So much has been going on lately...it's hard to know where to begin.
First, please take a moment to go and sign
An Open Letter in Support of America's Armed Forces We need to let our troops know we support them!
Making the circuit of the blogs is a
Marine Letter From Fallujah About Great Americans that everyone should read. Want the truth? Here it is.
My prayers go out to the family of Nick Berg, and my heart breaks at the horrible death he suffered...
I'm astounded and horrified at the abuse of Iraqi prisoners...those soldiers involved are a disgrace to the ideals of America. What they did was far across the line of what is acceptable in times of war.
Here's an excellent article from Victor David Hanson:
Have we any memory of a man in a suit and tie, nearly three years ago wading through the din and panic amid the morning rubble, assuring millions of stunned Americans that the national headquarters of their armed forces was still intact and capable of defending us after the mass murder of 3,000? And have we no shame in recognizing that should some congressional critics and Washington harpies get their way, Americans will accomplish what bin Laden's suicide bombers could not on September 11: remove America's finest Secretary of Defense in a half century?
American Cannibalism
I added a new blog to the list at the top of my blog page -
The Green Side. Emails from a Marine serving in Iraq with first-hand observations of what's actually going on over there.
Some other excellent sources of news that Hugh Hewitt referenced in his
blog:
The Command Post
Citizen Smash - The Indepundit
The Belmont Club
BLACKFIVE
The Mudville Gazette
Little Green Footballs
Marine Corps MomsI'll be adding these blogs to my list later this evening.
Work has been hectic again this week...I think that this is going to be normal for the next few months! On the down side, we're losing three paid holidays and will have to work, but on the upside we'll be getting big bonuses
Tomorrow morning I'm going to try to make it to the
KTKZ garage sale, then it's to the laundromat, the grocery store, Walmart and back home. Once home I have to bake a peach cream pie and get some chicken breasts prepared for a meal I'm fixing for my mom and stepdad on Sunday.
On their birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother's and Father's day I like to visit them and cook a meal for them. Sunday's visit will be a combined Mother's Day/his 70th birthday meal. I'm fixing my version of chicken parmegiana with a salad, garlic bread and peach cream pie for dessert. Sounds yummy, don't it?
