Something To Think About

A friend of mine sent me this, and though I am not American, I have great respect for Canada's neighbours to the south and wanted to share this with you. It made me want to stand up and salute you all.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflectivelook at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'dchoose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. Ihope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneckfriends. Ya`ll know who ya are...You might be a redneck if. . .It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, underGod. . " You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."You bow your head when someone prays.You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the NationalAnthem.You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.You've never burned an American flag.You know what you believe and you aren't! afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.You'd give your last dollar to a friend.If you got this email from me it is because I believe that you, like me have just enough Red Neck in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.>> God Bless the USA.

Just a little something for you all to think about while I'm away. My hat is off to you all and may God keep those of you at home, and those of your loved ones overseas, safe. You will all be in my prayers.
