Remember Those Who Marched Before Us - Bataan Memorial Death March 2024

In April 1942, about 75,000 U.S. and Filipino prisoners of war were forced to walk 65 miles through sweltering jungle when the Japanese invaded the Philippines during #WWII. This became known as the Bataan Death March.
Since 1989, civilians and service members have gathered annually in New Mexico to take part in a marathon that honors the fallen and the survivors of that march. We have not forgotten their sacrifice.
Read more about this year's marathon: www.defense.go...

28 April 2024. Evening Poem: Names of Cat Lucky, Lucky Luckdragon, Lucky Cat, Best Cat Stretchy Longlegs when she stretches after a nap Yawny McBigmouth when she yawns Scoopski Potatoes when she is warm & limp from sleep and I can scoop her up in my arms Happy Cat when she purs Are you a happy cat? I ask her I love you, I tell her, You're a blessing from God Little Face when she appears suddenly at my elbow in the dark peering intently & innocently at the snack I attempted to eat quietly after she went to bed Warm & Snuggly when she wakes me up each morning too early, but now I no longer wake up an angry Veteran she's the best alarm clock Mighty Hunter when she snags the toy out of the air or when she brings home prey alive I baptized my Cat tonight, I did though it says nowhere in the Bible I can do it not by immersion, that would be cruel but I dipped my fingertips in water and drew three crosses on her head as I baptized her in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit I will take this Cat with me as far as God lets me go We are a team now and strong As for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD The nonbelievers snicker about Little Baby Jesus as I once did but my God is El Shaddai The God of the Mountaintop He is a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night My God is the one who drowned Pharaoh's army without pity Not because God hated Pharaoh or to exact vengeance for the enslavement of the Jews But to execute judgment upon the gods (little g) of Egypt to show that there is only one true God: The God of the Mountaintop God who made the Cats - TWS

23 April 2024. Evening Dispatch: Liberty or Death. Thank you to the Senate for passing aid to our allies. Thank you Minority Leader McConnell and thank you Speaker Johnson for your leadership: you gentlemen did the right thing. Thank you for passing it tonight and not tomorrow - every hour matters to the lives of brave Ukrainian Warriors, and now I can watch the season finale of my show SHOGUN in peace. Lucky the Cat is responding well to the dewormer, sleeping and eating with no further vomiting, thanks be to Almighty God. Thank you to everyone and anyone who prayed for her. May God bless the veterinarian who cared for her, and bless all veterinarians. All of Ukraine shall be Ukraine. Ukraine shall be victorious, and independent, and NATO. This war ends with Vovochka Putin's death, overthrow, or surrender-on-his-knees. I cannot condone any "two state solution." I fear the God of Israel, who is the God of the Universe, I fear His curse upon my nation and upon myself, and thus I cannot condone taking even one square inch of land from Israel. The Nationalist government in Taiwan has never been a part of the Chinese Communist government on the mainland. They fought to a stalemate many years ago. That war is long over. There was a dream that was America, and that dream shall be realized. God save the United States of America, and all our Noble Allies. God save the Congress, both Houses and both Parties. God save the President. V/R, In Christ, TWS

4 May 2024. Evening Dispatch. May the Force be with you, especially the Jedi Generation, the generation formerly known as Gen Z as if they would be the last generation of Americans: may God who is the source of all martial power make you a generation of warriors mightier & nobler & more honorable than my own. We will teach you everything we know, and you will exceed us, for this is the way of generations. Mark Hamill, Sir: I loved your movies. I had a big Star Wars movie poster in my childhood bedroom. Thank you for all you do for Ukraine. God save the United States of America, and all our Noble Allies. May God grant total victory to Ukraine and Israel. May God strengthen our President for war. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4GYoZeAh7Bln5o

22 April 2024. Morning Dispatch for The National Guard, CC: POTUS & SECDEF & Space Force. National Guard, If you are explicitly invited by the university president of any of these universities presently suffering anti-American anti-Semitic pro-terrorist protests, then you have my permission to militarily occupy that university for a period not to exceed one (1) month to restore order so American students may continue their education in peace without fearing for their lives from terrorist-sympathizers, and to forcibly evict pro-terrorist encampments on university grounds. Use the minimum force necessary to resolve all conflicts - remember that these are Our Fellow Americans. May God have mercy on us all and grant wisdom to us all. May our Brothers-and-Sisters-in-Arms who gave their very lives in Iraq and Afghanistan to defeat the terrorists forgive these ignorant civilians who dishonor their memory and service and sacrifice and country. These are my orders given under my hand. Very Respectfully, In Christ, T.W. Semple 1st Lieutenant, U.S. Air Force IRR Commanding P.S.: Space Force, I repeat that I want you to take point on the missile defense mission. You are Space Force, you have the high ground. This is Reagan's Own SDI Strategic Defense Initiative "Star Wars," you are taking point, all other branches and agencies are subordinate to you in this mission, and all treaties with the Russians are off.

15 April 2024. Poem: Adopted - or - Catto de tutti Catti How many cat poems is too many cat poems? stop me if I'm boring you I used to wake up furious every morning now I wake up to a happy cat purring in my face and I don't wake up angry anymore I busy myself with her food and water this Cat who is so happy to be here and I tell her I love her At first I was against adoption because how could I travel back to DC? Now I'll change my whole life for this Cat I have adopted we'll settle here, find a house somehow for I would not put her through the stress of travel Adopted by the King I was when Christ adopted me I can't afford to move back to my hometown of DC anyway not on what the Boomers pay me to give them orders The President wants to avoid escalation and the President wants to avoid escalation so the escalation will continue until USA and our NATO Allies start roaring like the lions we are The President will avoid escalation until this war comes to our shores and it will be too late should've put our foot down should've joined battle So until then I am growing a tomato plant here and a strawberry plant a pot of flowers all vertically arranged to catch the falling water like in Jeremiah chapter 29 At least I got to be a gardener once in this life which is the original occupation God chose for us, there in the Garden of Eden not warfare but gardening When the war comes to our shores, they'll know where to find me when they come to call me up so I can fail their marijuana urine test with a beard that's way out of regulations - TWS

9 April 2024. Letter to The Emperor of Japan Naruhito. It is our great honor and pleasure to humbly and respectfully welcome Japan to America. Long live the Cherry Blossom Alliance between our two Great Nations. Banzai! U.S. Steel must remain American, for it is a national security industry. If Japan would like to go to Iowa, and buy up all the soy beans we grow there for the enrichment of American Farmers, and build in America a Japanese-owned soy sauce brewery to brew Japanese soy sauce in the Japanese style using American ingredients and then sell this finest of soy sauces to all the world for the enrichment of Japan, this could be arranged. May Almighty God, who reigneth high above all nations, bless the Emperor and bless Japan, and bless our Cherry Blossom Alliance. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen. Very Respectfully, In Christ, Timothy Waldron Semple 1st Lieutenant, U.S. Air Force IRR Commanding
