The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN and are proud to serve our country.

I have that picture taped to the side of my terminal here at work in Rockafeller Plaza. Three years ago I worked downtown. This NYer will never forget.

God Bless them

Thank you, dear Howlin.

Awesome.

[Howlin]

Your link there isn't working. It's giving off a security box.......I have asked the Admin Moderator to remove it.

Evidently it's the sign in for YOUR mail account!

[Carolinamom]

Bless you for this ping, Howlin. And Giant Blessings for these troops. I want a poster of that picture.

[Jackie-O]

Thanks...I had a feeling that it was going to happen even tho I could see it here.

[Lady Jag]

Amen!

[olde north church]

Neither will this NJer. I was able to see the smoke rise into the sky from my back patio.
These so-called "Jersey Girls" make me want to vomit. I'm ready to pass around the hat to get these women deported to Massachusetts.
It also disgusts me the video of the planes crashing into the towers every morning just as an antidote to what the Global Left is trying to revise what really happened. Oh, yeah, I also make it a point to make sure everyone knows the piece of "debris" that hit and killed the firehouse chaplain as he gave last rites to a victim was a human being.

[presidio9]

the firehouse chaplain

Do you mean Mychal Judge? The brave man who's name the buttsex crowd is trying to kidnap into cause as "The First Gay Saint" (even though Judge kept his private life to himself and, by accounts, kept his vow of chastity)? The left believes that it is only ok to politicize tragedies when it is to their benefit. And then they are shameless about doing so.

In the months after 9/11, there were thousands of funerals for vicitms among Hillary Clinton's NY constituency. Senator Clinton attended exactly one. Yep, you guessed it: Fr. Judge's.

[RightWingMama]

Thanks.

[Mr. Silverback]

Just a quick note: This picture is real, and was taken on 9 September of last year. Snopes.com article.

[Camachee]

Our U.S. warriors make me so proud!

[RoseofTexas]

This would make a wonderful framed picture! God bless our BRAVE and HONORABLE soldiers!! We'll NEVER ever forget!!

[olde north church]

It figures. These are the people who squeal about privacy and personal lives as long as it suits their agenda. Like when Queer Nation or Lambda or whoever it is that was "outting people" who preferred to keep their personal lives private.
Back to point, I wasn't aware of that part of his life and it really doesn't amount to a bag of lightning bug guts to me. My point was more related to the insensitivity of referring to a human being as debris in order to save the comfort of those who refuse to accept what really happened.
It's sort of like referring to the people who were KILLED that day as VICTIMS and not CASUALTIES

[January24th]

*Snif!* How beautiful... makes me proud and humble all at once. Thanks.

[presidio9]

I worked down there myself. I lost many friends and two family members. I am disgusted by the blatant politization on the part of the left. None of the widows I know is happy about it either. In a pool of thousands of widows, you are bound to find a few hard-core liberals. Especially among NJ residents. That's what's going on here. The majority of the 911 victims were Republicans, because people in the financial industry tend to be Republicans.

NY-are stuff gets set up from time to time. The last one I can remember was a "Holiday" Party held in Connelley's by Grand Central. I did not attend because I don't go to "Holiday" parties. I say Happy Chanuka to my Jewish friends and Merry Christmas to my Christian ones, and among my friends, I take the time to know the difference. If you are interested in setting something up, I'd definitely be interested in attending, but organizing is tough for me to do becuase my firewall prevents me from sending or receiving FReepmail.

[firewalk]

Thanks Howlin

Sending out a link to everyone I can think of...

This is front page, magazine cover material!

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

This is SO COOL..

You've got to check this out!

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thank you both. In return, I wish we could line up and say We Remember Our Troops or Thank You for Defending Us!

God bless them all.

[GummyIII]

Thanks, Kim...this brought tears to my eyes.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thanks for the ping, Howlin. This is going on the bullentin board tomorrow!

[BigSkyFreeper]

WOW!....Damn....Makes me real proud of my cousin Jana, she was serving during the initial phase of the Iraq War over a year ago. She may be a "diminuative" 4'11" tall, but she's a big hero in our family.

[BigSkyFreeper]

We could somehow collect a collage of our faces, and have those words in the picture somewhere. I'm sure someone who's a Photoshop ace could do it.

[Bahbah]

Choked up.

[nutmeg]

That's an amazing photo, Howlin... thanks for the ping! I swear I saw that photo posted on FR over a year ago though...(?)

[A CA Guy]

Wow, I passed that on, thanks.

[windchime]

Awesome! Thanks, Howlin.
