[Madame Dufarge]

Thanks for the ping.

I wish there were a way to give this a permanent BTTT.

[ride the whirlwind]

God bless the brave marine, Capt. Brian R. Chontosh. And all of our military men and women.

[BykrBayb]

I hadn't thought of Toby's song in that context before. Thanks for putting that image in my head. I like it.

Do you still think I'm crazy, standing here alone?.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Naaah.
You're not crazy.
And, I personally love the thought of that siong in that context.
Though I suppose the terror-boys would be somewhat mystified by it.
;-)

Welcome.

[BykrBayb]

Thanks for the ping. I needed to read something like this. Sometimes I wonder if our average soldiers (who are btw the best in the world) have any idea what they do for our morale. Even when they're not doing things as exraordinary as this, it's uplifting just to watch them work.

[TEXOKIE]

Thanks for the ping, HiJinx. I think you're right!

[TEXOKIE]

This is an official Prayer Warrior Field Trip Destination!

[celtic gal]

I get news from a retired Marine PAO..read this a few days ago and was so stoked! Passed it on to everyone in my addy book!
Semper Fi!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Our Fore Fathers could never have imagined that liberals ( critters not yet evolved in their time)would one day cause PRESS, as in free press, in only a couple of centries, to be interpreted as:

P-punks
R-resonating
E-enemy
S-sob
S-stories

This ain't our fore father's press.

[VOA]

Capt. Brian R. Chontosh got some more exposure today.
His story got read on The Hugh Hewitt Show today (www.hughhewitt.com).
So, his tale has been broadcast on a major Los Angeles radio station, Hewitt's affiliate
stations and live on the net.

[hummingbird]

That is one fine looking Marine.

Ummmmmmm....yes, yes he is...he should be a Freeper; we should try very, very, very hard to get him signed up. Yes... yes, we should that...

Just like "Ceegar Guy" belongs here....ummmmm, yes, just like "Ceegar Guy..." <8^)

[Bahbah]

You are on to something here, hehehe.

[hummingbird]

Fine looking...and courageous! "Hehehe" back atcha!

[tet68]

Outstanding!
Semper Fi MARINE!
In the best tradition of the Marine Corps!

[tet68]

War.

War it is, it's time to give them the antidote.

The problem of the liberals is that they have come to believe there is nothing worth going to war FOR.
The problem of the liberals is that they have forgotten
HOW to war.

We don't have those problems.
The problem we have is liberals.

[Colt .45]

He is carrying on a long and proud tradition of the fighting men of this country. If you will look back over all the wars we've engaged in where accurate records are kept, you'll find many examples of this selfless valor.

The question was posed in the article about "could you walk down this trench with 20 enemy set on killing you and do what he did?" I can answer that with a firm yes! If it comes down to me or them, I will walk away. And if I have any brothers in arms with me, the result is the same - WE will walk away and they will have to be carried off the field.

[fatima]

Our Troops bump.

[windchime]

Awesome story!

[ChefKeith]

This is great!

I'm just really glad He is on Our side.
