Showcasing America's finest, and those who betray them!


Please click on the banner above and check out this newly created (and still under construction) website created by FReeper Coop!



Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization.





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

Thanks to quietolong for providing this link.



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.

Hi, Snippy.

These Rangers were well trained men. Preparation was very good. Radios were very poor, that was the technology then.

I differ here and there on tactics, but of course time was of the essence.

I think Colonel William O. Darby was more responsible than any other single man for the Rangers. Darby was killed two days before the German surrender while serving with the 10th Mountain Division. He was posthumously promoted to Brigadier General.

Not a bad SHORT WWII Ranger history before the Pointe du Hoc mission. Written by a knowledgable amateur. Might make a Foxhole with more pictures.

Good Ranger source. Written by a PhD historian, three strikes you're out, Hey? This PhD is an Airborne Ranger. Official Command and Staff, Ft. Leavenworth document.
