  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The sacrifice you've made.
When the call came,
You answered without regard.
Or, hesitation.
You knew the danger.
Maybe you even disagreed.
However, you went anyway.
Because it was your duty.
Willing to lay it down for a distant land.
Full of those that appreciate you.
And those that want you out.
Many of your brothers have died.

Whether you come home among us,
Or are carried in a pine box,
Rest assured you gave it all.
Many appreciate your sacrifice.
You've left a valuable legacy.
Or, you return having matured as a person.
Always remember that day you volunteered.
Now, you've answered your greatest call.
Defending those that can't defend themselves.

When you return,
Whether it be off a plane,
Or, enter the pearly gates,
Your reward is assured.
Open arms and encouraging words.
Well done My son, enter your rest.
A heroe's return.
