National Defense Authorization Act:US military can imprison civilians w/o charges

Either Monday or Tuesday the Senate will vote on a bill that allows the US military to imprison civilians with no formal charges and hold them with no trial.
The ACLU reports even US citizens wouldn't be immune as the legislation aims to declare national territory part of the "battlefield" in the War on Terror.
Termed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and drafted behind closed doors by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) the NDAA would:
1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;
(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and
(3) Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

Today is Veteran's Day
I just wanted to say,
Thank You!
Thank you for everything!
Because of your duty,
Because of your commitment,
Because of your sacrifices,
I remain free.
My prayer is that every time
Our young pass a cemetery,
Every time they salute a flag,
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance,
They will remember, you.
You, our Veterans
You, the Men and Women
Who gave up so much
So we could have what God intended for all,
Our freedom
God bless the Veterans and their families.

Serendipity
Brilliant rainbows with vast hues cover the whole sky.
Deer jump across the highway showing off their grace.
Smiles you received, for the first time, from your new baby.
You saw the biggest, most beautiful harvest moon.
Joy of hearing a voice you haven't heard in years.
You find your wedding ring you thought you lost years ago.
The doctor was happy to report that it isn't cancer.
Buzzed you have been by a hummingbird.
Cup of coffee is brought to you just when you received bad news.
Your guy, who you absolutely love, asked you to marry him.
A grandchild says your funny!
You have been blessed!
