NOW REMOTE DRONE PILOTS HAVE A MEDAL...A MEDAL THAT OUTCLASSES THE BRONZE STAR...AND I AM FURIOUS

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/13/new-medal-for-drone-pilots/1917735/

Pass this on to your veteran friends.

If I hear anyone suggest a career in the armed services to a young person, I will spit on you.  You are degrading the person to whom you are speaking, urging that person to serve a dictator.

If your loved one is in the military, serving in one of the multi-wars we are waging,  this should prove to you the term, "cannon fodder".  Your loved one is "cannon fodder" and nothing else and their bravery is being mocked by this medal apparently to the great joy and satisfaction of the Pentagon, Panetta and Obama.

Until the communist, socialist, marxist traitors, the Rinos and the .....rats are run out of Washington,  the place fumigated, and a bona fide, constitutionally elected president takes over, and the criminals all shot for treason, I will spit on you for disrespecting yourselves and our brave men and women who served so courageously, giving up their lives and limbs and mental well being.

Getting a medal for playing video wargames in a remote, dark room and killing people halfway around the world isn't heroism.  It's playing life and death games in a cocoon, safe from harm; warm, comfortable and cozy - not in some godforsaken place where bombs are falling and erupting, bullets are spraying, where your head could well be severed from your body and you can't trust "the people" not to detonate themselves or their children next to you; where you can't even read your Bible for comfort and solace or get one night's sleep.

Take a look at the ribbon itself; could the light blue be construed as UN blue?  Could the wreath around the globe stand for global governance?  I don't know.  Do you?

It's time to clean out the barn, throw out the trash, turn Washington DC inside out and hose it all down.  Way past time...don't you think?  May I be first to (wo)man the hose?

BENGHAZI - GENERAL CARTER HAM FIRED AND REPLACED?



Ham ignored the stand down order from the White House and tried to help the embassy personnel.

I hope he watches his back.  Wouldn't want him to expire in an accident, now would we?  He has a book to write so we will forever know what happened...like, the TRUTH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE OBAMA OUT THERE IN AFGHANISTAN DRAWING FIRE AWAY FROM HIS PINNED DOWN SQUAD? HE'D HAVE A FULL DIAPER AND CRY LIKE A BABY...

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/wild-helmet-cam-vid-shows-heroic-u-s-soldier-drawing-taliban-gunfire-away-from-pinned-down-squad/

Maybe we should never elect a president who has not seen combat in the field.

Obama would probably run like hell on those stick man legs and go AWOL and hide out with the Muslims.

YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM.
HE HAS TAINTED THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT.

MR. ROGERS AND CAPTAIN KANGAROO - SORRY, THE PIX WOULDN'T WORK.


WHY MR. ROGERS WORE A SWEATER?
Captain Kangaroo passed away on January 23, 2004 at age 76 , which is odd,
because he always looked to be 76. (DOB: 6/27/27 )
His death reminded me of the following story.
Some people have been a bit offended that the actor, Lee Marvin,
is buried in a grave alongside 3 and 4-star generals at
Arlington National Cemetery. His marker gives his name,
rank (PVT) and service (USMC). Nothing else.
Here's a guy who was only a famous movie star who served his time,
Why the heck does he rate burial with these guys?
Well, following is the amazing answer:
I always liked Lee Marvin, but didn't know the extent
of his Corps experiences.

In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country
in the armed forces often in rear echelon posts where they
were carefully protected, only to be trotted out to perform
for the cameras in war bond promotions,
Lee Marvin was a genuine hero.
He won the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima There is only one
higher Naval award... the Medal Of Honor!

If that is a surprising comment on the true character of the man,
he credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery.
Dialog from "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson":
His guest was Lee Marvin...
Johnny said,"Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware
that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ..
and that during the course of that action you earned
the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."

"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the bottom and they gave me
the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi.
Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys getting
shot hauling you down. But, Johnny, at Iwo , I served under
the bravest man I ever knew... We both got the Cross the same day,
but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison.
That dumb guy actually stood up on Red beach and directed his
troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach..
Bullets flying by, with mortar rounds landing everywhere and he
stood there as the main target of gunfire so that he could get his
men to safety. He did this on more than one occasion because
his men's safety was more important than his own life.
That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought
me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and
passed it to me, lying on my belly on the litter and said,
"Where'd they get you Lee?" "Well Bob....
if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse!"
Johnny, I'm not lying, Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man
I ever knew.
The Sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan.
You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo."

