About Time

Finally someone in the government has stated the obvious. In an interview with CNBC, President Bush called this global War On Terror what it is. World War III. Thinking that this is a conflict solely between American and radical Islam is a mistake. These psychos don't to only destroy the U.S., they want to wipe out all of Western civilization and create an Islamic world. And just like the last guy, they want to exterminate the Jews and anyone who doesn't believe in what they believe.

I only wish that Bush done this sooner.

Cinco De Mayo

Can someone please tell me why we celebrate this day here in America? This is a Mexican holiday. Do people in Mexico celebrate the Fourth Of July? I'm guessing not. I know some would like to think that this is Mexico, but it's not and all your bitching doesn't make it so. And Mexico, you're welcome.

Maximilian's rule was short-lived. Mexican rebels opposed to his rule resisted, seeking the aid of the United States. Once the American Civil War was over, the U.S. military began supplying Mexicans with weapons and ammunition, and by 1867, the rebels finally defeated the French and deposed their puppet Emperor. The Mexican people then reelected Juárez as president.

Enforcing The Law

Once again, it's up to a small group of people to enforce the law that the federal government won't.

A posse of 100 volunteers and sheriff's deputies will patrol the Phoenix area and arrest any illegal immigrants, the county sheriff said.

Volunteers will be drawn from the department's 3,000-member posse, whose members are trained and are often former deputies.

Wednesday Hero

Spc. Charles E. Odums II
22 years old from Sandusky, Ohio
United States Army
Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division
May 30, 2004

Annie Odums was expecting a Memorial Day phone call from her son in Iraq. Instead, the Army told her that 22-year-old Spc. Charles E. Odums II, of Sandusky, had been killed on Sunday, May 30, 2004 in Baghdad when a bomb exploded near his patrol.

“It’s only been two days, and it feels like weeks,” Mrs. Odums said Tuesday night.

Odums was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, based out of Fort Hood, Texas. He planned to try to become a police officer in Houston when his four-year enlistment was up in another year, his mother said.

“Our faith in God is seeing us through,” she said. “We’ve had our crying periods, but we’re trying to be strong.”

She said her son was “very outgoing, very family-oriented - everyone loved him.”

Odums met his wife, Melanie, of Independence, Ohio, while they were students at the University of Toledo, his mother said.

“Charles never thought he would be college material, but we strongly encouraged him to try,” Mrs. Odums said. “He went for a year and a half, then got the point where he said, ‘Mom, I’m wasting your money and my time.’ He couldn’t find a job and decided to go to the military.

“I tried to support him in his decision, but that would not have been my first choice for him.”

Mrs. Odums said her son and daughter-in-law, who lives in Austin, Texas, planned to start a family “when he finished his term.”

“He didn’t think it was fair to leave her with a child,” she said.

Odums deployed to Iraq on March 5, 2004 and was scheduled to be there 13 months. He called his parents frequently, but tried to downplay the danger he was in.

“He didn’t want to worry his mother,” Mrs. Odums said. “Lately, he would tell us about going out on reconaissance, how they would be shot at every time.”

Odums was trained as a medic and also drove an armored vehicle.

“They knew they were going to be fired on when they went out,” Mrs. Odums said. “I don’t know if he resented it; I wouldn’t say that would be a good word. He knew his duty, and he knew he had to do it.”

Mrs. Odums said she and her husband, Charles, thought once Saddam Hussein was captured, U.S. soldiers would return home more quickly than they have.

“This should not be downplayed by people who say this is not a war,” she said. “These young men and women are being shot at and ambushed. I just want people to realize it’s not over. I want all these young men and women to return home safely.

“Just because my son didn’t doesn’t mean we don’t pray that all the others return safely.”

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

If you have a loved who has served or is currently serving in the armed forces, and feel they should be profiled as a Wednesday Hero, I would be proud to do it. Just email me with some info and a photo.
