            What program are you using?

            I’ve got one on my puter I probably have opened only once or twice to see what it was, it came with it but that was a few years back, been wondering if there are better ones out there and where and if freeware.

            I’ve been trying to find the time to do a few myself but want an upgraded program, there’s a couple of songs I’d like to put to Video Presentations.

            And your choices of what to place, as pics, is right up there also.

            Another Keeper!

            That’s what I have, so maybe, if I can find the time, I’ll try and use the Movie Maker.

            Thanks!!!!  It took a few tries before I did the first one.  So far I collect a group of picture and a song I want to use and then click on make automovie and chose music video.  The system does most of the work and I go back and switch out pictures.

      What a sad milestone. And I’m certain we were way over the “injured and damaged for life” number in comparison to 9/11 a long time ago.” I remember hearing Howard Dean talking about this in the summer of 2003, giving a ballpark number from trauma physicians of how many were being terribly maimed in Iraq for every death that was counted. Wish I could recall the ratio, but I cannot.

        We passed it long ago, as you point out.
        We don’t get Numbers on Merchenaries nor Civilian Contractors, some being Citizens of this Country!!!!

    This Sunday Is Gold Star Mothers Day

    By Karen Meredith, Proud Mom of Lt Ken Ballard- KIA 5.30.04

    In 1994, President Bill Clinton proclaimed the last Sunday in September to be Gold Star Mothers Day. He said that we should ” honor of women whose sons and daughters have pledged their lives to securing for all Americans the blessings of liberty. These mothers have made tremendous sacrifices, the most painful being the loss of their children, and deserve the respect and recognition of the nation.” This proclamation was made during a relatively peaceful period for our country.

    Gold Star Mothers Day is not a Hallmark holiday to send flowers or cards. Gold Star Mothers Day 2006 should be a day for sober reflection about how President Bush set in place a new generation of Gold Star Mothers when he sent our children to fight his illegal war in Iraq. These new Gold Star Mothers will be his legacy as the War President, as he proudly claims himself to be.

    The current president says we must honor the sacrifices of fallen soldiers by completing the mission. How will more bloodshed and more dying honor my son, who was killed in Iraq more than 2 years ago? The president can prevent the creation of new Gold Star Mothers. It is time for this president to put ALL options on the table and make necessary and immediate changes to his disastrous course in Iraq. He can start by bringing the troops home now.

    We will never forget our loved ones; they will live forever in our hearts. On Sunday, the citizens of this country must remember our sacrifice and consider the human cost of this war. That and our broken hearts are something that Gold Star Mothers live with forever.

    I AM the proud Gold Star Mother of Lt Ken Ballard, KIA in Najaf, Iraq 5.30.04

    American Gold Star Mothers

    I did NOT make this video – but its my fav anti-war video so far. Jackson Browne – Lives in the Balance. I think he originally wrote this during the Reagan years about our excursions into various places in Central and South America. But it is absolutely spot-on for our current situation.
