Thanks, that will be the best five minutes any of us spend today.

I do wish the NRA would open their eyes and realize how ashamed many of their Life Members are over their slobbering political support of Harry Reid, however.

My son and my cousin are Marines, now both inactive. They both fought in famous battles in Iraq. My cousin is alive because a Navy corpsman performed open chest surgery in combat firefight conditions to save my cousin’s life.

“That’s because he’s an American, and that’s what American’s do.”

The Marines kid their corpsmen unmercifully. But by gosh, don’t you give the corpsman a bad time. Or you’ll answer to a Marine. I don’t think you want to do that.

I forgot about you being there...thank you for that.
Yes, LTC North is every bit a heckuva guy.
