I doubt much else in my life has fed my soul the way 8.28 did. I couldn’t be more thankful for Glenn Beck and the stellar group of God-loving patriots he brought together for this event. God bless you all. Then there was the crowd. That I stood in the company of 500,000-plus American Patriots will [...] Third Herd, Iraq 2005 photo courtesy of John McCullouch What is freedom worth to Americans? Is it worth the loss of friends or a job? Is it worth the loss of a home or car or societal status? Is it worth everything? Worth your life? It’s a question that certainly must have challenged more than a [...] Although August 15, 1945, was before my time, this kiss was for years the image that always popped into my head. I still think about it, but conversations with one WWII veteran in particular have left me with other images. Charles Stanton was a radioman on the USS Waldron, or the “Bloody W” as the sailors [...] It’s been 70 years since some 22,000 Polish prisoners were gruesomely executed in the Katyn Forest Massacre in Russia.

Just last month, Obama said he’s “always worried about using the word “victory” – a statement further enforced by his non-committal [...] In an age of seemingly endless corruption and greed, the substitution of hard work for a quick fix and what often seems to be a general decline of human decency, it’s always a joy to meet a true hero. Such is my opinion of Terry Pearson, who came forward as the major whistle-blower in the U.S. [...] I received an email today from a fellow patriot, Mack Hayes. He’s made quite a name for himself in the music and entertainment industry over the years, and has recently produced an outstanding video chronicling the events of the last few months. The timing of the video could not be better. It is not without notice [...] Courtesy of the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal and Arron Thompson. Daryl Mackin never had the opportunity to meet Staff Sgt. Marc Golczynski before the 12 –year Marine reservist was killed in Iraq on March 27, 2007.
