As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.' Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and w itnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen. Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone)was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and suppo rts our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.' The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek. The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marin e and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.' The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the yo ung soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek. We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American. RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record b reaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers. Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday. IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON. IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON --- IT IS YOUR CHOICE. From now on I'll be wearing red on fridays, I hope you will to. To any  men or women out their who are in the armed foces who might read this I want you to know that  I support you all the way, and I can't wait to join your ranks later this year. Take care and God bless.   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/485813/ Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:10:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/485813/ I found this picture on like and I thought it was so funny that I would just have to post it. enjoy.   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/481319/ Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:01:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/481319/ Rules: 1- Link to the person who tagged you 2- Post the rules on your blog 3- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself 4- Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs 5- Let each random person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.   Here are my six things: 1- I can't stand having long hair 2- I write with my right hand but eat with my left 3- I used to be the props director for a drama class 4- I love guns 5- I like to make things 6- I don't like most jazz music  Name: Alex Age: 18 Hair Color: Dark brown Eye color: Hazel Green Glasses? no -------------------------------------------- What do u wanna be when u grow up? 11 Alfa (infantry officer) Favorite shoes: combat boots Do u like shopping?

There were two things that killed the movie. One thing was that they filmed the whole movie with a home video camera, the other was that the ending was terrable.  Everybody died in the end.  It could have been a great movie if not for those two things.  THe other Movie was Meet the Spartans this movie was funny but very very discusting.  This movie was funny but I would not see it again.  It was just bad. Well I have to go for now so I'll talk to all of you later and I'll try to get a tag up so that you guys can stop readng about my boring life. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/470443/ Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:45:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/470443/ Well its about time for me to write again after all christmas was only about 3 weeks ago.  So my new year is going pretty good nothing to complain about.  One thing that is makeing me very happy right now is that I will be gradating...graduiasion....gradautiun.... I'll be done!  Just kidding, but I am very stoked.  I've been waiting so long for this and now its finaly here.  And a follow up on what I wrote about  last time.  Well this girl broke up with the guy and every thing worked out but now she is making some bad choices as a sort of bounce back, so she needs prayer.   Oh about two weeks ago I saw a girl that I havent seen in a long time.  I have known here forever, I'm not kidding. Our parents knew each other before they got married.  And this girl was amazing, she is every thing that I've ever wanted.  But there is only one problem, she now lives in oklahoma, go figure hu.  Your all thinking "wow you sure know how to pick em"  Oh well, every thing will work out. well Ive got to go now see you around Alex  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/463188/ Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:28:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/463188/ I figure that I had better say this now or else I'll forget to do it later. MERRY CHRISTMAS every one.  Ok now thatss done.  Things are pretty much the same sence the last time I posted.     My dislike for a guy a youth group is getting greater every time I see him. this is the same guy that I mentioned the last time I posted.  Ok in case some of you are lost at this point there is a new guy at my youth group that I don't get along with.  Here is what some of the reasons that I don't like him.  1: he comes to my youth group meeting one night  and half an  hour into the meeting he starts to flirt with a girl and I mean hard core flirting.  Oh and I had liked this girl for a few months and I thought that she liked me.  Now this guy is friends with two there people in the group and they have been try to get this guy and this girl together for a long time now.  Well any way they had been seeing each other every day for two weeks thanks to his friends in the youth group.  Now they are going out and I'm kind of left hanging out to dry if you know what I mean.  2: But its more than that, he treats her like crud. He makes fun of her behind her back and is generaly a jerk.   When I first met him I didn't like him but I didn't say any thing because I didn't know why I didn't like him, well now I know.  I'm trying not to hate him but it getts harder every time I see him.  And now this girl won't talk to me or even look at me.  And this whole thing just makes me mad All right I"m done complaining and I'm sorry I made you sit through all of that.  On the brighter side of life I just went to see I am Legend, it's a good movie.  But  even cooler than that I saw a trailer for Narnia Prince Caspian and I have to say that movie looks totaly awsome.    Well I have to go now but before I go I just want to say to all of you Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!   and don't let any thing spoil the birth of Christ. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/446857/ Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:13:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Vips44/446857/ Ok I've been realy busy and have not been able to post any thing recently, so I have a lot of catchen up to do.  GOOD NEWS my friends and I had an airsoft war 2 weeks ago.  BAD NEWS the trigger on my M-4 that I use as a back up gun broke off.   One of my friends found a TV somewhere and dicided that 5 tv's was enough for his small house and so dicided to just give it to me.  So now I have a farely large tv in my room and I am loving it.   Last Saterday some of my friends, my youth group and me got together to hang out at my church.  It started out as a mess.  We where supposed to meet at a park a 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon.  I got there first, then two of my friends got there and we waited around for about half an hour and when we didn't see anybody we went to the church early and found three of the people who were supposd to meet  us down at the park wondering what had taken us so long.  They left to go get something to eat and so left me and my two friends at the church by ourselves.  By this time I have been getting some phone calls from other people telling me that they are going to be late.  So every body didn't actualy get there till about 4:00 o'clock and after that every thing whent smoothly.   And one last thing before I go Have any of you guys met a dude who for some reason you just didn't like and then he started to do something that just rubbed you the wrong way and you realy didn't like him at all?  I ask cuz a guy just joined my youth group and I'm haveing trouble not being mean to this person.  Well for now I have to go. Alex A.K.A.

I just a saved a ton of mony on my car insurence by switching to Gieco. Just kidding but I do have good news.  Texas A&M got a new head coach.  No more coach Fran.  We also just beat the heck out of the texas longhorns (sorry Texasgirl).  In other news, well there is actualy not any other news.  Oh I did get my ACT scores back. I did not do as good as the first time ( I got a 20 last time and a 19 this time). But it's still good enough to be considered for college.  Now I have to go but I'll update more later.
