   This was taken from a couple of emails circulating around my office.  A coworker ask me to put them together….so the message won’t end up in your recycle bin….. His grandson is serving our country in Iraq. It is a pretty simple request ……..
   … ..WILL  YOU   WEAR  BLUE???
 
   Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News  When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac.
   During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: 'See the people in the windows?’  They sat right there in the plane , watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds , knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home , ' he said 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives.. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.'
   The night before the burial of her husband's body , Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket , asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her , tucking in the sheets below the flag.
   Before she fell asleep , she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat ,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it , ' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted.'
Blue Fridays.  Very soon , you will see a great many people wearing blue 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 afar , will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press , TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue 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 BLUE 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 blue every Friday.  --  Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync.

   But the little girl went to school  eager to tell them all About a dad she never sees  a dad who never calls There were daddies along the wall in back for everyone to meet Children squirming impatiently anxious in their seats  One by one the teacher called  a student from the class To introduce their daddy as seconds slowly passed   At last the teacher called her name every child turned to stare Each of them was searching a man who wasn't there   Her hair was up in a pony tail her favorite dress tied with a bow Today was Daddy's Day at school and she couldn't wait to go But her mommy tried to tell her that she probably should stay home  Why the kids might not understand if she went to school alone But she was not afraid she knew just what to say What to tell her classmates  of why he wasn't there today But still her mother worried for her to face this day alone And that was why once again she tried to keep her daughter home  
   "My Daddy couldn't be here because he lives so far away But I know he wishes he could be since this is such a special day  And though you cannot meet him I wanted you to know All about my daddy and how much he loves me so   He loved to tell me stories  he taught me to ride my bike He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite We used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him I'm not standing here alone’” "Where's her daddy at?"  She heard a boy call out "She probably doesn't have one"  another student dared to shout And from somewhere near the back she heard a daddy say "Looks like another deadbeat dad too busy to waste his day” The words did not offend her as she smiled up at her Mom And looked back at her teacher Who told her to go on      And with hands behind her back slowly she began to speak  And out from the mouth of a child  came words incredibly unique         
   For she stood up for the love  of a man not in her life Doing what was best for her doing what was a right   And when she dropped her hand back down staring straight into the crowd She finished with a voice so soft but its message clear and loud   "I love my daddy very much he's my shining star and if he could he'd be here but heaven's just too far You see he is an American Soldier and died just this past year  When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Americans to fear But sometimes when I close my eyes it's like he never went away” And then she closed her eyes and saw him there that day    "Cause my daddy's always with me even though we are apart  I know because he told me he'll forever be in my heart “ With that her little hand reached up and lay across her chest Feeling her own heartbeat beneath her favorite dress And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads her mother stood in tears Proudly watching her daughter who was wise beyond her years    
   And a child was blessed if only for a moment by the love of her shining star And given the gift of believing,  that heaven is never too far They say it takes a minute to find a special person an hour to appreciate them a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them Author Unbeknown to me….. This presentation produced by Laurie Larkin………….. There must be many children in the same boat as this little girl, thanks to our servicemen and their families for the sacrifice they are making to keep our country Free.  Don’t forget To wear blue on Blue Friday…. God Bless           And to her mother's amazement she witnessed with surprise A room full of daddies and children  all starting to close their eyes Who knows what they saw before them who knows what they felt inside Perhaps for merely a second  they saw him at her side " I know you're with me Daddy"  to the silence she called out  And what happened next made believers of those once filled with doubt     Not one in that room could explain it  for each of their eyes had been closed  But there on the desk beside her  was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose 
God bless  The Fallen Soldiers The Mothers And Fathers.. Brothers and Sisters Sons and Daughters Uncles and Aunts Nieces and Nephews…….

  • 12.   "My Daddy couldn't be here because he lives so far away But I know he wishes he could be since this is such a special day And though you cannot meet him I wanted you to know All about my daddy and how much he loves me so   He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite We used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him I'm not standing here alone’” "Where's her daddy at?" She heard a boy call out "She probably doesn't have one" another student dared to shout And from somewhere near the back she heard a daddy say "Looks like another deadbeat dad too busy to waste his day” The words did not offend her as she smiled up at her Mom And looked back at her teacher Who told her to go on      And with hands behind her back slowly she began to speak And out from the mouth of a child came words incredibly unique         
  • 13.   For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life Doing what was best for her doing what was a right   And when she dropped her hand back down staring straight into the crowd She finished with a voice so soft but its message clear and loud   "I love my daddy very much he's my shining star and if he could he'd be here but heaven's just too far You see he is an American Soldier and died just this past year When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Americans to fear But sometimes when I close my eyes it's like he never went away” And then she closed her eyes and saw him there that day    "Cause my daddy's always with me even though we are apart I know because he told me he'll forever be in my heart “ With that her little hand reached up and lay across her chest Feeling her own heartbeat beneath her favorite dress And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads her mother stood in tears Proudly watching her daughter who was wise beyond her years    
  • 14.   And a child was blessed if only for a moment by the love of her shining star And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far They say it takes a minute to find a special person an hour to appreciate them a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them Author Unbeknown to me….. This presentation produced by Laurie Larkin………….. There must be many children in the same boat as this little girl, thanks to our servicemen and their families for the sacrifice they are making to keep our country Free. Don’t forget To wear blue on Blue Friday…. God Bless           And to her mother's amazement she witnessed with surprise A room full of daddies and children all starting to close their eyes Who knows what they saw before them who knows what they felt inside Perhaps for merely a second they saw him at her side " I know you're with me Daddy" to the silence she called out And what happened next made believers of those once filled with doubt     Not one in that room could explain it for each of their eyes had been closed But there on the desk beside her was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose
