Regarding P-38s, from a three-volume set on planes of the War, "Lockheed P-38 Lightning: This American fighter shot down more Japanese planes than any other. And in April, 1943, a Lightning shot down the plane carrying Admiral Yamamoto, the man who had planned the Pearl Harbor attack."

On the eve of Saddam-free in 2003, our thoughts, our prayers, and our flag flying 24/7 are for our troops, our veterans and their families.

Mohammad Atta met with Saddam's agents--payback's a bitch, and Saddam is about to discover that first-hand.

Swift victory and safe return to our men and women in the finest fighting force on earth.

Another great thread building the historic foundation for understanding America's success is in its valiant military.
