Their parents served our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice that we might be Free to have choices. Choices like which school our children should and can go to. What about them? What about the children that are now in a single parent home due to the terror of war since 9/11? Freedom is never free....it comes with a severely high price.
This is not about any political party discussion. This is simply coming together and taking care of those that have sacrificed so much for you and I. This is not a political discussion about whether we should have armed forces in the Middle East or not. This is not about the cost of oil. Again, this is about children, around 11,000 children that are now in a single parent family home. Sure, there is help by our government. Unfortunately, it is not enough to help see that these children have the opportunity to a higher education should they want that freedom to do so.
These children were not asked by their parents if it was okay by them to go and serve their country. They were not made aware of the pain that they feel. Their everyday routine has now been altered. Family gatherings for Holidays forever changed. So you see, it is not political at all, it's Family.
I personally cannot imagine the pain that these children feel from loosing a parent. What I can imagine, is the financial hardships. Hardships that were brought on by someone that loved their Country so much that they were willing to die for it. We cannot take the heartache away but we can honor their parents by contributing to their children's future.
American Legion Riders put together a Motorcycle Run to raise money for the Legacy Scholarship. I am truly honored and blessed to be able to participate. The Run is 1225 miles stretched over 5 days. Leaving Indianapolis to Minneapolis from August 21 - 25. It is understandable that a majority of you reading this will not be able to join us on the run. We all have different obligations jobs/family/school. These obligations are free choices that we have because of those that have sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom. Donations to the scholarship can be made at the following link... http://www.legacyrun2011.charityhappening.org/ Would be an absolute honor to take you with us as a Virtual Rider.

This is not the responsibility of a Tax Payer....this is the responsibility of a Citizen of United States.
In honor of the brave men and women that have given their lives....Thank you.
Blessed Be, Always!

Duarte Nursery in Hughson California has me absolutely Intrigued!!
Did you know that there is 30 different varieties of Poinsettias? I simply had no idea. Every year during the holidays I have driven by Duarte greenhouses but never stopped. I did not know until recently that it was open to the public. You have to understand that the greenhouses don't look like the standard neighborhood nursery greenhouses. While driving along side them it is a flood of Christmas colors so incredibly vibrant. Can you imagine 60,000 Poinsettias? For those who are not familiar with the area the nursery is located near Modesto in the Central Valley of California. Duarte Nursery, Inc. is the largest permanent crops nursery in the United States.
Now that I know this well kept little secret it only seem fitting to share.
On November 20th, 2010 Duarte Nursery will open their doors at 8 a.m. I intend to be there to pick very own Poinsettias out of the Sea. Hope to see you there.
November 20, 2010 - December 25, 2010

"At the height of laughter, the Universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibillites." Jean Houston

"Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living."
— Sean O'Casey
"Laughter is a holy thing. It is as sacred as music and silence and solemnity, maybe more sacred. Laughter is like a prayer, like a bridge over which creatures tiptoe to meet each other. Laughter is like mercy; it heals. When you can laugh at yourself, you are free." ,,,Ted Loder
