Please indulge me, my Friends and Brothers and Sisters in Arms – I've been trying to update this graphic which I periodically post on the FR Canteen, but every time I make a change some new enormity arises. Last week, our WWII Veterans were denied entry to their own Memorial – in the last twenty-four hours, our most recent Fallen have been denied their death benefits by this most craven and evil of Regimes.

During my tour in Vietnam, we left no man behind. On occasion, we lost men retrieving the Fallen. This Regime has no more regard for our Military than they would for a bug hovering over their Chateaubriand. They must be defeated – they must be turned out!

Damn them and their unholy TREASON to the Eternal Fires of Hell!!!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

What you said... Could not have been better stated. Though we served in different decades, the feelings are shared. You are my brother in arms. Our ancestors served, perhaps even along side each other... Though I miss my father terribly, I thank God he is not here witnessing this. I wrote this a couple of years ago... It is still applicable. I’m doing what I can...

The Gift They Gave Us

They fought and struggled to deliver it.
Some fell along the way.
Some silently recall their journey.
Some lay in silent graves.

We live our lives concerned with time,
Or what we have or haven’t got.
We’ve left their gift to wither away,
Since their hardships we forgot.

But I see the fields of stones and flags,
And a tear comes to my eye.
I hear their voice, they call to me.
They ask the question “Why?”

My son holds my hand and asks me,
“Daddy why are you so sad?”
I swallow hard and say “I’m okay”,
While I straighten the flag for my dad.

I stand up and realize,
The gift, it must be passed on.
I know I must restore it, though,
Before I leave it to my son.

I hear my dad – his voice is loud.
He says “You know what must be done!
Step up and make me proud my boy,
Give FREEDOM to your son!”

I'm with you as always, Doc! This latest outrageous inaction is totally unacceptable.

Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

Me and mine are with you FRiend.

Right now, we can only do small things. Write and call Congress, don't buy from or donate to, known liberal organizations, try and get the truth out to liberals we may know.

But we will act when called. I don't know how to say it. I know there will come a time for a stand.

We stand with you.

May God bless our efforts and yours.

So, Samuel Brison lived to be 175?

Fix that little glitch and you have a magnificent presentation. Thanks.

A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE to our Armed Forces present and past!!!

On September 30th, fifty years ago I raised my right hand and “took the oath”. Though I only served four years active duty in the US Navy, I’ve discovered that there is no expiration to “The Oath”. I proudly honor “The Oath” I repeated before traveling to Boot Camp in San Diego at US Navy Recruit Training Command.

Salute to you ConorMacNessa!!!
