On the day America learns two of its troops were butchered by jihadi barbarians, CNN hypes a sycophant interview with Angelina Jolie, who proceeds to criticize this country for its priorities.

Meanwhile, do you know who David Babineau is?

Do you know how and why Joshua Gutierrez lost part of his leg?

Did you know there’s a memorial fund for Pvt. Tucker to help bring his body home?

A memorial fund in Thomas Tucker’s name has been established to help defray the cost of returning his body to Oregon.

To help, send a check or money order to Columbia River Bank, PO BOX 0, Madras Oregon, 97741.

The name on the account is The Bring Tommy Home Fund.

(Folks are asking why the family would set up such a fund when the government defrays such costs. According to press reports, a friend set up the fund. Here’s more info:

“The Madras Chamber of Commerce plans to dedicate its Fourth of July Celebration to Tucker.

Holli Van Wert said she and other volunteers are collecting dining coupons and food for the family and a fund has been set up to help with expenses (The Bring Tommy Home Fund, c/o Columbia River Bank, P.O. Box 0, Madras, OR 97741). “It’s just the way that we are here. We’re all connected on one level,” she said.”)

E.D. Hill gets it.

Priorities, people, priorities.
