Baseball America, there is nothing more fascinating when rival professional crowds join forces to support our nation’s cause.

This Sports Daddy was in New Orleans for the Vikings football game just one month after 9-11. During the 2nd Quarter of that event those of us in the stands learned that the bombing of Afghanistan had begun.  I will never forget the shivers Read more…

My wife and kids recently returned home from a 7-day vacation. I will never forget the welcome home embrace that my little 2-year old girl gave me. It was a 10 minute snuggle into my neck, and while she burrowed in, I felt her truly missing me for that entire week.

These feelings are human, and real. I live for moments like this with loved ones. It is a human need as urgent as life itself.

I guarantee that you will cry (if you are human) within the first minute of this video. To the soldiers that are coming home, I salute you, and hope that your days back in the states are peaceful, loving and as compassionate as a welcome home hug from a loved one.

And, THANK YOU for your service!!!

I am going to start posting things that my friends send to me via email. You know the type of email that people read and feel strong enough to forward? Anyway, I usually don’t FORWARD anything to anyone’s in box without feeling strong enough to render an opinion, so when I post these, I will try and share my opinions.

This one is obviously politically motivated, intended to send a message to the democratic party. I am not a “tea party” Republican by any means, but I do believe in the type of government that requires checks and balances. When one party gets too powerful, it is in my nature to vote for change. I am a strong advocate of voting for the best person who most represents your beliefs, and feel that every opinion should be considered. So with hopes of helping spread the word of someone who wrote this, here goes:

“68% will send this, should be 100%”

We the people are coming
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
In the email, I was asked to send this on if I agree, or delete if I don’t.  It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.  Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In God! We Trust’ on our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance. I believe it’s time we stand up for what we believe!  If you agree, pass this on, if not, delete.
