I decided to make this in honor of the Ameel family reunion! I thought it would be cool to see all of the pictures together in a slide show of some sort. I made it though windows movie maker. I used it to put in all of the cool effects and music. After I was done, I was able to save it in a folder then burn it on a disc so I could see it on the TV to!! Well I hope you all like it as much as I enjoyed making it!!

Project Red Shirt

If project red shirt is new to you, read below how it went for a man…

“Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together..

After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who’d been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.

‘No’, he responded.
‘Heading out?’ I asked.

‘No. I’m escorting a soldier home.’

Going to pick him up?

‘No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq , I’m taking him home to his family. ‘

The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn’t know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier’s family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days.

I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, ‘Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do.’

Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom.

‘Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign.’

Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American.. ”

So here’s a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do.

Red Fridays.

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 a far, 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.

PLEASE, invite your friends from school, church, or anywhere! Get your communities involved and tell everyone you know.

I would also like to take this opportunity to Thank all of our men and women in the Armed Forces and their families.

Ameel Family is now Thesis too!!!

After upgrading Wags’ World to the Thesis Theme for WordPress I felt that I had to upgrade this one too. Thesis is one of the best professionally created and supported WordPress themes available, in my humble opinion. I hope you like the change. If you have any comments, suggestions, etc please post a comment to let me know.

We now have polls!!!!

Howdy everyone! Hope this finds you all well. Please check out our latest feature on the right sidebar (that’s the right side of the home page, for all you non-techies out there ) –>

Take a moment to answer the current poll. I will try to put a new one up every couple of weeks or so. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them in the forum.

Take care!
