Well said ... It is a shame our fallen heros are not recognized for their sacrifices so we can be free. I have re-posted your post to my Facebook to pass the word along. God Bless you Kid!

So that I may exercise my 2nd ammendment right. Just sayin.......God Bless our Military! And I sure would like to give you a hug, you just seem like a good ol boy. Saw you in KC..........MAGNIFICENT AGAIN!

AMEN!! Each time I hear another story about Charlie, I turn the channel. It is ridiculous, the amount of attention that some celebrities get for misbehaving. If our children (or us) misbehaved like that, we would be sent off to some institute immediately. I come from a huge military family, all the way back to WWII (that I know of). Thank God all of my family came home after each war. I wish that every family was as lucky. But they should at least get mentioned for their bravery. When my father came back home in 1972, he was stationed at Ft. Knox KY, he was on his way to work one morning when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver. Ironically, he survived all the tours of duty, only to die here at home on a back road. I was 9 months old and never had the pleasure of meeting him. It's a dam shame that the military is not shown the respect that some celebrities are. God Bless our Troops and thank you!

And you just pointed out what is wrong with this country. Value is placed on Hollywood and reality stars...and not on real Americans. God Bless all the families of these true young heroes. I hate war. I pray for peace.

Yep Bob many a person are being planted Every darn day without Mention except that one newshour mentions them every night which small blessings. Charlie I in my heart because perhaps the chemicals he has taken or other things has something MEdically wrong just a feeling I have. His family HAS to step in and Have him taken in and checked out. he could have a brain hemmorage, he could have had a few mini strokes , any number of things causing his outbursts IF people truely care they will intervein...right now he isn't being rational. later he will thank them for it. something is terribly wrong.

“What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world. - letter to his wife, 1864” Robert E. Lee quotes .

I pray someone was by their side praying for them when they passed and they werent alone, I pray they didnt suffer, I pray they ALL COME HOME Immediately. I pray this WAR ends. too many young men and women dying. when I see serivce men and women in a store or where ever and I tell them "Thank you for what you are doing God Bless you and keep you safe and please COME HOME safely to your families", the smiles on their faces seem to only last a short time, and they always say "I WILL" and they tell me "Thank you" (this response is said everytime never fails) I try to do what I can whenever any service man or woman comes to my business I always comp any rental they do. it aint much, I try. It seems you stand alone Bobby, visiting , entertaining them, reminding us while we sit at home and bitch about dumbass shit there is someone out there fighting for that freedom we all take for granted. You broke the mold the day you were born young man. Take care of yourself too. God Bless. Ms. Laura

May God bless them all and be with their families. Freedom is never free and may we always include these soldiers in our prayers daily and not take our freedom for granted.
