I salute you and thank you and all those who gave the ultimate price to keep our country safe.
Another soldier reminding us of the cost of freedom. I wonder if any of the lib rags will ever report on the, thankfully occasional now, sacrifices of our brave military personel, male & female, in over 130 countries around the world, not just Iraq!
She was first and foremost a Soldier. She served her country honorably, and did things most of us don't want to do. Seh deserves only respect, and her parent deserve only admiration. Thag's monitor is all blurry now.
One who gave the ultimate price PING
I too salute you, Pfc. Sam Huff, and thank you and all those who gave the ultimate price to keep our country safe.
Well, that's the reporter's fault, not PFC Huff's. God bless her family and all those who continue to serve after us.
The others who want to gripe about women in the military can go to France.
RIP Private First Class Sam Huff.
The lib rags and lib politicians will not until they no longer enjoy the freedoms that our troops are fighting for, then it will be too late.
"Robert Huff thought for a moment that he should have done more to dissuade her from military service. But then he realized she died doing something she loved, on her own terms."
A Salute to Pfv Sam Huff. We are all proud of you and what you have done for us. A debt that can never be repaid but will never be forgotten. RIP Pfc. Huff.
Seapartion is frequently painful, but the good news is she's now been promoted to be face to face with the Lord in his promoted ranks. We still have time in grade to serve.
It actually isn't as bad as some other articles I have read in the past few years when a female dies while in Iraq.
I just pointed it out so as not to have folks dwell on it .. that like you said her parents were proud and our country will forever be in her debt.
Thank you for the comment.
A fallen hero.
God bless her, her family and her comrades in arms.
As the big huskey sons of Mitt Romney and Phil Grahm watch it all on television. Eliminate the quota's and double standards that make these enlistments possible. Resume the draft.
No the draft would ruin the all volunteer Army. The Army today is much more efficient and motivated than the draftee Army from Vietnam on back to the Civil War. Not that they fight any better, but.....
God speed, Soldier...
Thank you , Sam...
The quote above is little more than drivel... I do not wish my daughters to be in combat, but women carry loads we can't, and put up with pain that would shrivel us men!.
Women can carry heavy loads, as well (water= 8.33 #/g)!
Bump.
Thanks to you all. God bless you, Sam. Your job is done. You are an inspiration to each of us.
I know I am probably going to sound like a broken record..but here I go..(again)
It takes guts to put on a uniform,
It takes guts to serve,
To those of you who have, and who are..
THANK YOU.
For such a young age, I applaud her.
