Michael Ramirez sure has a good way of saying things.

Thank You Phil for the account of the Battle of Takur Ghar. Men like these make me proud to call myself an American.

In the beginning there came a man to the world, a protector and savior of men. He spoke the language of many--mostly he spoke care and concern for his fellowmen. He was trained in the arts of war and killing. He was the ultimate warrior. One who stood among men not as a god or noble -- but as another man. Just a man. His exploits were far and many and many of his enemies he did kill -- always protecting his people and his land. He understood sacrifice and he offered his life to his country and its people. For him, life was hard and many scorned him as a killer. That was easier than trying to understand his dedication to his people. Women feared and loved him for his mysterious ways of seeing life. Nobles saw him as a lesser individual who didn't know that the real values in life were money and power. To them he was ingnorant. To his comrades he was a brother who understands all. To his family he was pride and honor. To himself he was a man of special dedication -- one who puts his country and his people before anything else in his life. God saw him as a son for He saw in the man sacrifice, love, and courage while he was scorned for his beliefs. Jesus saw him as a special brother and saves a special place in heaven for him. His enemies saw him as the reaper of death and they feared him. The warrior, the soldier, the Ranger, the soulchild who sits in the lap of the King Immortal Supreme. The blood from his body will always stain the earth. The earth will swallow his body and the sky will always offer her tears to his memory.

Dedicated to those who fought and died before me giving me the soil on which I stand and love and serve to defend. To those Rangers before me who have given honor and standards in courage to live up to. To those British Commandos who have taught my brothers during their conception. Oh God, I pray that I never fail myself. May my children never feel the hand of Communism that lurks as a shadow over the world.-----Author Unknown

The above was given to my husband when he was in 3/75.

They still show reruns here on PBS

[SAMWolf]

That's amazing. I would have never thought anyone would run Lawrence Welk shows.

[Valin]

Every Saturday night ch.17 6:00-7:00. I'm assuming they get it cheap.

[SAMWolf]

LOL The estate probably pays PBS to play it.

Can't close out the day without James Earl Rudder

I've got some patriotic balls for you. Sorry I'm late but, better late…

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for the link to Rudder's biography

[SAMWolf]

Darn I have a retractable antenna so I can't use antenna balls.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Aw, too bad. :-(

[SAMWolf]

I just wasn't gonna touch that one with a 10 foot pole

[Victoria Delsoul]

[SAMWolf]

Not even a 12 foot Hungarian.

[Victoria Delsoul]
