Soldiers

I featured Joe Bachman on Brand New With Barnes today and while researching this new artist, I came across one of the greatest tribute songs I have ever heard.

'Boots On The Ground' is one of those things you are grateful that exists, but you wish it didn't, and you especially don't want to see it come to your hometown, but glad it will.

At first glance it just looks like a drawing of the Statue of Liberty. When you look closer, what you see is amazing and the story behind it is as well.

Here's another reminder of how grateful we should be to the men and women who serve our country.

Hold on, don't jump too quickly to frustration and anger, hear me out. And know in the end, I am merely thinking out loud, I don't really know what I would do if I were an actual decision maker, but it does seem like parenting.

It was on Sunday, the 7th of October, 2001. Shells began to rain down in the Middle East as we began our war on terror with Operation Enduring Freedom; originally called Operation Infinite Justice. President Bush warned us it would be a long process but hasn't it been long enough?

Tim McGraw once again joined forces with both Operation Homefront and Outback Steakhouse, surprising vets and their families during lunch. McGraw took time out of his schedule to fraternize with military members over the Memorial Day holiday weekend so he could express his appreciation, face to face, since they do so much to keep America free.

There are many organizations who focus on the needs of our Military men and woman regardless of deployment or being state-side. American Military Family is one of the best and today I want to introduce you to The Landstuhl Hospital Care Project.

It's 'Red Shirt Friday' and if you're not sure what that is, then read on my friends.

I think in today's digital fueled society, we tend to take shortcuts with just about everything; especially when it come to reading. Take this sign for example.

A few weeks ago I wanted to start a feature that honored those in our lives who served in the military either recently or years ago. It's true that most, if not all who served our country, really don't want or care for any recognition but that doesn't mean that friends, family and loved ones can't say thanks.

Typically, this is where you would see my Monday "Killed In Action" Honor Post. From what I can tell, without lots of research, today marks the second week in a row, in over 3 years, that not one single soul lost his/her life while fighting overseas; something we can all be thankful for. We can also be thankful for this...
