Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once […]

Band Of Brothers

Something a little different this week. Instead of profiling a service member, Wednesday Hero will be profiling a movie. Band Of Brothers. It was a miniseries tha aired on HBO in 2001. It follows Maj. Richard Winters, Cpt. Lewis Nixon and the men of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute […]

This faux interest of Obama’s for Wounded Warriors was evident during the inaguaration and continues. Nice, you order wounded soldiers for an appearance with the CIC, order them to be in place at 11:30 and be late and make these wounded soldiers wait around for 3.5 hours. Then when the Obama does arrive […]

It’s a guide to the Age of Obama from Victor Davis Hanson.
Here’s a couple of my favorites:
5.Random violence. Some assassinations represent larger American pathologies, but others do not. When a crazed lone gunman murders someone outside the Holocaust Museum or shoots an abortion doctor, we should worry about growing right-wing and Christian extremism.
But when an […]

Obama and Dhimmicrats want the US to move to government healthcare because of this supposed 46 million uninsured people in the United States. Notice they don’t say Americans. That’s because at least 9.7 million of the 46 million are non-citizens. The Census people don’t specify whether those are legal or illegal residents, […]

This flag is privately owned (Jim Gentry of South Pittsburg,TN), the owner (at his own expense) brought it out for Sgt. John M. Sullivan’s funeral on Jan. 8, 2007 in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee.

You’re a grand old flag.
You’re a high flying flag.
And forever in […]

How crazy is this? I heard this twice yesterday on radio news and thought, Obama and his minions can’t be this nuts! Aw, how wrong can a person be. I even messaged with a friend who is Special Ops in Afghanistan to ask about it and he had heard nothing. Now […]

On Sunday, my friends (Mary Anne and Larry) and I left for Conway, Ark to stand with the Arkansas Patriot Guard to honor Pvt William Long and his family. Pvt Long was killed in a terrorist attack on our land, his memory needs to live on. The injustice by the media in the […]

This is so cool. Although, I’m not sure this is actually from the US Army since there’s no credits detailing which unit, when or where.

Anyone who has more details, let me know.

The contrast is stark in media reporting and the Obama Administration response to the abortion doctor Tiller’s shooting and the Muslim shooting of an American Soldier Pvt William Long.

From Kimberly Morin at Examiner.com

Obviously there is an overt effort by the Obama Administration to rebrand the US as a Muslim country. Where is he coming up with these vast number of Muslims in the US?
Obama’s Speech in Cairo to Muslim world:
But my personal story is not so unique. The dream of opportunity for all people has […]

Just remember, Islam is the religion of peace and she loves Jesus (the prophet)!
Secure Arkansas organized a rally in rememberance of the first terrorist attack since 9/11. Pvt. William Long was killed and Pvt. Quinton I. Ezeagwula was wounded by Carlos Leon (aka Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad). Channel 11 was the only TV crew out there […]

Back in 2006 an amateur historian old maps at a fair and these maps uncovered German bunkers used by the Nazi’s which caused horrific losses to Allies on D-Day.

However, over the years it was lost as nature took hold, and it remained […]

This is interesting. Looks to be one of those situations where if the Knoxville District Attorney had done their job this terrorist act may not have occurred.
From Knox News - Man accused of shooting soldiers in Ark. was stopped in 2004 by KPD

Finally, 2 days after this attack Obama makes a statement. And what does he say?

Keep the Long and Ezeaqwula families in your thoughts and prayers.
Crickets again from Obama on this shooting. It took only hours for Obama to speak out on the Dr. […]

Turns out this Muslim convert was already being watched by the FBI.
Warner Todd Huston at Redstate has another twist on looking at this story.
The heinous act of Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, formerly Carlos Leon Bledsoe, a prison convert to Islam, is a perfect example of why terrorism cannot be fought using police procedures and is […]

So we’ve got a Muslim who hates the military who shot the 2 soldiers at the Arkansas military recruiting office.
Will we hear about this all over the network news for the next few days?
Will Obama express his sorrow that a Muslim extremist shot and killed a US Army Soldier and injured […]
