My family's soldier will be home for Christmas. I have a daughter shipping out to Navy basic in February. My grandfather was in the Navy and my great uncle served in the Army during the D day campaign. The Armed Forces are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Faerydreamer, thank them for all of us. And God Bless them. I'm an old Air Force vet, all of the rest of the family was Army.

Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is intense effort applied toward a meaningful end. Dr. Thomas Dooley
Yes, Please remember our Troops this time of Christmas. We just had a National Guard unit from my town just came home from Iraq. . All of the members of the Armed forces need our thoughts and Prayers, regardless of your thoughts of the war.
We will let you know when this CD contest begins in this thread - so keep watching! We expect the CD to be given away in the evening hours of Friday Night. However, we are expecting a major Winter Storm in the Boston area Friday, so if we are not able to run the contest it will be run the very next day!
Well you're in for a whopper! and I don't mean a burger. It started snowing here In Lindsay Ontario this morning and it hasn't stopped yet. Last measure 6 1/2 inches of the white stuff. I will be plowing all night!

The Scots of course insist that the pipes produce music. But the point is after all not too important. For those who love them, the pipes can evoke more vividly than any other instrument, high emotion, they can inspire valor, and tell of tragic tales of battles long ago. They can call forth merriment or sentiment. It does not matter what the sound is called, those who are deaf to its merits would not understand anyway.
I've heard of this snow stuff. I think it is that white stuff you go to visit in the mountains and then come home. It is also that fake white stuff they make and charge people to play in.
Being in San Diego, we very rarely get it here, but it has happened before. Back in the mid 60s it snowed all the way to the ocean!!
