Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that ... every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is ..."We need your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

This morning I watched Attorney Steve DeWolf explain will probation. He did not mention that video taping the will execution ceremony can save some future headaches.

Modern video-recording technology provides an inexpensive, convenient, and reliable method of preserving evidence of the will execution ceremony and its important components. A properly prepared videotape can be used to establish testamentary capacity, testamentary intent, compliance with will formalities, the contents of the will, lack of undue influence or fraud, and even the correct interpretation or construction of the will if the tape recorded the testator explaining the provisions. This technique is gaining in popularity as states, either by case law or statute, begin to formulate guidelines for the use of these tapes as evidence in a will contest action.

A videotape of the will execution ceremony has many potential advantages. It is highly accurate, unlike witnesses whose memories and impressions fade with the passage of time. The tape improves the ability of the court or jury to evaluate the testator’s condition by preserving valuable nonverbal evidence such as demeanor, voice tone and inflection, facial expressions, and gestures. The tape may also have psychological benefits for both the testator and the survivors. The testator may feel more confident that the intended dispositive plan will take effect and the survivors may gain solace from viewing the testator delivering a final message.

Despite the significant benefits of a will execution videotape, there are several potential problems. In some cases, you can take steps to reduce or eliminate these problems, while in other situations the prudent decision would be to forgo taping the ceremony. Although a situation may otherwise seem appropriate for videotaping, you may be hesitant to expose the testator to the court. An accurate picture of the testator may lead a judge or jury to conclude that the testator was incompetent or unduly influenced. Similarly, bias against the testator may exist because of the testator’s outward appearance; the testator’s age, sex, race, disability, or annoying habits may prejudice some individuals. There is also a possibility that someone might alter the videotape. The alteration could be accidental through inadvertent erasure or exposure to a strong magnetic field.

I personally prefer to have the will ceremony on tape to prevent some problems if it is contested. I even provide such a service on my website at www.unitexweb.com

Does anyone else have a preference in how this should be done?

Can this be for real?

The politicians and pundits have even talked of impeachment of the Secretary of Defense. If this doesn't show the complete lack of comprehension and understanding of the seriousness of the enemy we are fighting, the life and death struggle we are in and the disastrous results of losing this war, nothing can.

To bring our country to a virtual political standstill over this prisoner issue makes us look like Nero playing his fiddle as Rome burned -- totally oblivious to what is going on in the real world. Neither we, nor any other country, can survive this internal strife Again I say, this does not mean that some of our politicians or media people are disloyal. It simply means that they are absolutely oblivious to the magnitude, of the situation we are in and into which the Muslim terrorists have been pushing us, for many years

Remember, the Muslim terrorists stated goal is to kill all infidels! That translates into ALL non-Muslims -- not just in the United States, but throughout the world.

We are the last bastion of defense.

We have been criticized for many years as being 'arrogant..' That charge is valid in at least one respect. We are arrogant in that we believe that we are so good, powerful and smart, that we can win the hearts and minds of all those who attack us, and that with both hands tied behind our back, we can defeat anything bad in the world!

We can't!

If we don't recognize this, our nation as we know it will not survive, and no other free country in the world will survive if we are defeated.

And finally, name any Muslim countries throughout the world that allow freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, equal rights for anyone -- let alone everyone, equal status or any status for women, or that have been productive in one single way that contributes to the good of the world.

This has been a long way of saying that we must be united on this war or we will be equated in the history books to the self-inflicted fall of the Roman Empire. If, that is, the Muslim leaders will allow history books to be written or read.

If we don't win this war right now, keep a close eye on how the Muslims take over France in the next 5 years or less. They will continue to increase the Muslim population of France and continue to encroach little by little, on the established French traditions. The French will be fighting among themselves, over what should or should not be done, which will continue to weaken them and keep them from any united resolve. Doesn't that sound eerily familiar?

Democracies don't have their freedoms taken away from them by some external military force. Instead, they give their freedoms away, politically correct piece by politically correct piece.

And they are giving those freedoms away to those who have shown, worldwide, that they abhor freedom and will not apply it to you or even to themselves, once they are in power.

They have universally shown that when they have taken over, they then start brutally killing each other over who will be the few who control the masses. Will we ever stop hearing from the politically correct, about the "peaceful Muslims"?

I close on a hopeful note, by repeating what I said above If we are united, there is no way that we can lose. I hope now after the election, the factions in our country will begin to focus on the critical situation we are in, and will unite to save our country. It is your future we are talking about! Do whatever you can to preserve it.

After reading the above, we all must do this not only for ourselves, but our children, our grandchildren, our country and the world.

Whether Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal and that includes the Politicians and media of our country and the free world!

Please forward this to any one you feel may want, or NEED to read it. Our "leaders" in Congress ought to read it, too.

No war without a Declaration of War thus no wars against poverty, drugs, “terrorism” or “insurgents”; mainly because without a declared war the enemy is not identified and victory is ever uncertain. All such ‘wars’ are endless quagmires that can never be clearly won. Either identify the enemy, declare war and fight for a clear victory over a known enemy, or get out now.

If the local business establishements take the question "Have you ever been convicted of a felony" off the employement applications, then why can't they take the "Ethnic Group" check boxes off as well? Does it really matter if you can do the job? It all sounds like some kind of discrimination information anyway.

Can someone tell me why anything that discriminates needs to be on the application for employment?
