A TOUCHING SCENE........very sad, indeed. Is there a family member alive today who has heard tales of her life and death and passed them on?
Or is she another soul lost in the universe of time to be called by name at some time yet ahead in time?
Today is Memorial Day 2009.....................Rob

Peace Dollar
THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT A SILVER DOLLAR
The date of 1922 is a date that should be well remembered. The men and women born in 1922 were only 19 when America was attacked in 1941. Within less than a year from the day the war started, our armed forces were filled with millions of men and women who were born in 1922 and the other years of the early 1920s. And there were millions more Americans who would continue joining, some born in years prior to the beginning of the 20th Century.
When America was attacked by another enemy on 11 September 2001, millions of men and women joined the Armed Services of the United States to combat the enemy. The new enemy, men without a nation , men who hate America for our freedoms of choice and who have vowed to destroy us, have not surrendered.
As there were Americans who did not wait for their nation to call them to duty in 1941 but joined en masse to defend our freedoms, there were those Americans who did not wait for a call to duty after the heinous and cowardly attack on our homeland on 11 September 2001.
American men and women have not changed their values, their hopes and their love of our nation since 7 December 1941. Although there is, for the most part, a totally different news media since World War Two, the men and women who have continued to serve in uniform are as dedicated now as they were then. And although many in our government have cowered to this loathsome and murderous enemy who murder the innocent, there are still those who believe our nation is worth fighting for; there are those who still believe in the same values we shared as a nation in 1941 and refuse to lay down our arms and surrender our freedom of speech and religion for the common agreement on some very subversive ideologies

SHADOWS AND SHAPES: CONTRAST IMAGES
THE SHADOW REMIND ME OF THE NOTRE DAME LOGO, SO I THOUGH ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RECENT VISIT TO NOTRE DAME. HE DID NOT INVITE HIMSELF, LET US KEEP THIS FACT IN MIND. WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT HIS VISIT?
AS A LOYAL DEFENDER OF FREE SPEECH, I ADMIRE PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR ACCEPTING THE INVITE TO SPEAK AT NOTRE DAME. DESPITE THE OPPOSITION WHICH WAS REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN LIP SERVICE, HE DELIVERED A SPEECH THAT WAS APPROPRIATE AND WITHOUT CONTROVERSY.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF NOTRE DAME FIRST BEGAN HIS SPEECH, I FELT THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS A BIT CONCERNED THAT HE WAS BEING "SET UP" FOR A SEVERE SCOLDING AND NOTICED HIS RELIEF WHEN THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT PRESENTED ALL LAURELS WITH NO THORNS.
I ADMIRE PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR ACCEPTING, SHOWING UP AND DELIVERING A MEMORABLE SPEECH THAT WILL BE NOTED IN HISTORY. GETTING TO KNOW HOW THE PRESIDENT THINKS, ONE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE REASONS FOR HIS SUCCESS IN ACHIEVING HIS GOAL TO BECOME PRESIDENT.
ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT HAVE A TREMENDOUS TRACK RECORD, BEING SMART ENOUGH TO PLAN HOW TO BECOME PRESIDENT IS A MAMMOTH ACHIEVEMENT IN ITSELF. CONGRATS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA..............BY ROBERT L. HUFFSTUTTER

Champagne dist. German Prisoners receiving bread..
THIS IS ONE OF THE PHOTOS THAT SHOWS EXACTLY HOW STRONG THE GENES WERE IN THIS FAMILY.
COMPARE THIS PHOTO WITH NICHOLAS WHO....
WAS SLAIN BY THE BOLSHEVEIKS IN 1918 ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW PASSIONATE PEOPLE BECOME OVER POLITICS, FREEDOM AND GOVERNMENT.
IF ONE THINKS ABOUT THE SITUATION, ONE CAN PERCEIVE THAT THERE ARE SOME MEN WHO ARE BORN WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, WITHOUT SOUL, WITHOUT ANY LINK TO HUMANITY WITHIN THEIR MIND AND BODY. THAT THERE WERE MEN WILLING TO SHOOT AN ENTIRE FAMILY IN COLD BLOOD OVER AN ISSUE OF BIRTH IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. WELL, NOT REALLY. IT HAPPENS TO AMERICANS EVERY DAY. HOMOCIDES, KILLINGS, MURDERS, DAY AFTER DAY, NOT OVER ROYALTY BUT OVER DRUGS, LOVE AFFAIRS, MONEY, ETC. BUT NOT ONLY MEN, WOMEN TOO ARE GUILTY OF THESE HEINOUS CRIMES. SO HOW COULD THEY HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF GETTING RID OF THE ROYALTY THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THEM TO A SECRET ESTATE ON THE CRIMEA AND HELD THEM THROUGH THE FORCE OF A GARRISON AND LET THEM LIVE OUT THEIR NORMAL LIFETIME. THEY COULD HAVE EDUCATED THE CHILDREN AND SENT THEM OFF TO AMERICA WHEN THEY CAME OF AGE. OH, THESE ARE JUST PASSING THOUGHTS, IDEAS OF HOW SOME THINGS COULD BE SETTLED THROUGH A MORE CIVIL MEANS. WHO HAS THEANSWERS FOR THE TRAGEDIES OF WAR IT IS AS IF WE PLACED HERE AS GAMEPIECES FOR ENTERTAINMENT...AND THEN I RECALL WE WEREGIVEN THE POWER TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.......
