This is worth looking at: "Not Ready to End the Fight"
Read the story behind the video here
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." -- Edmund Burke
I think it is important for folks to remember we who serve volunteer to serve. We go in harms way to defend liberty, our nation, and our families because we want to serve.
There are important lessons from our history we must never forget.
I also find myself moved by this video on Youtube set to
Toby Keith's: "American Soldier"
I'm just tryin' to be a father
raise a dauther and a son
be a lover to their mother
everything to everyone

when the wolf growles at the door

hey i'm steady
hey i'm true down to the core
And i will always do my duty
no matter what the price
i've counted up the cost

oh and i don't want to die for you
but if dyin's askin me, i'll bear that cross with honor
cause freedom don't come free
I'm an american soldier

Above All II
I was reading this morning that the Air Force has awarded the contract for our much needed new tanker. My attention was grabbed by a line that while the contracts is very expensive, it is nowhere near as expensive as the Army's new Future Combat Systems Program. I went to watch the video "warning order" at this site http://www.army.mil/fcs/ and I had to smile. In the midst of all the high tech training and combat there is one essential piece of the puzzle to getting the army from their home station to the fight: The United States Air Force! Hoorah!
