Sacrifices Remembered

Today remember those Men & Women of the United States Armed Forces who payed the ultimate price for us. Their sacrifices can never be forgotten.

With tomorrow being Memorial Day I'm posting MCM today.

Just like Turbonergo, Aribourne are one of the few bands that get me excited about music. A badass group of Aussies that are keeping real Rock alive. More Airbourne and less Beyonce & Katy Perry.

First Lieutenant Audie Murphy
3rd Platoon, Baker Company, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division
June 20, 1924 – May 28, 1971


Most people know Audie Murphy as a popular actor, but before that he was a highly distinguished Soldier in WWII. First Lieutenant Murphy was, in fact, the most decorated American Soldier in the war earning a total of 39 medals from the U.S., France and Belgium. He was awarded every medal the U.S. had at the time including 2 Silver Stars, 2 Bronze Hearts, 3 Purple Hearts and the Medal Of Honor.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

3/5 Darkhorse Marine To Recieve Motorcycle

I received this press release from Operation Gratitude and wanted to share it. I couldn't find a link to it on their website so I had to copy it from the email.

Music Czar Monday

We all have a band that has a deeper significance to us. A band that came along at just the right time in our lives. Nirvana is my band. I'm not a big fan of the 90's. It wasn't the best time for me, but when I listen to Nirvana it takes me back in a good way. They were the first band that really got me interested in music and taught me to actually listen to the lyrics rather than just the music. Cobain was saying things that at least felt like it meant something to me. Gen X'er. What can I say.

Operation Shear Love

Troops in Iraq donate their hair to Locks Of Love. How very cool. If my hair would actually grow like a normal persons I'd let it grow and donate it, but it doesn't.

SSgt. Jason Rogers
28 years old from Brandon Mississippi
2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force
April 7, 2011


"The loss of Jason Rogers is going to make this world an emptier and lonelier and colder place," said childhood friend Brandon Winfield. "I could write a War and Peace-sized story of the kind of person he was. Some people have it — the room just seemed to be dizzier and brighter with him in it."

SSgt. Rogers was KIA on April 7 by an IED while on patrol with his unit in the Helmond Province of Afghanistan.

"He was doing something voluntarily that he loved to do, and he felt like he was making a difference and doing something that made other people proud," said friend Derrick Brownlee.
