But with Obama it’s more than simply his unfamiliarity with the military. It’s that he despises them and what they do. And, in this instance, it’s just another example of how little he thinks of America (as it is — though he has grand plans to change our great Nation [into something less great]).
If I’d known about this earlier, I definitely would have attended, as I rode with the PGR to honor all three of these American heroes and each of them holds a very special place in my memories.
A big hearty Hoo-rah! and a sharp salute of respect from this old Veteran to you, Mr. McGhee. And thanks.
Uh huh. Film critics who have never been any closer to combat than accidentally driving through Compton on their way to somewhere else think the film is authentic. Based on what, I have to ask?
Gonna be a long, emotional day today with two Austin-area Patriot Guard Rider missions to attend. Since they both start at the same time, I’m going to stand the flag line for the beginning of the first funeral service, and then ride over in time to ride in the escort mission from Austin t0 the Central Texas State Veteran’s Cemetery in Killeen for the second mission of the day.
It will be an honor to ride with my fellow PGR riders and to stand to honor Mr. Hunter, who has spent nearly his entire life in service to his country.
Most will remember Haig as the Former Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan. But I remember him more for being a hero, a patriot, and a highly decorated combat-proven Soldier.
What a perfect example of the difference between us and them (and by ‘them’ I mean militant Islamists) with regards to human life.
Favorite image of the day (sent to me by a retired Navy Chief that I work with:
There are no rules or traditions involved in the wearing of these hero bracelets. They can be worn as memorial bracelets (I wear one for Sgt. Michael T. Crockett, KIA 7/14/03 in Baghdad), or they can be worn to honor deployed sons, daughters, husbands, and wives.
Biden and Obama should be be prosecuted under the Stolen Valor act for claiming any role in military victory in Iraq.
What an abysmal embarrassment. God forbid Obama actually ever needs one of those corpse-men that he so disdains to save his life.
It’s hard to believe that entire generation of heroes will soon be gone, and there won’t be a single person left to retell what it was like to actually be there. But for today, we still have Mr. Buckles here to honor.
My good buddy the Marine sent me a long and humorous list of bumper stickers “seen on a Marine Corps base.”
