Re: Thought for the day
Sad to say.Originally posted by Jimmy Buffit View PostJoe, it's worth more than a bump!
Sad to say, this picture is still valid, also:
In all the training I've had at the Sheriff's Department, I got to listen to Lt. Colonel Grossman talk about our armed forces(you should google him). The closest I got to being in the armed forces was 2 weeks from going to Oakland to get my physical then off to the Air Force to be a Jet Engine Mechanic (I wanted to fly them but messed around in school too much, next best thing
). The last football game my senior year, I got speared by a kind fellow at Crater High School, Oregon and thus ended my career in the Air Force. He spelled it out, while men and women are in our armed forces protecting who we love and our great country, we as cops, myself and I know CNFowler included, we are over here protecting those you love and I'll do everything in my power to protect yours on my watch. I thank God everyday for our soldiers and support them.
While in the bay area to watch a 49er game, we drove by Golden Gate National Cemetary. My wife and I drove in and paid our respects to those fallen comrades of you soldiers and thanked them.....
Although I do go to the mall, I have ample opportunity to protect mine and yours in the event I have to, and won't hesitate to do so. It's our job. And your job as soldiers current and former was to make sure I can do so and be free.
Thank you to our soldiers and thanks to my bretheren for keeping us safe here in the states.

Re: Thought for the day

His name was Greg Rundell and i just ask for those of you who do pray please say a prayer for his family who i know is going through a real hard time right now and they need all the help they can get. He had just turned 21. This is a pic i took of him the last time i saw him.

Re: Thought for the day
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shall Not Steal,' 'Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...
It creates a hostile work environment.Comment

Re: Thought for the day
You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in
the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your
infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from
100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the
MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you
know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000
miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in
and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a
helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem
real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his
job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the
Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they
load 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the
gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses. And, he kept coming back.... 13 more
times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never
have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman,died Aug 2008 at the age
of 80, in Boise, ID ......May God rest his soul.....
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we sure were told a whole bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward beating up his "girlfriend"
God Bless

Re: Thought for the day
I can't believe I didn't see this post before, Thank you Superior Shine for starting this thread. It is sad that the media only shows the people what THEY want you to see....which is nothing but negativity and sheer sadness that's going on over in Iraq and Afganistan. It's not always that case.
Has anyone ever heard stories about infantry units doing some community relations? Like a squad of Soldiers who brought school supplies to children only to be ambushed by insurgents, made contact and dispersed those insurgents, medivaced their dead and wounded to the rear and went back to the school to make sure they completed their mission? CNN, FOX, and NBC don't have the fortitude to do so.
My boots hit Iraqi soil 2 weeks after the Blackwater convoy was ambushed and some of their fallen members were hung from that bridge in Fallujah. There has never been a time where I was more freaked out then when I crossed the Kuwait/Iraq border manning the Ma Deuce on my 5 ton. We studied the maps and read the intell reports to the T and we all came home alive. I've been thru 5 IED attacks, 1 firefight, and countless mortar attacks in my 12 month shindig. My battle buddy lost his left eye to an IED, another friend almost had his hand blown off by another, plus a handful of others who didn't make it without a scratch but we all made it and that's what counts!
Derrick, I'm sorry to hear about your fallen friend, and let it be known that his death was not in vain and he did not die alone, he made the sacrifice for you and me and for everyone that claims to be an American.
Its the soldier not the reporter who gives us the freedom of press, Its the soldier not the poet who gives us the freedom of speech, Its the soldier not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate, Its the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester's to burn the flag, Its the dedication, sacrifice, and will from any service member to this day, to allow the freedom that the U.S. has today. To be able to post on MOL, To be able to detail your car, To get in a car and drive wherever you want, To take a shower, To walk down the street and not be afraid. Its the service member who is willing to pay!
Thank you to everyone who supports us!
