Hi Bob,

Thank you for your contributions sir. You helped to keep our country free. 
Were it not for all the Veterans, and the myriad of supporting roles played 
by countless citizens who aided our troops, there would be no America. We 
fought to gain freedom at the outset, have fought to keep our freedom ever 
since and will continue to be ever viligent, perhaps nowadays more so then 
ever before, and fight on to make America truly "the land of the free and 
the home of the brave".

I hope that the day 'never' comes when those who advocate the removal of "In 
God We Trust" from our coins get their way! We fought not only for freedom 
from the King of England, but among other things, the right to worship our 
God in our own way. If your way is to not worship any God, so be it. If your 
way is to worship as a Protestant, Catholic, a Jewish person or whatever, 
that is your right. America was built on a foundation of many freedoms, but 
the underlying current of strength was religious. When will America end? The 
day those coins read "In God We Once Trusted!

And just for a historical note to ponder on Thanksgiving Day as you 
plunder -

Benjamin Franklin did 'not' seriously propose that the Turkey be the 
national bird instead of an Eagle. The truth is, Franklin hated the Eagle! 
The Turkey was his tongue in cheek way of saying so!
