   Marine Corpsmen Sgt. Randy Kowski and Lance Cpl. Adam Wentzell celebrate their pride by holding up a Marine Corps banner during a soccer game at RFK stadium in Washington June 19 as part of Armed Forces Appreciation Day. 
 
 Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Briscoe said it for everyone present: "There's definitely no place like America - We have freedoms here that I think a lot of Americans take for granted -- soldiers that are coming back from Iraq realize that those freedoms are definitely worth fighting for."

There is an effort underway to honor a young man on Wednesday this coming week for collecting toys and sporting goods for the Iraqi Kids.

This young man is 11 years old, and on his own, collected a half a tractor trailer truck full of toys.

That is the old news.

There is a new toy drive, and might be national, based on the efforts of this young man.

Keep listening to talk radio.

Afternoon Talk Radio.

That is not confirmned yet, but that is enough of the rumor I can reveal.

Ok, It's not a rumor. But, that's all I can reveal.

:)

Marine Corpsmen Sgt. Randy Kowski and Lance Cpl. Adam Wentzell

Marine CORPSMEN ??? I know Marines love 'em, but I'm sure the corpsmen would rather stay in the U.S. Navy!
