Inspiration
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'
A mother asked this President.. 'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?'
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait ?'
Another mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam ?'
Another mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Korea ?'
Another mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima ?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France ?'
Yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg ?'
And yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge ?'
Then long, long ago, a mother asked..
'Heavenly Father .. why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem ?'
The answer is always the same... 'So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.'

Funny
Out of all the blonde jokes, this one has to be one of the best!
Football FINALLY makes sense...
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. 'Oh, I really liked it,' she replied, 'especially all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.’ Dumbfounded, her date asked, 'What do you mean? ‘Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!
#14 Tyler Scmale “GET’S the quarterback”
Nick Beebee also GET’S the quarterback”
