NFL Color Guard's Super Bowl Attendence Causing Quite the Stir

 

Gang-

From many of you I received numerous emails about the NFL and why they were giving them the boot after their Color Guard duties and were not going to be afforded the opportunity to watch the game.

 My first motion was to email them with the other 1200 emails with a “what the hell” statement. However, every coin has two sides and I know the NFL takes care of the military among other great corporations.

Please take the time to read my email to them and the response I received from the NFL, then you will have all of the facts.

Taking Chance- from LtCol Strobl

Gang- If you dont get the chance to see the HBO special "Taking Chance" you can read about the entire ordeal below:

Taking Chance

Chance Phelps was wearing his Saint Christopher medal when he was killed on
Good Friday.  Eight days later, I handed the medallion to his mother.  I
didn't know Chance before he died.  Today, I miss him.

Gran Torino...A Marine's review

 

So ….last night “House Cinc” (the Ms) and I went and saw Gran Torino the movie. Although we went to the 7:230 showing, on Sat night made for a fantastic freak show of the paint chip licking teenagers I got to see while standing in line.  Do they own mirrors? For all that is holy, do their parents let them go out like that because they hate them? I saw proof of why some parents eat their young…..

Anyway, the movie is about 2rhs long. The theater was full (pretty sure I was one of the youngest guys there) as I had chit chat with two retired Army dogs in the concessions line. Good talk!

F22 slice of whooops ass.

See the latest F22 capabilities as you can also get your techno on at the same time......all I could think about as I watched this was Will Ferrel from the night from the Roxbury. Enjoy....and feel sorry for the SOBs on the recieving end of this beast.....na dont feel sorry for em...
