Continue readingI always have a difficult time on Veterans’ Day, trying to figure out what to say. Words seem very inadequate to the task of thanking those who have given so much to defend the freedoms that we often take for granted. My mind becomes a kalaidoscopic jumble of images —
Continue readingI saw a headline at Drudge, to the effect that there is a photo of Afghan “insurgents” with U.S. ammo. The story, although I’m sure it’s interesting, interested me less than that word “insurgent.” We’ve all talked about the fact that “insurgent” a word that allows a politically correct, liberal

The Marines themselves have produced an excellent video celebrating their own history and the brave men and women who serve: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Bicfc9dp0[/youtube] It’s fitting, somehow, that the birthday of the Marine Corps, which has given so much to our nation,

Private Joe Foster, though, is still ready to do his job, as he did at the time of the shooting, and that despite a bullet strike on his femur.

Do any of you
