I wonder if she's a native Arizonan or a emigrant "Snow Bird" or transplant from Kalifornia. I know where I'd put moy money.

Have We Forgotten?
I'm coming in just under the wire here, and it doesn't make me happy.
I knew that this anniversary of our countries finest moment was here, and yet I almost let it slip past. I forgot to put my flag out this morning, and even though I finally realized what this day was, I put off posting.
I am ashamed!
There was very little on the news today about a day that shaped my entire life.
That D-day could pass with such little acknowledgment of the sacrifices of the generation before mine makes me fear more for the generation that is coming behind mine.
What is this day? What did it mean to those in Europe that where waiting for someone to throw off the oppression of NAZI socialism?
I give you a video of a French citizen who, even though he had to go through an interpreter, needed to express his feelings about what America did for his country.
God bless our soldiers both past and present. May we always stand for right and to free those who are under fascist regimes.
May we not forget what they did, EVER.

Memorial Day 2010
Today is a day to honor our fallen heroes. There are many posts and videos all over the net today doing that, so I decided to do something a little different. I wanted to post something on why we honor these fine young men and women. What it is about these people that deserve our praise and honor?
This video of Oliver North describes why.
God bless our troops!

The Best Of Us
A soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

The Rifleman
I finally break down and get a new machine and what do I get hooked on? A black and white TV show from the '50's.
I went to HULU to find a movie to watch but ran into "The Rifleman", a show I loved while I was growing up. Lucas McCain was my hero. In those 30 minute shows I found a man who was fair, honorable, worked hard for what he wanted and above all loved his son.
In all the years I have watched this program, I had never known how Lucas and Mark got to North Fork, now I do.
Did you know Sam Peckinpah wrote and directed the original screenplay and a lot of the first year episode?
And for you rifle purists, I know that the show is set in the early 1880's and the rifle was produced in 1892...I don't care!
There are 50 episodes on Hulu if you'd like to go back down that trail.

In Rememberance
So long ago. Oh Lord, may we remember the sacrifices of our Fathers, Grandfathers, and now our Great Grandfathers who stood up to defend this great country and may we prove worthy of that sacrifice.
Amen
Amen
