Speaking of fallen heroes, here in Vermont, we will be dedicating a Memorial to the fallen heroes from the Vt National Guard in a few weeks.

I have nothing personal to do with this, other than as a Nam Vet, I felt compelled to donate in order to help honor fallen comrades and brother in arms.

That and the fact that my neighbor (a really super nice guy) is the highest ranking NCO in the guards and who recently returned from his 2nd tour in Afganistan.

If anyone wants to check this out, here is the site:

THE VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD FALLEN HEROES MEMORIAL

PS As a Freeper (and Vermonter) I apologize in advance for anyone who visits for having to suffer thru an Intro by our own, Senator Patrick (Far Left, Socialist, Media Whore, Gassbag) Leahy.

John Wort Hannam, a Canadian folk singer who is great, has a song called, “Infantryman” about a Canadian soldier coming home draped in the maple leaf.

Listening to it now...with tears in my eyes.

May God bless them and keep them, and may He comfort their courageous families. We will never forget those who have sacrificed to keep us safe and free.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

From "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon
