ping of interest?
It is a sad time indeed when the media does all it can to malign, slander, and smear the people who give their lives for the freedoms behind which the press hides.
God is a righteous Judge. So I trust that when the great day comes, those who defiled the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom will receive what they so richly deserve.
To those in uniform: keep the faith. We love you!
