Thanks, Mac, for spinning tunes for the troops. ((HUGS))

Love the Singing Sergeants! I’ve seen them here at several 4th of July picnics, with the Air Force’s Band of The Pacific - Alaska.

But......

The Band of the Pacific — Alaska’s only Air Force band — first formed in 1941 and officially designated in 1943, has been deactivated due to budget cuts, June 3, 2013, and their members reassigned across the U.S. The Band of the Pacific is/was a unit existing in three parts in Alaska, Japan and Hawaii. d:o(

To: Kathy in Alaska
Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

The weekend has finally arrived and I find myself with a task list that rolls like a carpet out the front door.

It is indeed sad to see that so many of the programs of our Armed Forces that enrich the lives of our citizens are being curtailed under the mantra of reducing expenses. I think this is entirely unnecessary, but will not dwell on it.

Our men and women in uniform give unstintingly of their talents, their generosity, and their valor in ways that touch us all in more ways than we know.

The trio of young Marines whose passing I acknowledged earlier this evening gave everything they had, up to and including their very lives, for what they and we believe in - Freedom, our God-given Rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

They and their example live in and resound in us - but we must pass it to the coming generation or all will be lost.

I don't have that much time left, but I swear before God Almighty that I will stand for the USA and for the values conferred upon me by generations of Patriots, for as long as I draw breath!



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