On another note, there was this wimpy little man
(who passed away) on PBS, gentle and quiet. Mr. Rogers is
another of those you would least suspect of being anything
but what he now portrays to our youth.
But Mr. Rogers was a U.S. Navy Seal, combat-proven in
Vietnam with over twenty-five confirmed kills to his name.
He wore a long-sleeved sweater on TV, to cover the many
tattoos on his forearm and biceps.
He was a master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat,
able to disarm or kill in a heartbeat

After the war Mr. Rogers became an ordained Presbyterian minister
and therefore a pacifist. Vowing to never harm another human and
also dedicating the rest of his life to trying to help lead children on
the right path in life... He hid away the tattoos and his past life
and won our hearts with his quiet wit and charm..
America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did; they quietly go
about their day-to-day lives, doing what they do best.
They earned our respect and the freedoms that we all enjoy.
Look around and see if you can find one of those
heroes in your midst.
Often, they are the ones you'd least suspect, but would most like
to have on your side if anything ever happened.
Take the time to thank anyone that has fought for our freedom.
With encouragement they could be the next Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers..
Send this on, will you please? Nothing will happen to you if you don't, but you will be awakening others to what a HERO is made of...

AUDIE MURPHY'S WIDOW PASSES AWAY - A GREAT LADY

http://www.audiemurphy.com/award24.htm

Pamela Murphy, widow of WWII hero and actor, Audie Murphy, died peacefully at her home on April 8, 2010. She was the widow of the most decorated WWII hero and actor, Audie Murphy, and established her own distinctive 35 year career working as a patient liaison at the Sepulveda Veterans Administration hospital, treatingevery veteran who visited the facility as if they were a VIP.

Any soldier or Marine who came into the hospital got the same special treatment from her. She would walk the hallways with her clipboard in hand making sure her boys got to see the specialist they needed.

If they didn't, watch out. Her boys weren't Medal of Honor recipients or movie stars like Audie, but that didn't matter to Pam. They had served their country. That was good enough for her. She never called a veteran by his first name. It was always "Mister." Respect came with the job.

"Nobody could cut through VA red tape faster than Mrs. Murphy," said veteran Stephen Sherman, speaking for thousands of veterans she befriended over the years. "Many times I watched her march a veteran who had been waiting more than an hour right into the doctor's office. She was even reprimanded a few times, but it didn't matter to Mrs. Murphy. "Only her boys mattered. She was our angel."

Audie Murphy died broke in a plane crash in 1971, squandering millions of dollars on gambling, bad investments, and yes, other women. "Even with the adultery and desertion at the end, he always remained my hero," Pam told me.

She went from a comfortable ranch-style home in Van Nuys where she raised two sons to a small apartment - taking a clerk's job at the nearby VA to support herself and start paying off her faded movie star husband's debts. At first, no one knew who she was. Soon, though, word spread throughthe VA that the nice woman with the clipboard was Audie Murphy's widow. It was like saying General Patton had just walked in the front door. Men with tears in their eyes walked up to her and gave her a hug.

"Thank you," they said, over and over.

The first couple of years, I think the hugs were more for Audie's memory as a war hero. The last 30 years, they were for Pam.

One year I asked her to be the focus of a Veteran's Day column for all the work she had done. Pam just shook her head no.

"Honor them, not me," she said, pointing to a group of veterans down the hallway. "They're the ones who deserve it."

The vets disagreed. Mrs. Murphy deserved the accolades, they said. Incredibly, in 2002, Pam's job was going to be eliminated in budget cuts. She was considered "excess staff." "I don't think helping cut down on veterans' complaints and showing them the respect they deserve, should be considered excess staff," she told me. Neither did the veterans. They went ballistic, holding a rally for her outside the VA gates. Pretty soon, word came down from the top of the VA. Pam Murphy was no longer considered "excess staff."

She remained working full time at the VA until 2007 when she was 87.

"The last time she was here was a couple of years ago for the conference we had for homeless veterans," said Becky James, coordinator of the VA's Veterans History Project. Pam wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help some more of her boys. Pam Murphy was 90 when she died last week. What a lady.

We need One American Hero...

It's not an original idea. But the simplicity of it would save the country.

I've made a lot of phone calls since the Philip Berg lawsuit for Obama's birth certificate came to my attention.

I have been hung up on by personnel in the Florida Attorney General's office; in the Florida Assistant Secretary of State, Div. of Elections office. They DO NOT want to know anything.

But no one has realized that if one...JUST ONE...local Supervisor of Elections in this entire country, demanded Obama to present his credentials with a valid birth certificate, to satisfy that Supervisor that he was born in Hawaii or he (the Supervisor) would remove Obama from the ballot, that would send a message around the world to rival the first shot fired in the Revolution.

The refusal of just one person could change the course of American history and avoid a Constitutional crisis!


It would be the first step to return our government to a nation under the rule of law and to the Constitution.

Think about it! Where are our constitutionally appointed law enforcement officers; our Governors, our Representatives, our Congressmen? Why aren't they carrying out their oaths of office in preventing this election until Obama presents his proof of birth?

Do YOU know any American heroes (or heroines)?


Digg!
