A memorial to the troops lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. One cross for each life lost on one hillside really puts everyone we've lost in the war into perspective. You can stand among them and feel the overwhelming number.

You always want the big hit but sometimes you got to lay down a SACRIFICE bunt.

My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

SACRIFICE

Quotes
Give unto me, made lowly wise, The spirit of self-sacrifice; The confidence of reason give, And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live!
William Wordsworth Poet  (1770-1850);
The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious teaching — sacrifice.
Douglas MacArthur American General And Field Marshal  (1880-1964);
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the courage to surpass others at whatever cost, but the courage to serve others at whatever the cost.
Arthur Ashe Professional Tennis Player, Civil Rights Supporter  (1943-1993);
Nothing so much enhances a good as to make sacrifices for it.
George Santayana Philosopher, Poet, Essayist, Novelist  (1863-1952);
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannnot endure it.... Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
George Bernard Shaw Playwright, Nobel Prize Winner  (1856-1950);

Check out September 11 10th year, pay it foward event. It's on Facebook and what you do is do a kind act to three people and ask those people to pass it along, or pay it foward. Love the commercial for this website. That's what brought me here!

Its beautifully said. If giving up a little can bring a smile on somebody's face, then we should think that our work is done.
