Sorry for the presentation of this post, but haven't been feeling well and don't feel much like typing. You can read Sgt. Crisostomo's story here and here.

A Tattered and Torn Country...

Story via Washington Times

One man touring the Capitol with his sons told The Times that the damaged flag he saw on top of the Rayburn building sends the message of "a tattered and torn country, which, you know, has a bit of truth to it presently as well, but I think we should improve our image."

I have to agree. read the story at the times...it seems a direct reflection of exactly what our gov't thinks of our great country...or maybe what the result of their "progress" generates.

A tattered and torn country.

Lt. John Madea holds his daughter as she is baptized with holy water from the ship's bell of the amphibious dock landing ship USS Tortuga (LSD 46). This is the fourth person baptized aboard Tortuga since the ship's christening in 1988, and her name will be inscribed inside the bell as a tradition of the U.S. Navy.

Due Respect Given to a true Hero: SFC Monti

H/T: Petey
And to BlackFive

SFC Monti was serving with a Cav Squadron in the 10th Moutain Div.
I don't know if you was a Cav Scout, and i really don't care. What matters is the man is a Hero.
May I have the provelege of sharing a drink with you at Fiddler's Green Brother.

The video is roughly 20 minutes long. Take the time. The tribute to a one in a million hero is worth 20 minutes of your time. If not, you're part of the problem.



And a hearty HUZZAH to SFC Jared Monti!

Scouts Out!

A bit of introspection...

I received this in an email today. Makes you wonder...

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America..." so starts the Pledge of Allegiance. Just now, without thinking about it, most of you finished that sentence with "and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." I know that the words are ingrained in my head as I, like most of you, was required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each morning in school. At the time, the words weren't that meaningful and it was more of a routine than anything. As I grew older, I realized the true meaning of the words I had been saying for all those years and have sworn my pledge of allegiance to our country with heartfelt pride every since.

The requirement to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools is routinely criticized and legally challenged. The courts have time and again ruled that students do not have to recite the pledge in public schools nor will they be punished for not doing so. On September 14, Fox News reported that various First Amendment advocates are arguing that educators should be compelled to inform children that the decision to recite the Pledge of Allegiance is entirely up to them. Really? Well, I hope these same First Amendment advocates realize that the decision to live in this country is entirely up to them too. Foreign nationals are required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in order to complete the naturalization process to become U.S Citizens and yet people that are born here are fighting to not have to say it? What is that old saying?
Oh yeah....USA Love It or Leave It.

Well said Mac.

Always Remember...

...Never forget.

Today we honor the souls who left us 8 years ago today.



We may no longer be officially at war with Terror, but they have not given up their war on us.

Let us not let people who left us 8 years ago be forgotten, or the sacrifices our people, military, civilian, firefighters, and law enforcement have been in vain.

This is one patriot that will never forget.

Die with your boots on....

This would have been with last weeks post, but Kathi, who's done these for the past three years without even being asked to do so, was super busy and wasn't able to get to it. So after you view it, head over to her site and thank her.

All Saints Day Oct. 30th

I am a HUGE fan of the original Boondock Saints. I'm not expecting this to be as good, but hey, what the heck? I'm definitely planning on seeing this anyway...

A trailer for your viewing pleasure.

This can't be good...

North Korea, with the help of Russian scientists, is developing an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bomb that sends out an electromagnetic field when it explodes and damages electronic devices in the vicinity of the explosion, JoongAng Ilbo reported Sept. 2, citing a South Korean military source. The source said the North Koreans might be near completion on the creation of EMP bombs.

. . . it is a virus and a nasty one too. It can even appear to come from your own e-mail address -- mine did. Delete it immediately. I sent this warning out to my own list and I might as well post it here too.

These people are despicable.

Wednesday Hero Blogroll

Well, as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short...even when i shoulda been on time! lol.
Today is wednesday right?....ah well...here's the 3 year anniversary post...


Today marks the third anniversary of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. Not the actual Wednesday Hero posts. Those posts were started in 2005. This marks the third year of when these posts went public for anyone to post them. And it's taken off like gangbusters. People have signed up and wanted to take part in honoring those who do what they do in the name of freedom. At one point reaching over 100 participating sites. Thank you all who have signed up and those of you who read and comment on these posts. These people, whether they're actually in the military or are just doing something to aid those in the military, deserve to be remembered.
