Seems to me that yesterday a lot of brave folks moved to the sound of fire.

The Left likes to pretend that all people are just simply equal.
In truth, some folks are just better than the average bear. And these are the sorts of people who are being punished by the Obama regime.

Has to be the first post ever on here from Mother Jones without a ‘barf alert’.

Being from Mother Jones, I’m surprised they didn’t start the conspiracy the soldiers planted the bombs and that is how they carried them in.
This is surprisingly pleasant for that source.

I noticed them there in the live coverage yesterday.
But to be honest I thought they were Massachusetts National Guard there to supplement the Boston PD (the Marathon is a huge international event).
That is some story!!

Yea, saw them run in and tear the barricade apart.
Excellent soldiering. Kept their cool. Assessed goals and acted quickly. Their families certainly are deservedly proud.

Carlos_Arredondo has quite a story. He actually was holding an artery of the man in the wheelchair when they were rushing to an ambulance.
From Wikipedia link above
.."On 15th September, 2007, Arredondo was beaten by eight members of the Gathering of Eagles, a right-wing group during an anti-war march in Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C.. He was at his truck, which is his memorial to his son, Alexander. A group of Iraq war veterans and Veterans for Peace protected Arredondo. The attack was reputedly a result of Arredondo holding the American flag upside down.
Any truth to this? I looked in FR search and found no mention of this
