God Bless him for sure but what an terrible waste of a good and productive life. I'm so sorry he went back in again. Just so sorry.

I can tell you feel as I do, about this senseless waste of a human life.

Now multiply the feeling you have right now times 5000, and you realize the magnitude of the Moms and Dads who left behind 10,000 children due to a senseless murder by misguided fools.

Everytime I feel like this, I think I could lessen the anguish by just punching a "peacenik" in the mouth.

God Bless the American Heroes who were victims of this cowardly murder.

"I was wondering what Williams would have thought if he had known this man was one of the people he hated and called names in the 60's."

Pete?
Williams would've felt nothing.
Like all the other Liberals Williams shares that one common thread which runs through each & every single one: They're shameless.

Which explains their total, complete cowardice, IMO.

He died as he lived; a noble man.

The mere mention of the names Condit, Clinton, & Liebermann on the same page as this noble & righteous man?
Quite nearly besmerchs his memory.

Thanks for the ping. A wonderful and fitting tribute to "the bravest man I ever knew." Of course, I never knew him personally, but through the book, WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE, AND YOUNG, many of us came to know him, you and all the others.

Thanks for your service and the work you do here. God Bless you, and all of our military and their families, both retired and active. And may those who aren't here, Rest In Peace and watch over their colleagues in battle.

There is no way I am going to forget. You got that right. When Clinton entered the world of politics all the way back to Ark. America began to be wounded and that wound will never be healed. His crimes reach far and wide and Condit is playing the same corruption game that Clinton did.

The men of IA DRANG and Rick Rescorla they did not know the meaning of coward.

Thanks

I'd be curious to know what Bill Clinton knows that we don't know. Why is he so concerned about "the time not being right for investigating the past intelligence"? What's in it for him and Condit? Could it be that Hillary is the one directing the show right now? And to whom?

A Tower of Courage

"Everyone who met him said he touched their life in some special way. I knew if I only had five minutes with him it would be the best five minutes of my life.

He was my soulmate, my everything. We laughed and loved, danced and talked. We never tired of each other. Every day was a miracle." - Susan Rescorla - Wife

...I will NEVER FORGET the Honor of being Blessed to sit one table away from Mrs. SUSAN RESCORLA and her now Adult daughter at our IA DRANG Alumni Dinner in D.C. Area the evening before Veterans Day ...as we all honored the Heroism of one ..RICK RESCORLA.. that night.

Truly UNFORGETTABLE.

...Don't you dare let -The Enemy Within- CLINTONS who did THIS to them get away with THIS one.

Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green
Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped,
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers' Green.

Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.

Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene.
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen.
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers' Green.

And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers' Green.

[The origin and author of Fiddlers' Green is unkown. It was believed to have originated in the 1800's and was composed as a song sung by the soldiers of the 6th and 7th Cavalry. Its first known appearance in published form was in a 1923 Cavalry Journal.]
