Heroes At Home Wish Registry

For the past five years Sears has been doing the Heroes At Home Wish Registry which helps the men and woman serving overseas, and their families back home, have a good Christmas and Hanukkah by giving them gift cards to help purchase gifts such as clothing, toys and decorations. You can make donations either in a Sears store or online. Check it out and then pass this on. Sears has compiled a video you can watch about the Heroes At Home Registry.

1st Lt. Alexander Bonnyman, Jr.
33 years old from Knoxville, Tennessee
2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division
May 2, 1910 - Nov 23, 1943


Alexander Bonnyman didn't have to go to war. Because of his age and the fact that he was running a company that was producing material that was vital to the war effort, Bonnyman was exempt from military obligation. But he enlisted anyway. Though it wasn't his first stint the military. A few year before he was in the Army Air Forces but was washed out after only three months for buzzing too many control towers.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

One of my all time favorite songs. Richard Wright, may he rest in peace, was simply amazing.

My brother had this album, vinyl, not a cassette or CD, and I can remember just staring at the cover thinking that it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Looking at it today brings back those memories. I still think it's best album cover ever.

Wednesday Hero Anniversary

Today marks the sixth anniversary of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. And, like in years past, Kathi has compiled the heroes that Wednesday Hero has profiled over the last year into a video. I've never once asked her to do this, she does it because she's just that awesome.

One of these days I'm going to sync this up with the actual beginning of Wednesday Hero, which is in March.
