We need to be aware of things going on around us ...

I don't usually do this, but I question the intelligence, motive, insanity...whatever ... of a governor's veto of a bill that would prohibit the Chinese government (thru proxies) from buying up land immediately next to or in close proximity to strategic US facilities like military bases, nuclear power plants and other critical manufacturing facilities. Absolutely unbelievable.

If, as many believe, China is currently our number 1 enemy, can this be seen as giving aid and comfort to our enemy? Flip the script -- what do you think the chances of the US buying up land next to similar facilities in their country. Yep -- when pigs fly.

Hey Arizona governor -- WAKE UP!!! What about you, Ohio ??

 

P.S. Want to guess who made your solar panels? and who now has access to all of the U.S.'s power grid? and who was sneaking a potentially deadly fungus into the U of M agriculture lab that could wipe out our grain crops?

Hey America -- WAKE UP !!!

 

When my wife and I go out for a walk, I always tell we need to be aware of our surroundings. Looks like some people need to learn that lesson.

If you still have yours, honor him on this day...

 

Yep, Yep, Yep ...

Pretty much what I've been saying for about 40 years now!!

Back in the day...

Boy does this remind me of being at Ft. Chaffee one afternoon completing a land nav. course. Only thing missing from this picture is the CSM shooting his .45 at a couple of cottenmouths checking him out. What a day!!
(P.S. He wasn't even close to them -- he was running out of the water too fast to get a good sight picture!!) 🤣😂

I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight. (George S. Patton)

Just another reminder of the importance of Memorial Day and what it means...

My father served in the Army in the Field Artillery and, obviously, he made it home.  We had a good life.  I also had two uncles who served in WWII -- one made it home after being a Navy pilot, and one died in battle as he served in the Navy (His ship was destroyed in the Pacific and his body was never recovered.).

So on this day and many others, I pray for Joe, Frank and Walter and think of what is, what was, and what never came about.  May they all three rest in peace.

Joe and Frank were truly shining stars in my eyes; but Walter's light was snuffed out much too soon.

Thought for the day ...

Memorial Day post #2 ...

This is the second of three videos I am posting regarding Memorial Day where we honor and remember those who gave their life in the service to our country.
