Memorial Day 2011

To all of you, you who have made the ultimate sacrifice,
Thank You. We remember.

The Psalms

23

1 The LORD is my shepard; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table in the presence of mine enemies:

thou annoitest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

If you haven't been there yet, get on over to Blackfive. They've got some Memorial Day motivational military posters that will make your eyes get wet.

5.01.11 We got him!

UBL is dead. Finally. OutFreakinStanding! And by "we", I mean the United States of America. Specifically, Seal Team Six with some help from the 160th SOAR Nightstalkers and probably a whole bunch of other folks behind the scenes. "Thank you" does not seem like nearly enough to say, but Thank You all the same, all of you who made it happen, from a Brother Warrior.

And now, to the politicians and others out there who have been busy wringing their hands about us killing an unarmed terrorist, get over yourselves. Or those of you worrying about offending muslims. Really? We are at war. This war is not over simply because Bin Laden is dead. Usama Bin Laden was pure evil and needed to be destroyed. The trash needed to be taken out, and it was, thanks to our military. But this war is going to continue for a long time, and more of it will likely be fought here. Some of it already has been, but your destructive political correctness and desire to appease the islamists will not acknowledge that. Now more than ever, it's time to stand up, stand to, and be ready.
