Perry Awarding Iraqi Service Medals
Texas Marines
Gov. Rick Perry participates in ceremonies at Camp Mabry to redesignate the 49th Armored Division as the 36th Infantry Division. The former 49th Armored Division, which consists of approximately 12,000 soldiers, makes up almost two-thirds of the Texas National Guard. The division's redesignation as the 36th Infantry Division is part of the Texas Army National Guard's transition from a heavy armored force to a more versatile infantry force.

Thanks for posting this. I had been meaning to research Gov. Perry’s military record, but just been too busy. Good to know that he’s been in uniform - even if it was the wrong color. LOL
Semper Fi,
Even when traveling in comfort outside the U.S., you look forward to getting home.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad I did, just for that “thank you.”
Rick Perry knows about this side of the coin of freedom, and to me that is extremely important.
But, but, Obama “gave a speech” to some military people once or twice in the last couple of years, so nothing to see here, folks, move along. /sarc
RESEARCH!
That’s what we all need to do when we consider putting folks in charge of any governmental responsibility.

"He started screaming that we were on fire and that we were all going to die," Perry said. "The aircraft operated as advertised and flies amazingly well on three engines."
Yup...Perry is indistinguishable from Romney...
It’s ok... The Corps of Cadets turns out Marine Officers as well! Gig ‘em.
Somewhere in a Kinko’s in the dusty back roads of Texas, toils an old CBS anchor and a wayward assistant manufacturing ‘false but accurate’ military documents showing Perry did not serve in the Air Force. Courage.
I’m sure they’re huddling now — who will break the “news?”
Chis Matthews?
Personally I am still hoping Sarah will get in late summer early fall. But you are doing a nice job of promoting Perry, he is looking better all the time.
Flying C-130s, Perry lived in Germany and Saudi Arabia. He flew in Central and South America, North Africa and all over Europe.But he didn't fly in Vietnam. So who did he bribe?
(This post is a sarcastic attempt to anticipate what the Romneybots and other assorted leftwingers will say in response to Perry's military service.)
Thanks jpsb.
I’ve posted a lot of glowing thread on Sarah Palin too.
We need to look over the field and see what they’re made of.
With five years in service, what kind of retirement is it, was that just the writer’s mistake, or was Perry injured?
Well put.
Thanks, there was a whole lot there that I did not know about Perry.
I couldn't say.
