"He's gone through eight legs because he's so difficult and demanding on that artificial leg," Lynch said. "I've got to tell you, I'm inspired by him as an individual and I'm inspired by him as a soldier."

I humbly, gratefully take my hat off to this heroic soldier. You can bet he won't hear a word of praise from the liberals, nor will they hold him up as an example to other young Americans.
God Bless our troops for their dedication to our country.
HOO-AH
PING!
Want to show your support for our guys and gals on the frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Go to www.anysoldier.com and get addresses to which you can send care packages.
America's best are asking for snack foods, books, CDs, DVDs, personal hygiene items, magazines, etc.
Go to the post office and pick up one of the flat-rate boxes or go to www.usps.com and request that the boxes be sent to you. They're free! Be sure to order the customs forms as well. The postage only costs $8.10 to ship a box of goodies to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Chaplains and commanders have said that getting these packages is an incredible morale boost for our troops.
It is deeply moving to know that men like Cpl. Fields are doing what they do to protect our country and all of us.
Thank you, Cpl. Fields.
That would be three miles in 21 minutes or faster then my fastest time ever.... I'm impressed.
God Love our brave troops...
How cool is that, huh. Coincidentily, just yesterday Carl Brashear died age 75 and today we have his inspirational replacement.
For those unfamiliar with Carl Brashear, the movie "Men of Honor" starring Cuba Gooding jr and Robert DeNiro, Carl's fight to return to active dive duty striving to attain Master Diver after a shipboard accident left him with one leg amputated.
