Sgt. John Dalton met Pastor Fannin at a funeral in Eaton, OH. John will be going back to Iraq soon. Pastor thanked him for his service to the country and what can be done for the troops. John emailed this message:

HELLO PASTOR

THIS IS SGT JOHN DALTON, THANK YOU FOR REPLYING BACK. OUR SOLDIERS LIKE: CROSS WORD BOOKS, PLAYING CARDS, SNACKS, SNACK CAKES, POP ICE (DIFFERENT FLAVORS), CANNED FRUIT, LETTERS, PICTURES, THE 8OZ CANS OF SODA (SODA OVER THERE TASTE LIKE WATER), SMALL CANS OF FOLDGERS COFFEE, DRINK MIXES PACKS, POP TARTS, OAT MEAL PACKS.

THIS IS THE MAIN LIST WE USE OVER THERE, BUT THE LIST COULD KEEP GOING...YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT EVERYTHING TASTE LIKE OVER THERE. BUT WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO AND EVERYONE ONE ELSE SO MUCH.

Note: Sgt. John Dalton’s bumper sticker says “Part of my heart is in Iraq.” Let’s do what we can to show our appreciation for all the sacrifice that our soldiers are making. We need enough material to send a package at the end of September. See the sign-up list.

McDonald's have sent 56 employees to San Diego earlier to attend a conference that promotes homosexuality within the company. The Pioneer Summit, created and organized by McDonald's, addressed topics such as how to protect employees’ “gender identity and expression” and how to handle “transitions” among employees. The fast-food giant has given $15,000 into this week's Out & Equal Workplace Summit, and also supported San Francisco’ gay-pride parade.

This is sad that a fun family restaurant that caters to children now caters to those who have the propensity to take advantage of children. It shows how strong the homosexual influence has grown in the last decade. The American Family Association (AFA) is boycotting McDonald’s.
