OUR ETERNAL STRUGGLE: GOT CHERRY PIE?

*************************************************************
*************************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

Do you enjoy chowing down on some scrumptious slices of cherry pie ala mode?

Saturday 22 February 2014, is the 283d birthday of GEORGE WASHINGTON, and it is a traditional American custom to celebrate by eating cherry pie on this day.

Unfortunately, according to Laura Slack, our Directrix of Resident Affairs, it is the official policy here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi to absolutely REFUSE to observe the traditional birthday of George Washington by serving cherry pie for dessert in our mess hall!

Most folks don't realize that George Washington was NOT the first president of the United States of America, but he was the first president of our Republic.

The Articles of Confederation

Prior to the ratification of our divinely inspired Constitution of the United States of America, our nation was a Confederacy, and our first president was Samuel Huntington.

For the best effect, please be sure and watch, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, this automated series of video recordings, posted at the YOU TUBE web site by Stanley Klos on Thursday10 April 2008.

"PARCHMENT, QUILL, AND THE PEOPLE'S WILL"

Words and Music by:
JOHN ROBERT MALLERNEE

Tuesday 21 October 1986
Ogden, Utah

VERSE # 01:
Parchment, quill,
And the people's will
In a sacred land;
With sword and pen,
The rebel men
Made a noble stand.

CHORUS:
The light goes forth
Throughout the World
To shine for all to see.
"We, the People" forevermore
Born of God to stay free!
"We, the People" forevermore
Born of God to stay free!

VERSE # 02:
Freedom's light
Was born of fight
Against a tyrant king.
Nothing's free
Or comes easily.
You work for everything.

VERSE # 03:
Federal power
Can grow by hour,
The Founders warned us all.
Search and fight
For what is right,
Or you'll see Liberty fall!
