FLAG DAY, JUNE 14, 2008, ACHIEVERS RECOGNIZED

For the many men and women who have defended and our now defending our Freedoms under the banner of the United States of America Flag....THANK YOU AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU...NOW AND ALWAYS!

Your patriotism in displaying the American Flag not only on Flag Day but also during the rest of the year means you LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND YOU LOVE WHAT THE AMERICAN FLAG SYMBOLIZES...with the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!
WE ARE A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH ALL FIFTY STATES and Territories....UNDER GOD WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

For all of the Fathers who have given their lives in the pursuit of Freedom throughout the World and especially in the United States of America and for all the Fathers who are now serving in the United States Military in many capacities to keep our Freedoms that we have taken for granted at times....THANK YOU AND WE SUPPORT YOU AND WE HOPE TO HAVE YOU HOME SOON WITH YOUR FAMILIES WHEN YOUR JOB IS REALLY DONE.

In my mail today, a special wish for all Fathers/Dads on Father Day is worth sharing with you now:

"THE IMPORTANCE OF A FATHER"

"St. Joseph was strong in the face of adversity and poverty of his time. He is a model of the virtues of PRUDENCE, HUMILITY, STRENGTH, AND FORTITUDE. Even though Joseph is 'SILENT' in Scripture, his actions speak to us more clearly than recorded words. Just as Joseph resigned his own will to the will of God, so a GOOD FATHER walks the path as God sets it out for him. The greatest gift any father can give to his children is LIFELONG FIDELITY to his MARRIAGE COVENANT. Children learn about LOVE through a FATHER'S AFFECTION, PRAYER, HONOR, SELF-CONTROL, FORGIVENESS, AND INTEGRITY."
(June, 2008, Mindszenty Report, Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation, St. Louis, Missouri, 1958-2008)

"St. Joseph showed Jesus all the natural love, all the affectionate solicitude that a Father's heart can know." (Pope John Paul II)

HAPPY FATHERS/DADS DAY, JUNE 15, 2008...BE A LOVING FATHER FOR ALL SEASONS AND FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS!
