And then there is no news about my Brother in law and his platoon
being blown up by an enemy grenade Friday.
There are squirrels juggling knives in my head

I was just talking earlier about the rest of the story with some my crew.

What about the Ranger Bn that they were going in for?  Were they pulled out safely?  What about their losses?  Lets hear the whole story.

Condolances to you and the rest of his family.

Irrelevant information removed.

News wise, yes, it is irrelevant.  To him, his faith and his family were what were most important.  That is why I specified.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

^ Yeah that was my brother in law and you know as much as me.
Brother in law is in a coma with shrapnel in his head, and a bad prognosis.
He's a sniper with the 101st

I am an American Soldier

I am a warrior and a member of a team

I serve the people of the United States

I will always place the mission first

I will never accept defeat

I will never quit

I will never leave a fallen comrade

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and
proficient in my warrior tasks and drills

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself

I am an expert and a professional

I stand ready to deploy, engage and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life

I am an American Soldier





RIP Brothers
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

R.I.P. to these and every other fine American that has lost life or limb fighting for their country.  Always remember that not all of this country only cares about you when the media decides to report on your service, your sacrifice, your dedication, and your bravery. 

Our nation used to honor our soldiers all the time,  not just when it is politacally benificial and this sickens me.  Sadly I think this is also a view into our society's direction at the moment.

I will get off my soap box now and mourn for these fallen warriors and their families that are feeling pain and loss on a level most of us can't and won't ever understand.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

I'd like to pimp one of my favorite charities:  www.nmfa.org

They have a four star rating with Charity Navigator -- over 90% of all income goes to help military families, esp families where a service member has not come home.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
