I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Another Navajo Code Talker has passed away.  Tom Jones, Jr. passed away on May 12.

Be warned, reading the article below will make you angry.  The conditions these men, these veterans, live in is just unforgivable.  It saddened me to read this, not only as an Indian, but as an American.
This treatment has to stop,I agree as well as a Veteran of the USAF 1971-1974 and the Son of a WW2 Veteran of the USAF who when the war ended was part of the Occupation Forces in Japan,Rest In Eternal Peace SGT Golch,Phillip R.(AKA DAD!)

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom.  For that I am proud to call them Hero.

  1. Okay, I said this over at Steve's but I'll say it again. They gave him a house, but after all these years it's in disrepair. Didn't this man work after the war? It just isn't making sense why he was living this way. I don't get it. We do maintenance on our home all the time (as most of us do). If we didn't we'd be living just like this at some point.

    May he rest in eternal peace. :)
