Green Beret Heroes

Michelle Malkin had this post today, and I just had to share it, after I was done standing up and saluting these men.  Heroes, to the last man.  You can read the post at Honoring the heroes of Operational Detachment Alpha 3336, 3rd Special Forces Group  Be sure to watch the video.  WP won’t allow me to post it here because it’s flash, but this is a must see.

 

 

Compassion

Perhaps you saw the story this week, about the military jet that crashed into a suburban neighborhood in San Diego.  Military jet crash in San Diego kills 3 on ground  When I initially read it, my heart went out to the family members of the deceased, naturally.  Whose wouldn’t? 

It isn’t often that we get the follow up to many news stories.  Usually the reporters hover long enough to get the basics, then they’re on to the next thing, and we forget about this incident or that one, because we’re bombarded daily with something else, something new, something that demands our attention right now. 

I was touched to see a follow up to the story of the military jet crash, and even more saddened when I read about the man whose family was killed in that crash.  No longer was he just some nameless faceless family member – he’s a father, a husband, a son-in-law.  My heart broke for Dong Yun Yoon and I am glad Michelle Malkin got the heart of the story, the humanity of it.  When it all boils down, the news stories we read aren’t about nameless, faceless people – they’re about us.  And the least we can do is show someone we care.  I hope you are compelled to.

This is what patriotism looks like

Send a message to Dong Yun Yoon

A day that will live in infamy

Still.  America must never forget that attacks come, and we have to defend ourselves, and that we must always be prepared.

A *salute* for all who have served. 

A good post over at Michelle Malkin today.

Thank You.

 

 

Aftermath

Zo, you say it so well! 

We need you, Ron!!

Do you miss Ron?  I know I do.  Over on American Thinker, William Staneski has put together a collection of videos of a speech Reagan gave on behalf of Barry Goldwater back in 1964.  A classic of enduring relevance

What’s amazing is that listening to these tapes, Ron’s words still sparkle with life and vitality, with Patriotism and American values, and with relevance for our country today.  Oh, my heart hurts!  I miss him so!
