Thank you Libertybelle for your sacrifice, you are as important as your warrior.

Each time I see something like this, it makes the return from Viet Nam seem just a little more distant.

MM, after your last one of these, I swore I would not look at another. It took me 45 minutes of replaying the last one to get my COFFEE to stop making my eyes WATER. So here I sit 2 days after you posted this one, and DAMNED if my COFFEE isn’t doing it again.

May God bless all our troops!

And I will never forget their sacrifices and always honor them. They are and always have been a force for good against evil, when you get down to it. Others may poo-poo the idea of evil but I know it’s real, and so do they. Those people who poo-poo it have their heads in the sand or perhaps in another place and really do not deserve the freedoms they enjoy – but the military provides it to them anyway so they can be fools without a care.

Saw this on the news, it’s a wonderful story but waiting to see it on Olberdork’s show.

Yesterday (Friday) I did a Patriot Guard mission for the services of CWO Michael Lynch, an Army reservist and a deputy with the Salt Lake City Sheriff’s office. Sad and tearful as all funerals are.

Early this morning at midnight I was standing in the flag line again with the PGR for an hour and a half, this time for the arrival of returning Airmen from Iraq to Hill AFB. Before the plane arrived, the CO wanted all of the new mothers to be the first ones up front. When the plane taxied in, the big hangar doors opened and a huge wall of families with ballons, banners and flags came out. I was tearful again, but boy was I smiling!

It really is different to be there and witness families hugging each other again, compared to seeing it on TV. I wish all PGR missions were like this.

I already know that I’m going to blubber like a baby twice….. when my son leaves for Iraq soon and when he returns. God bless and keep safe all who serve, served or are now in God’s heavenly care. Semper Fi!

Nothing like the joy of being reunited with your loved ones after a long deployment. I remember it well my wife told me my son would be excited all the way to the squadron or aircraft when he was little guy until he saw me and remembered he was mad at me for being gone. At least I always got a hug a little later when he finally forgave me.

This generation of heroes continues to serve their country with honor, dedication, and uncommon valor overseas. When they get to come back home they finally get to spend some valuable time with the reason they serve.

Amen to the above comments of supporting our troops. I’d also like to thank Pat Dollard and other bloggers that help to spread the true story of what the troops are accomplishing over here! Unfortunately, I cannot get to Pat Dollard’s website (or to Hot Air, for that matter) due to administrative restrictions on sites with streaming media.

Pat was embedded with my old unit (3rd Bn 7th Marines) in Ramadi, Iraq before I retired and would join units going on patrol all of the time. We used to joke that Pat was a magnet for contact because every patrol he joined would become engaged in contact with the enemy. His efforts to get the story are truly appreciated!

If anyone can call that man a cold hearted killing machine that has no feelings other than a lust for death that person is not human – or is a far out liberal-progressive.

This is my first time experiencing a deployment – by that I mean my boyfriend deployed almost three weeks ago. His tour is ten months, and I’m already counting the days. It has been ironic, or maybe not, that his bravery has made me so much stronger in the face of the liberals that surround me daily. Each of those soldiers gives us all a strength to fight for what is right. God Bless them all, and keep them in your prayers.

Damn,
there isn’t much that makes my eyes water up, but this did. And other stories like it do. We should see many more of them as they are all really heroes. The ones that serve and the families that support them.

God bless this man and his family and all of our fine military. They deserve out total support. What a fine bunch of Americans!

You may sensor this next comment–but God Damn the Democrats and the people that want to see the country fail. God Damn Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary and Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry and John Murtha and Dickie Durban and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Damn them all!

Now I am starting to sound like Reverend Wright! Except I don’t “God Damn America.”

In spite of the failings of Bush, he stands head and shoulders above any of the above mentioned demorats.

Thanks again to our military and families. Gotta love them!
