Happy 235th Birthday, US Army

Two hundred and thirty-five years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep commitment to our core values and beliefs. This 235th birthday commemorates America’s Army – Soldiers, Families and Civilians – who are achieving a level of excellence that is truly Army Strong. Being Army Strong goes beyond physical endurance and mental preparedness. It encompasses an indomitable spirit, and high ethical and moral values. These are not only desirable traits in a person, but in a Nation that wishes to live up to the ideals and vision of its founders. We are “America’s Army: The Strength of the Nation."

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sr. Airman Benjamin D. White, USAF, KIA Afghanistan 9JUN2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Hiya Teenie!

Unfortunately I'm not old enough to retire, yet, in fact I can't afford to retire yet..LOL!

Hot weather your way, huh; it cooled down into the mid 70's here.

It was much fun! All the food was a plus, too!

Since you opened the door, I just posted the Gold Star Flag without scaling, which means that everyone will be able to read the text. Thanks very much. :)

Yep, it’s HOT. Right now out there it is 97’ and no breeze :(.

LOL...seriously, though, we get high 90's here in the dog days of summer and without a breeze it is unbearable!!

Got air-conditioning, I imagine?!

I lived in Lancaster, CA for a year in 1959 and every house had a swamp cooler on the roof.

I'm honored to meet someone with such a low enlistment number!

Yeah, I'm so old we used to have rock fights with the enemy!
