As usual, great pics!

Thank God for the POWs who have been returned, and prayers for the MIAs.

btw - that one painting in Hussein's palace looks like a Frazetta.

Sunday BUMP...

These missiles were found over a week ago down south. I dont know why they keep getting re-posted as a recent find.

Hosanna to the King!
He has answered our prayers
Let His anthem ring!"

A Hosanna for Shoshana

Seeing you again gives us such joy
Knowing your wounds will soon be repaired
When we saw you before
You were looking so scared

Your plight touched us deeply
Night and day so many prayed
And in our Father's tender mercy
He answered on this blessed Palm Sunday

Now we offer up our thanks
For you and your little ones
They're going to get their Mommy back
Soldier, your battle is finally done

I'd walk a mile for a camel...

I would say more likely it translates as "product of urgence", or in other words, hazardous material.

[Illbay]

I strongly disagree.

You aren't a "hero" just because you took a wrong turn and got captured by an enemy who otherwise has been as inept as any the US military has ever faced.

Now, if you want to show me conclusive proof that they did something SPECIFICALLY heroic, fine.

But reserve the term for those who deserve it.

show me conclusive proof that they did something SPECIFICALLY heroic, fine.

Those soldiers are deployed overseas to protect your right to post on FR from your sticky keyboard, son. They are ALL heroes in my book - God Bless them.

[Illbay]

Okay, okay, they're all "heroes" because they went in the first place, I'll buy that. But I continue to submit that the term is used far too loosely.

Oh, and FWIW: Remember that they were fighting for and under the flag of that hideous tyranny that you and your fellow-travelers believe needs to be overthrown so that "true freedom" can flourish in the South, or whatever.

Need to be sparing of your praise, I think.

[stainlessbanner]

Check out this thread.

Hits home pretty hard, doesn't it? Those are heroes and their brothers-in-arms who went to battle with them are heroes, too. Wrong turns are not heoric deeds, but fighting for the homeland, and facing the enemy shoulder to shoulder is heroic in my book.

In fact, some liberals ran to Canada to avoid war.....Definitely not heroic.

Silkworm [called a "cruise missile" by Rather

That's because it is a cruise missile. It flies aerodynamically, not ballistically. Notice the wings.

[Illbay]

A Silkworm is most definitely a cruise missile, specifically anti-ship, like the Exocet (which is air-launched rather than ground-launched like Silkworm).

[Illbay]

I cannot hold back the tears every time Fox News Channel posts the names and faces of those who gave the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

[boknows]

Maybe they keep getting posted so we can get responses like your's. That way maybe someone would have an occasion to zero in on your coordinates and point these things your way!

It's like the old videos and photos we keep seeing of Sodom. Just because he's been dead for 1-3 weeks doesn't mean he's no longer relevent.

[JustPiper]

It was James Riley's sister that died. Sad story indeed.

Thanx at the time there was so much confusion then I saw Mrs. Riley again.

Freed POW Ron Young...

"Then they returned...to go back...with joy, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies."
