To Those Tough Bastards

What are people saying?

   Indeed. We need to reflect on those who gave their lives so we could be free. “Tough Bastards” doesn’t scratch the surface in describing what those who gave their lives did for the rest of us.

   God Bless America.

   I’ve always meant to ask, why you remove the ‘o’ from the word God, I tried googling it but came up empty. Tx.

   Stephan, it’s a Jewish thing. This is probably more than you wanted to know, but…

   http://www.jewfaq.org/name.htm#Writing

   “Jews do not casually write any Name of God. …Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better. Normally, we avoid writing the Name by substituting letters or syllables, for example, writing “G-d” instead of “God.”

   It can’t hurt to pray for them.
