Austin Soldier Denied Burial Request

Posted by Robbie Cooper on May 31st, 2007 | Trackback

I think at a minimum the cemetery should ensure that at least one KIA Soldier from every war is honored by being buried in the Texas State Cemetery. At this time, none have been so recognized. The LaForest family’s request should have been honored.

If you’re not already a member of the PGR (our membership is currently at just over 95K members), but are looking for a way to actively support our troops and their families, please consider joining.

You just know that wherever he is right now, Sen. Barak Obama is laughing his ass off at how stupid Hillary is. And John Edwards is wondering how Hillary stole his super-duper-secret Economic Plan.

SPC Michael J. Jaurigue of Texas City, KIA

Posted by Robbie Cooper on May 29th, 2007 | Trackback

“Where do we find such men?” is a phrase I hear people frequently use when talking about the selfless and brave men that are willing to put their lives between the desolation of war and their loved ones back home. Watch this video interview with his mother and father. That his father was in the Marine Corps for 22 years goes a long way towards understanding where Michael learned his values.

There are thousands upon thousands of stories like the Golczynski family. But I think their’s does a commendable job of reminding us of what our soldiers fight for, and what they leave behind. And the incredible heroism and sacrifice made by all of them.

Posted by Robbie Cooper on May 26th, 2007 | Trackback

The truth is, Dems have no plans to fight anybody — especially not al Qaeda. And they have no plans for a “redeployment” of US Troops. If Obama had actually ever served in the Military, he’d know that what he’s really talking about is “withdrawal”.

The best part is that the editor/layout guy who posted this article at WFAA.com probably had dozens of pictures to choose from. And he chose this one — simply hilarious.

One of the most honest and critical posts I’ve read in regards to the findings comes from the most surprising of places — The Huffington Post. Ali Etera, a young American Muslim, has a must read piece on the story.
