KIA

Some of you know that every Monday I do a KIA Honor Post to pay respect to those who were KIA the previous week. I have done this for almost a year now making sure that I, and hopefully you, don't ever take them for granted. So I wanted to end the week on a positive note. This will be a weekly feature, every Friday, to honor those who made it home.

As many of you know, or at least I hope you have noticed, the weekly KIA Honor Post I have been doing every single Monday now for almost a year now. If we are taking time to honor those who were KIA then we should recognize those who did make it home, especially here in our own Northern Colorado backyard, and highlight what they did for our country.

I know I say it all the time but let's please not forget the sacrifice these brave individuals have given to our great country. Like Army Pfc. Markie T. Sims. Let's all keep the hope that 2013 will be the year we bring our family members home and we never again have to read these Monday KIA Honor posts. Please t ...

Most of you know I am a huge supporter of our Military and all their might. I don't hold one branch as being any better than the other or any war more important than another. Well, I take that back. When it comes to wars, I have the most respect for those who did their time in the Nam.

Today is Christmas Eve. A day we spend with family and friends and cherish what we have together. Many families have loved ones far away from home this week and some families have loved ones that will never return home. I know I say it all the time but let's please not forget the sacrifice these brave individuals have given to our great country. Ou ...

Please take a moment to remember these brave young men and their sacrifice for our great country. The original video of a soldier playing the National Anthem during prayer time in Afghanistan from the top of the barracks that was removed from YouTube last week was at the author's request. Whi ...

It's Monday. For me that means it's time to stop for a few minutes and acknowledge those who sacrificed their lives last week for this great country. New York is enduring the biggest loss of the week but my thoughts go out to all the families. These ar ...

It's Monday. For me that means it's time to stop for a few minutes and acknowledge those who sacrificed their lives last week for this great country. We never knew them nor do we know their families. Did they have wives? Children? These a ...

I have been fortunate enough in life to surround myself with good people. Many of my friends are members of groups like the Patriot Guard, Journey 4 Justice, American Legion and the VFW. And then some individuals that are true hero's like Bill Suhre of the Suhre Law Firm in Greeley, Terry and Genia Myer {Gold Star Family), Nubbin and Angela Johnston (Gold Star Family), and the list goes on. But one individual sticks out today...

It's hard not to think of the families that will be forever linked together by death. As you read these posts, you will see those who died together; some from the same states, and how these families now have to deal with their ultimate sacrifice. If ...
