Nice Tribute

Sgt Hook points to a wonderful site which honors all who are serving and who have served ... Soldier Wall. Visitors can add their own photos and highlights, and there is even a search function to see if your servicemember has been posted. I've added a few good people, and as soon as I scrounge up some more images, I'll be adding others. Go check it out.

People you should know

U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Allan Davison and Chief Warrant Officer Micah Johnson are awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for their actions in rescuing two other pilots on July 2. Chief Davison and Chief Johnson made sure their brothers came home. Because that's what troops do. Somebody please clue in the MSM. As of this morning, there is scarcely a mention of these two fine soldiers in the news, and nothing in the major newspapers at all. Shameful.

Apache tribute

Need to satisfy that urge for some helo action? Check out the video at Guidons, Guidons, Guidons. The video is a tribute to the Apache AH-64D community, and especially to the memory of two fallen pilots: CW4 Keith Yoakum and CW2 Jason Defrenn. After that, you can learn more about these two heroes in Wayne's "Above and Beyond" post at Savannah Daydreamin'. It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. ~ Gen. George S. Patton ~
