Christmas Salute To Our Military

Did you know? 20-25% of Americans are Catholic
Did you know? 45-50% of those serving in the U.S. Military are Catholic

I wonder if the reason for this high percentage of Catholic men and women willing to serve this nation is that woven into the fabric of a Catholic is the sense of community, service to mankind and the willingness to sacrifice because Christ said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

It is a fact that after the Federal Government of the United States of America...the Catholic Church is the Largest Charitable Organization in the World.

The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people - not just Catholics- in the U.S. today.
Generosity, Love & Compassion is also woven into the fabric of a Catholic.

 The Video and Poem below is in honor of All Our Military especially during this Sacred Season when many are far from home. God Bless Each And Every One!  May God Protect Them As They Protect Us.  May All Leaders Make Good & Godly Decisions.

Opposing Abortions On Military Bases

Military Doctors Sign Letter Opposing Abortions On Military Bases

A letter to the U.S. Senate protesting an amendment requiring U.S. military hospitals to provide abortions was signed by more than 200 military doctors. The letter was organized by the Christian Medical Association (CMA).

Pro-abortion Senator Roland Burris (D/Illinois) sponsored the amendment which would break the current long-standing policy of not allowing abortions at military medical facilities.

The letter urged senators to vote no on the National Defense Authorization Act unless the Burris amendment is removed.

The senior vice-president of CMA, Gene Rudd, M.D. emphasized that, “If enacted, requiring military physicians to perform abortions threatens military readiness. Morale will suffer among those already serving. Morale is a key component of military effectiveness.”

“Furthermore,” Dr. Rudd pointed out, “just as we have seen a marked decrease in young doctors entering OB/GYN training for fear of being forced to do abortion, this requirement will discourage young doctors from joining the military.”

The Senate Armed Services Committee approved the amendment 15-12, with all 11 Republicans plus Democratic Senator Ben Nelson voting against it. Senator Roger Wicker (R/MS), who fought against the amendment in committee, is planning to sponsor an amendment of the Senate floor to strike the language.
