Thank You Troops! - Monday, May 31st, 2010

“I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free, And I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.”     -Lee Greenwood

Thank you to all of our troops (and their families) who have made, and to those who continue to make great sacrifices to keep American safe and free.  We do appreciate you more then you can imagine. 

The good our Armed Forces do for the world is far too great to measure.  There is no one I admire more than a soldier in our Armed Forces.  

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”                           — John Stuart Mill

Here’s a cool story that was sent from a friend serving in Afghanistan.  Go USA!

“One Marine”

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune say, ”One Marine is better than ten Taliban.”The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.The voice then calls out, “One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban soldiers.”Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The Marine voice calls out, “One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban.” The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them over the dune. Cannon, rocket, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge battle is fought.. Then silence. Finally one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, ”Don’t send any more men, it’s a trap. There are two of them.”
