I will have to be there in spirit. A very close friend of the family passed away today. He was 83. He was an Irish immigrant , served in the 10th Mountain Division,1943, fought the Nazi’s on skis in the Italian Alps. Later he became a NYC Firefighter. An American hero!
Please give a thought and a prayer to Martin’ Marty’ Ford. He always remained loyal to our troops as it should be.

My hearts are with you all at this very important GOE. Kristinn keep up the great work.

Was that “Marty” who was a regular caller to Sean Hannity’s program? If it was, I heard him many times. Condolences to all Marty’s family and friends. Another true American hero gone

Thanks for the ping, mountainflower. I’ll be at the Women of Faith Convention here in Philadelphia this evening and all day tomorrow. I’ll be sure to pass the GOE news around to everyone I meet. We will keep you all in our prayers and give thanks that you are speaking for us.

I’ll be watching for photos.

God Bless all the Eagles!!!!! I’m going to put my armband on my jean jacket!

So sad to lose another hero. Prayers for Marty and many thanks for his service. Hope he knew how much people like him are appreciated.
