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.

I love this song and Robertson's guitar. I think they would describe this as "hauntingly beautiful".

3/5 Darkhorse: A Year Later

In 2010, 1,000 Marines from 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment, 3/5 Darkhorse, were deployed to Afghanistan. During their seven month deployment they lost 25 men and suffered nearly 200 wounded. A year later NPR is doing a seven part series on 3/5 Darkhorse. They have six parts up already, but part four seem to be missing. Not sure why. I don't know when the final part will be posted so keep checking their site.

Veterans Day

To all the Men and Women who've ever worn the uniform, Thank You.

Below is what I posted last year. I thought I would use it again.

Some have fought and bled for us while others never saw action. Yet they are all Heroes who deserve our deepest respect and thanks. They've done so much, yet ask for so little in return. Some who have come back were lucky and have been able to pick up their lives while others need our help. On this Veterans Day take time and remember these brave Men and Women who stood up and served this country and it's people.

The two were part of a group of Airmen that deployed to Joint Base Balad, Iraq, in June, but returned a couple of months early after President Obama announced the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year.
