By the time the 761st got to France, in October 1944, Patton's 3rd Army was already on its way across France. General Patton, not originally fond of the idea of black armored units, welcomed the 761st with these remarks:


Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. pins Silver Star on Ernest A. Jenkins - Nat. Archives


“Men, you're the first Negro tankers to ever fight in the American Army. I would never have asked for you if you weren't good. I have nothing but the best in my Army. I don't care what color you are as long as you go up there and kill those Kraut sons of bitches. Everyone has their eyes on you and is expecting great things from you. Most of all, your race is looking forward to you. Don't let them down and damn you, don't let me down!"

Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.





Actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.




We here at Blue Stars For A Safe Return are working hard to honor all of our military, past and present, and their families. Inlcuding the veterans, and POW/MIA's. I feel that not enough is done to recognize the past efforts of the veterans, and remember those who have never been found.

I realized that our Veterans have no "official" seal, so we created one as part of that recognition. To see what it looks like and the Star that we have dedicated to you, the Veteran, please check out our site.

The 761st "Black Panther" Tank Battalion in World War II
by Joe W. Wilson, Jr.
McFarland & Company, 1999
reviewed by Michael Peck

McFarland did the Holzers' treason indictment of Ho Jane Binch:

Staff Sgt. Ruben Rivers received a
posthumous Medal of Honor Jan. 13, 1997

Senator Robert Byrd once wrote purple prose to the effect he would rather die than serve with a black G.I.

One can only imagine the tremendous turnout to watch him.

1983 President Reagan calls the USSR an "Evil Empire"

In today's devotional commentary:

To win the race, we must "lay aside every weight" that would drag us down and rob us of our strength and endurance (Hebrews 12:1). This weight may be an excessive desire for possessions, the captivating love of money, an endless pursuit of pleasure, slavery to sinful passions, or a burdensome legalism.

I posit the rulings of Judge Greer as such a burdensome legalism, moreover founded on such bearing of false witness that passeth understanding, leading like a chute to the slaughterhouse, ignoring that pesky retro cliche to wit "Thou Shalt Not Kill".

I invite you to take a moment to read the affidavit of Carla Iyer, R.N. regarding Michael Schiavo.

Our grandson has a feeding tube. Anyone attempting to remove it would be making, crediting Tom Clancy, a bad career move.

The PRC admits to 4,000 executions annually. A FReeper posted three photos of the PLA taking a bound woman from an army truck, to the edge of a ditch; the next photo her head is split as though a scene from Terminator 2.

We are allowed a feeling of security only because of our armed forces, and only as long as political will exists to support them.

Armed forces and political will can murder the innocent every second of every day, and if they do not, it is only because their area is illuminated from a higher location.

1934 Edwin Hubble photo shows as many galaxies as Milky Way has stars

Judge Greer, you are hereby ordered to remove your head from Uranus and transfer custody to the Schindlers.
