or whatever their faith is.
