Great read today!
Another great read PING
bkwells : Thanks Chief
And yet, in every state in the union except LA, this man cannot legally buy a beer.
That makes me furious.
I was on an airplane recently, with a bunch of GI's.
"Where are y'all headed?"
"Iraq"
"Stewardess, set 'em up. Drinks are on me 'till we land."
"Sir, they are not twenty-one..."
"They are headed to Iraq. They are all 21 today."
Now that cost me a few hundred...LOL.
BTTT!!!!!!
"People ask me if it's worth being out here, and it is," said Pfc. Andrew Manzi, 19, from Waterford, Conn. "We are out here so our family can enjoy the Fourth of July the way it should be. That's really the only thing that keeps me going."
These very young heroes get it. Too bad many much older Americans don't.
I printed it out, and will include it in the "care" package we are posting tomorrow to our Marine Sergeant son, who is "over there".
I admit it's hard on me to hear of their suffering. I'm awed, every single day, by these marvelous young people.
Thanks for the ping!
God Bless our Troops and our Allies
When my brother's unit lost 3 of their own, he sent me this quote:
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - General George S. Patton, Jr.
May God watch over our soldiers.
Why can't the idiots like Michael Moore understand that???
You answered your own question Brian...cause Moore is an idiot.
Thanks for posting this story. I have to say I really wish we could just flatten Falluja. I know I keep reading about all the good our troops are doing and how appreciative the people in Iraq are but I just don't buy it yet. I just don't trust the lot of them.
What I really detest ??
"While Americans celebrated 228 years of freedom yesterday..."
Except for here in Hot Springs Arkansas where there was NO parade, there were NO flags flown (YES at my house!), there were NO bands, NOTHING in the newspaper.
I am sick of the people in this country who don't give a dammed - but I'll be damned if I EVER give one inch to these left-wing radical pieces of crap that call themselves lawyers, politicians, and judges!
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- Ronald Reagan
Please tell your son I said
"Thank You for your service to our country."
Thank You for flying your flag.
Will do!
He and his men get a kick out of reading about themselves ,but more it's messages like yours, and those of many others, that keep their spirits up.
Thank you again, and thank you for your service.

Thanks for the article.
Because idiots like Michael Moore and his moviedom Ilk, are users, abusers, and exploiters of this country. I have said this before-but I'll say it again! The Garbage bag trash of the wealthy beyond their worth left, love America like termites loves the house they feast upon or as maggots respect the corpse they devour for lunch.
My apologies to termites and maggots for this un-fair comparison.
