30 Years Ago Today.....

[ths61]

One of my sons is a Staff Sargent in the Marines and is very proud of what he does and is...But, he tells me many, many, of his fellow soliders cannot stand the "jerk" in the White House now and don't trust or respect him at all...He has no integrity or honor and only excels at "lying" and promoting his radical, left wing liberal politics.....Sad what is happening to America......

Sad but true, just ask the families of Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty as BHO and HRC were shamelessly taking their photo op while lying over the deceased in their returning caskets. A true disgrace for America and for all our service men.

Gentlemen, thank you for your service to our country.

Graduation Day.

US Naval Academy, Class of 1985. Life altering education.

USMC pilot. Life altering career path.

30 years later - still has effects on my thoughts and actions.
"What would 'Ron' do?"

Here is a link to THE Commander-in-Chief's speech that day.
Words still ring true.
However, I'll bet a paycheck no current political candidate would utter these words for fear of MSM reprisal.

I did my 30 years active duty in the Army (1978-2008), and we will never have a better Commander-in-Chief than President Ronald Reagan. Congrats on being here to remember your 30th my Brother!

Thank a waiter for their service, thank a vet for their sacrifice. The minute they are inducted they pledge their lives because at any given moment they will use their body as a shield between you and the enemy. And whether they make it back or not they walk fearlessly into danger with no fanfare or praise. And to correct a well known, but in my opinion, grossly inaccurate phase "All Gave Some, Some Gave All" I don't think a soldier, or sailor, goes into battle saying to himself "I'm going to give some of myself." A better phrase is "All Gave All, Some Gave The Ultimate.". And in honor of all fallen vets who gave the ultimate I submit the ultimate Memorial Day Tribute IMHO:

These did not pass in selfishness;
they died for all mankind;
They died to build a better world
for all who stay behind;
And we who hold their memory dear,
and bring them flowers today,
Should consecrate ourselves once more
to live and die as they.


They were defenders of the faith
and guardians of the truth;
That you and I might live and love,
they gladly gave their youth;
And we who set this day apart
to honor them who sleep
Should pledge ourselves to hold the faith
they gave their lives to keep.


If tears are all we shed for them,
then they have died in vain;
If flowers are all we bring them,
forgotten they remain;
If by their courage we ourselves
to courage are not led,
Then needlessly these graves have closed
above our heroes dead.


To symbolize our love with flowers
is not enough to do;
We must be brave as they were brave,
and true as they were true.
They died to build a better world,
and we who mourn today
Should consecrate ourselves once more
to live and die as they

Attachment 14131 Is it any wonder the troops see him as a jerk?

The photo shows it all...This self-serving, useless "jerk" has absolutely no respect for our Military and is only concerned about his own political worthless left wing BS...What an "ASSHOLE"......

Thanks mate. I liked it a lot. Is that a taxfree original?

Steve, very impressed my friend!

Reagan and his kind are the last of an exemplary breed; the torch has been passed to the current generation and now it's up to us to similarly conduct ourselves with a wisdom and class worthy of being passed to the ones coming up behind us.


You're either an A-hole or a dimwit to do what this guy does:
