Look at the black patch under the U.S. flag.
The patch says "Doing the work of" The flags are France,Germany,and Russia.
This SHOULD be on the front cover of Time, Newsweek, etc.
Let's you and I "put it there" by forwarding this all around the world!
Repeats or not...I'm not breaking this one...

God and the Spider
God and the Spider
203
Image
During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and
The crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.
Image
Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his
Direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen."
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw
Close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one." Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.
Image
As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.
"Hah, he thought. "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humor."
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddenly, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.
Image
"Lord, forgive me," prayed the young man. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall."
We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to
Forget what God can work in our lives, sometimes in the most
Surprising ways. And remember with God, a mere spider's web becomes a brick wall of protection.

Defeat in our lives doesn't mean we are defeated. It's merely God's way of pointing us to ultimate victory

KEEP THIS GOING PLEASE
I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

This is a good counter balance story to the Jane Fonda "Vietnam" Woman Of The Year story I have received many times in my e-mail.
Ann Margaret
Image
Viet Nam 1966
Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in
Viet Nam other than he had been shot by a sniper.
However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margaret with Bob Hope
in the background that was one of his treasures.
A few years ago, Ann Margaret was doing a book signing
at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her
to sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore
at 12 o'clock for the 7:30 signing.
When I got there after work, the line went all the way around
the bookstore, circled the parking lot and disappeared behind
a parking garage. Before her appearance, bookstore employees
announced that she would sign only her book and no
memorabilia would be permitted.
Image
Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo
and let her know how much those shows meant to lonely GI's
so far from home. Ann Margaret came out looking as beautiful
as ever and, as second in line, it was soon Richard's turn.
He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo.
When he did, there were many shouts from the employees
that she would not sign it. Richard said, "I understand.
I just wanted her to see it."
She took one look at the photo, tears welled up in her
eyes and she said, "This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam
and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did
for their country and I always have time for 'my gentlemen.'"
Image
With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a
big kiss on him. She then made quite a to-do about the bravery
of the young men she met over the years, how much she
admired them, and how much she appreciated them There
weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear.
She then posed for pictures and acted as if he were the only one there.
Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd
like to talk about it, my big strong husband broke down in tears.
"That's the first time anyone ever thanked me for
my time in the Army," he said.
That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little
straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have
been a Vet. I'll never forget Ann Margaret for her graciousness
and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband.
I now make it a point to say "Thank you" to every person
I come across who served in our Armed Forces.
Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for
all those who have served their country.
If you'd like to pass on this story, feel free to do so.
Perhaps it will help others to become aware of how important it is
to acknowledge the contribution our service people make.
