I had ordered it, and it was on backorder so I did not know if he would get it in time before he left. It was delivered on the day of his deployment, and I gave it to him before he went over seas. I have since received photos of him and wouldn't you know, he is still wearing the medal along with his dog tags. It makes me feel pretty special knowing that it was just a small spiritual token is a part of his everyday. He tells me that there are times that he misses home so much that he closes his eyes, holds on to the medal, and prays for a safe return home. I am blessed to be associated with such a brave individual. I also purchased a medal of St.George for my best friend that was being deployed for Iraq in June of last year.

Perhaps you need to start a "Revellanary" for your words. :) Well, the corruption is certainly no illusion in the state of Illinois. I think the state should change their method of selecting candidates. Instead of electing someone and spending all the money to send them to jail, just make one of the criteria that they already have to be in jail to get on the ballot. At least there will be no secret about what you are getting. Dave Hey Bobby…

A group of friends this week mistakened me for an atheist, but I explained I am not. I powerfully believe in God, though I don't consider myself religious. The current economic crisis--all the greed, corruption, liars and Teflon politicians who go unpunished--can certainly learn a lesson from St Thomas More and his finality. But today it seems, those deserving punishment get none; the people deserving acclaim get none; we only reward bad behavior--we expect it and look up to it. Life is not without a sense of irony--but all this is unironic. That's my word for today . . . unironic. Hi Dave! A group of friends this week mistakened me for an atheist, but I explained I am not.

More positively the devotion of his daughter Margaret to her father is one of history's more touching stories.

Actually, I've added a bail with a swivel for a couple of clients so that the pendant rotates freely. Dave You are most welcome.

I agree about it being a personal choice Bobby. So many times it doesn't have to do directly with religion but it's difficult for so many to make the separation. Dave Hi Bobby… lol!

I agree about it being a personal choice Bobby. So many times it doesn’t have to do directly with religion but it’s difficult for so many to make the separation.
