My day was sh!t. Couldn't a Communist or Islamofascist kill.

My luck might change tomorrow.

God Bless this generation of American fighting men.

Ben Stein has my admiration for the integrity he has so eloquently displayed. The corporal and his family have my unending admiration and support. The courage and dedication that they engender is always amazing. Thankfully, Ben was able to gift them with this little respit. It meant more to this family than most could know.

I belong to a support group that rallies for the troops twice a week. We were elated when one of the Marines we support, Lance Corporal Jason Bond, was given a surprise two week leave at Christmas. They tapped him on the shoulder while he was engaged in a firefight in Fallujah! The group took Jason, and two others that we know, Mike and Joe, out for dinner to "thank" them. Mike and Joe are redeploying currently. The wait staff, and other dinners were very appreciative of their service. Jason's and Mike's families participate in our rallies, and they couldn't have been more please. Jason's mom said that he was greated like a rock star at Los Angeles International Airport! People wanted to hug him, kiss or shake his hand, and that it really took him awhile to make his way through the well-wishers! This after the captain of the plane, announced to Jason's fellow passengers, who he was and what was happening. Although they pretty well knew it by now, since he was still in his Iraq dusted BDs, and they had been querying him. He was allowed to depart first, and the entire plane stood up to acknowledge him!!!!

It was, of course, sad to see him leave, but the bolstering that he was given by those who truely understand, will ease the hardships of war, just a bit.

God bless the troops, their families, and Ben Stein!

An E-4 over three makes $1787 a month plus $225 combat pay plus $100 hazardous duty pay +$267 BAS and at least $500 BAH (with dependents). This is not to dispute that he deserves more. I like Stein, but he needs a better fact checker.
For those that don't know 91B is the old MOS code for an Army medic and I am an OIF vet.

I said a prayer for John and his family and all the soldiers serving our country so we are safe & free!

God bless them all and keep them safe.

What did you do today?

Hugged my boys and husband, and will hug them a little tighter after reading this. Oh, and I'm wiping a tear from my eye now.

FNC is running a show tonight hosted by John Gibson that addresses the Hollywood bias. Ben is featured as a critic of his neighbors. Surely worth watching.

HOOOORA! Thank you soldier I salute you! Also, I am jealous you have an M240. The cycle rate on that baby is unreal!

The only good Islamofacist is a perforated one!
