by: Kris Mineau (President Emeritus) This long weekend we commemorate the birth of the greatest country on earth. With fireworks, parades and backyard cookouts, Americans will celebrate the stars and stripes and the values and freedoms for which we have come to be known around the world. There is no doubt that America is still the greatest […]
While Americans were busy celebrating the heroes of D-Day, the military was coping with its own invasion of federal marriage law. After three weeks of silence, the Army confirmed yesterday that it conducted the military’s first-ever homosexual “wedding” at Fort Polk base in Louisiana. According to officials, the ceremony took place about three weeks ago […]
Dear Friends of the Family, The weather forecast for this weekend looks pretty good, despite the rain of the past couple days. Many of us will have an opportunity to barbecue with friends and family, or spend a day or two camping. But let us remember that on Monday we as a nation will recognize Americans from […]
From our friends at the Family Research Council: Speaking of charades, the Pentagon’s comprehensive “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” study seems to be full of them. Back in 2010, one of the conditions for repeal was that the Defense Department would continue to view its benefits policy through the lens of the federal Defense of Marriage […]
From Family Research Council: Speaking of charity, the U.S. Air Force wants to promote less of it. Last week, the branch’s headquarters apologized for encouraging cadets to help needy children after complaints from an atheist fringe. The Academy had circulated an email asking people to partner with Operation Christmas Child, a longtime project of Samaritan’s […]
Dear Friends of the Family, Tomorrow is November 11, Veterans Day. Most people will take time tomorrow to thank the veterans in their lives for their service to our nation. Veterans Day has its roots in Armistice Day, the day that World War I ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the […]
Yesterday, the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy on homosexuals serving openly was officially repealed, and Senator Brown, who reneged on a campaign promise to support the repeal, received an award from a prominent gay organization last night. At the 2011 Spirit of Lincoln Awards Dinner, a national event hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans, […]
As with same-sex “marriage” and the agenda that followed its legalization here in Massachusetts, the homosexuals and their advocates have been anything but satisfied with the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” That repeal is set to take place in two weeks, but homosexuals are already asking for Outserve, an underground homosexual magazine, to be […]
From the Family Research Council: Count the U.S. military among the many Americans who could benefit from new leadership in the White House. According to some analysts, a new President would have enough executive authority to block open homosexuals from the military. Although the commander-and-chief couldn’t reinstate the 1993 statute without Congress’s support, he or […]
Friends of the Family, As a combat veteran of the United State Air Force and someone who has lost close friends in battle, each news report about the death of a soldier, sailor or airman overseas affects me in a very personal way. When it was reported that a helicopter was downed in Afghanistan and […]
