Yes it would. Some tickets in her name BuMp...

Ping! And I think it'd be great if the Marines were willing to help out a fallen Cav trooper!

My son is the Marine in the family. My father served 27 1/2 years in the Navy. As you so aptly pointed out, I need only point him in the right direction.

I thought there was a fund set up to pay for the college tuition of children of our KIAs. Hannity is sponsoring a concert in July to raise money for the fund. I hope this family is aware of that fund.

This story reminds me of the song, "Ridin' with Private Malone". I still cry when I hear it. <a href="http://members.aol.com/cyberlyric/david.html>You can listen to the song here.</a>

". Tickets for those interested in a chance at the Harley are $25 and can be purchased at Earl Small's Harley-Davidson, 993 South Cobb Drive, Marietta, GA, 30060."

I'll let my biker friends know. I'm sure they'll buy their share.

Speaking of Marines Archy, there is an old Marine at my job. He is 63 years old, and eaten up with cancer. Although he has enough money to retire, and has tried to retire to Arkansas, he ends up working in our hot warehouse for the summer.

His name is Pridemore....say a prayer for him. God knows he's made of nothing but guts and blood. And I've told him.
