Facebook's New App, Pet Pardons is a Wonderful Idea!

Facebook has added a new application to their many they already have but this app is special because it helps save pets that are on death row. You simply go to the Pet Pardons App Page, install the app and click on the pet you would like to be an advocate for and it will instantly broadcast on your page that you have helped to pardon a pet before it's too late.

Today I installed the app and my first pet that chose to help pardon is Bluebell...

This is Bluebell the Dog - Pit Bull Terrier

Bluebell is scheduled to be put down at Pets Are for Life(PALS) TODAY! Contact Debbie Vaughan-Shubert before it's too late!

Casey Anthony acquitted in daughter's murder?!

I am shocked over the verdict in the Casey Anthony Murder Trial, this person was tried for murdering her two year old daughter, Caylee. After a year of evidence and discovery then on to trial, the jury actually "Acquits" this psychopath. Not a miss-trial or a hung jury an actual "ACQUITTAL"!

I have attached some links to follow showing the time line as well as evidence and some disgusting pictures of a so called mother just days after her two year old went missing, partying when she should have been searching and then grieving.

Obviously the system and/or the Florida Courts really messed this one up. It is amazing how just a few stupid people can really screw up and drag out a trial that should have been over in a matter of minutes ending with a death penalty for a completely insane, inhumane and mental bitch.

The actual victim here is the darling little two year old Caylee who did not deserve to have her life end so early and then after she passed have her so called mom make a complete idiot out of herself and the whole court room into a comedy act.

BEAUTIFUL CAYLEE

Caylee will be remembered as a beautiful, sweet and darling little girl that she was regardless of anything or anyone, no one can take away the smile she had and the sweetness she will always have.

Below you will find several links to the news websites who are showing the shocking verdict. There are also links to websites that show the timeline as well as the evidence in this case.

Of course the above statements are only my opinion but I'm sure alot of people have the same opinion as I do. You will also see alot of pictures that show just what kind of "mother" Casey WAS!

Remember what a debt we owe to these heroes this July 4th!

As we draw closer to the 4th of July, I've got one simple request. As you celebrate this Independence Day, will you take a moment and remember those who served and those who sacrificed? It can be as simple as a brief pause, a silent prayer, a toast or an offer of thanks.


I would like to share with you a unique story of one man's 4th of July and how it gave him a special meaning that he will carry for the rest of his life.

I first heard the name Tim Michael on July 4, 1983 while attending helicopter flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama with Tim's brother, Mark.

The 4th of July festivities were in full swing for everyone except Mark. Hoping to cheer him up, I went to dinner with Mark that evening. He produced a photograph of his brother, Timothy Shawn Michael (right), sitting in a helicopter in Vietnam. The photo spoke volumes. Young and tired, 10-foot tall, rugged and bulletproof. The kind of pilot everyone at Fort Rucker wanted to become. I wanted to meet Tim and ask him all the questions a young man asks a veteran about war.


Mark told me Tim was killed on the 4th of July 1969 in Vietnam. I didn't need to ask Tim anything about war. I had an indelible answer to the age old question, "What is it like to be in a war?" A young man gets killed, his brother still feels the loss more than a decade later; a photo, distant memories and a name on a wall are all that remain.


The 4th of July hasn't been the same for me since that day. Tim's picture and Mark's anguish for his lost brother have visited me every year. I don't dread the visits. I think about the photographs I sent to my brother, posing in the same way, feeling like I imagine Tim did in 1969. I thank God my brother and I see each other every day at work. But the time we spend together on the 4th of July has a special meaning for me that I'll never tell him about.


Some day I'll visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I'll look for the only name I know on the massive piece of black granite and shed tears for a man I never met.


Stories like this one help us all to remember what a debt we owe to these heroes. That's why we are building the Education Center at The Wall across the street from the Memorial. With your support, this facility will be a place where future generations can discover these stories and honor the values that make this country so great.

Sincerely,


Jan C. Scruggs
Founder and President


P.S. Every year that passes since the Vietnam War makes it more challenging to help new generations understand those turbulent, traumatic times. It's also more challenging to keep the memories of fallen heroes alive.

That's why I'm hopeful that you'll give online so that these names will never be forgotten. Thank you for you commitment to VVMF's work that you make possible.
