The first Moore County Precinct Officer Quarterly Meeting was held on Sunday, Oct 4, 2009, at 5 PM at the Pinehurst Members Club. The Chairman of the NC Republican Party, Tom Fetzer, has attended and addressed our group and answered questions. Tom is an inspiring speaker and is implementing aggressive victory plans. Sixteen precincts were represented. About 50 people attended the meeting.
Looking ahead, our next meeting will be held in another part of Moore County in early January 2010. Any suggestions you may have for that location and discussion topics will be addressed and is welcome. We hope to see you there with a huge precinct turnout. You won't be disappointed!
Bill Thurman, Vice Chair, Moore County GOP
WHEN THE
MUSIC
STOPPED
For those who are not aware: At all military base theaters, the National Anthem is played before the movie begins.
Now, what would
happen if this
occurred with 1,000
18-22 year-olds back
in the States? I
imagine there would
be hoots, catcalls,
laughter, a few rude
comments, and
everyone would sit
down and yell for
the movie to begin.
Of course, that is,
if they had stood
for the National
Anthem in the first
place.
Here in Iraq , 1,000
Soldiers continued
to stand at
attention, eyes
fixed forward. The
music started again
and the Soldiers
continued to quietly
stand at attention.
But again, at the
same point, the
music stopped. What
would you expect
1000 Soldiers
standing at
attention to do??
Frankly, I expected
some laughter, and
everyone would
eventually sit down
and wait for the
movie to start.
But No!!... You could have heard a pin drop, while every Soldier continued to stand at attention. Suddenly, there was a lone voice from the front of the auditorium, then a dozen voices, and soon the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off: "And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
Thanks, Joan Thurman
