I love these pictures you always put up. My nephew went back to the sandbox on Memorial Day after two weeks at home for his birthday and Mother's Day. I worry about him every day he's over there and hope he comes home safe and sound.

We all worry about them too Lynn, God bless them all.
I like that Chrissie, a medic with a rifle in her hands, experience has taught me that the enemy doesn't respect an unarmed medic, only that we do.
My neighbors eldest son at Great Lakes Naval Recruit Training Command is about to graduate in a few days and move on to more training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, he has been told that as a Sea Bee he'll likely be sent to the sandbox too in about 10 months. His mother is petrified. She's the one who asked me about my POW flag right after I put it up 24/7, reality just might be setting in. These are perilous times with a weak leadership of bowing appeasers.
That's why Iran and N.Korea are making their moves.
Iran dropped the hostages the day Reagan took over, they knew he'd leave a scorched glazed over spot in Persia where Tehran was. Madam Clinton was just on the news talking about violations of this:

Maybe I'm just being cynical but just get a new resolution because they are not going to act and neither is this administration.

Well lets see, June 25, will be the 59th anniversary of the Korean War. So what do you suppose this Pint-sized half-wit will do to commemorate the invasion of South Korea. More importantly what will Obama do this may be the undoing of Barry Soetoro.

Lynn, thank yo uso much.
Oh wow two weeks at home, how wonderful
that had to have been.
I know what you mean about worrying. It is
impossible not to. I am so glad you share
