Happy Fourth Of July- God Bless Our Veterans-A Prayer Request

It is a day for celebration

for most of us.

We wave our flags and grill

our burgers and wolf down our hot dogs.

We stand in line for dripping

ice cream cones

and we stare at the sky

in awe as fireworks 

feed us a feast for our eyes.

We are free.

What a blessing to be free.

But that freedom comes at a cost.

A big cost.

You know, blogland is full of women,

but there are a few men out there 

that join our ranks.

One of those men makes an appearance

once in a while and leaves me a comment.

He is quite a character-and y'all know

how much I like "characters".

His name is Kurt and he is known as

The Krippled Warrior.

He is a sailor

Once a Navy man-always a Navy man.
22 years in service to our country.

He is ill....very ill.

He has stared death in the face and

beat it back more than once.

But-not without cost of limbs and

chemo and surgeries.

Today is a day to honor him and

all our service people.

Could you please find it in your heart

to go to his blog and wish him a

Happy Fourth of July.

You won't find PRETTY there

because there is nothing pretty about

what he is going through.

Say a little prayer for him to beat 

this latest medical mystery.

He deserves it.

He has earned it.

He is a warrior.

The Krippled Warrior

Thank you so much.

(his comments are right after the date-

on the bottom and only show up 

when you click on them)

I salute you, Kurt, for all you have

done for your country and for

my families freedom.

Bless you!

Here is my Sweet Cheeks two years ago...

on July 4th....

Taken at dusk with the sunset 

casting a rosy glow on her face-

watching the first of the fireworks set off

from our little dock on the beach.

I love this picture.

Happy Fourth Of July 

from my family to yours-
Off to enjoy my family for the day-
Love to all of you- Nana Diana
