Same day.....2nd entry....December 7th, 2006
One thing that is on my mind. Today is the day that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. It is a day to remember the people that died the day when we were bombed. First attack on American Soil. In my lifetime who wouldve thought we wouldve experienced a day like 9-11....and to the people in Pearl Harbor that was a 9-11 to them. To see those planes flying overhead and bombing was probably unbelievable. I am a patriot. I love the United States. When I went to Australia this year...while I had a great time and had a "dream-come-true" trip....it was my favorite thing to see when I arrived back in LA the sign that said "Welcome to the United States". (I took a picture of it and it is the last pic in my photo album.) I love this country....and I love the soldiers past and present that gave/give their lives for our safety. I think with all that is going on in the world....I just want them home. I want the President to bring them home. I prayed for George W this morning and the soldiers. I cant imagine what is must be like to be a soldier in Iraq right now. My heart aches. All the people that have died and all the money spent....I am just sad. I know this is a heated topic...and I will continue to pray and trust my leader,George,....but I want him to make the right decision. I care about him alot...even if I dont agree with everything he says or does. But with our economy the way it is....and with the cost of a war that we are dealing with....and people losing jobs.....Michigan in the financial place it is.....I am TOTALLY FRUSTRATED and TICKED that we are sending another space shuttle to space. How do we have the money for that....and if we do....lets cut that budget and send the soldiers what they need to get the job done there and come home. Or even help people who are dealing with the Katrina disaster. A space mission? Is it really necessary? NO. It isnt. Oh man....it makes me so mad!!!!!!!! haha. I love this country but I sure dont always understand it.

Totally random entry I know.
