You know I've only seen a woodpecker once in my life.

He was a noisy fellow! LOL

J'ai combattu le bon combat.
J'ai achevé ma course.
J'ai gardé la foi.

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!

I worry about when the town fills up with people and him chasing cars. Tasha did that also. We have 2 different types of woodpeckers that I have seen up here so far. Most locals do not like them, I do they eat the bugs.

Hiya Navy Bro!

Rainy and 60ish here in the Looney state!

Sonboy and I are heading out trout fishing this weekend, watch some baseball and pay our respects to the Fallen Monday at the local National Guard Armory ceremony.

I hope the weather cooperates!

Kevin T. Preach’s shyness didn’t define him.

“He was quiet at first, but that is not at all who he was,” said Dan Linehan, who met Preach in middle school. “He was outgoing, friendly. He was a very, very unselfish kid. He just wanted to be in the Marines to show that he could do something to help.”

Preach, 21, of Bridgewater, Mass., died Feb. 7 [2009] from wounds suffered Jan. 24 while supporting combat operations in Farah province. He was a 2007 high school graduate and was assigned to Camp Lejeune.

Preach’s family and friends said he always wanted to be a Marine since he was a young child, perhaps because his father had been one as well.

“He knew what it entailed, and he never complained or talked about how dangerous it was,” said Brianna Kelliher, Preach’s girlfriend. “He once said that he wasn’t afraid to die, he was just afraid of what it would do to all the people around him.”

He also is survived by his mother, Laurie.

“He was the funniest person I have ever met,” said Kelliher. “He would always make sure that everyone around him was comfortable, so he would always tell jokes.”

Forgot to mention in that last post that he was a Lance Corporal in the USMC - 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force.

Rest in Peace, Fallen Brother!
