Wow. What a fitting tribute to a fellow warrior. Gave me chills.

Kiwis give a farewell HAKA to a fallen comrade
As a huge fan of the All Blacks, this one got to me...if you don't know what the Haka (traditional Maori war dance) is, go here to watch the All Blacks do one before a match. Here, New Zealand soldiers perform a Haka to say farewell to a Fallen comrade:
Liked, shared, tweeted & all that good stuff. :)

This all begins with Mike Yon's essay about arming medevac birds and removing the red crosses. I'll put the responses from the ISAF PAO (in Afghanistan) after the jump. Now, pull up a seat and go over to the excellent forum at Professional Soldiers and read the whole thread discussing the artic...

Riding the Jingle Bus
I distinctively remember a rather interesting ride to the airport following a SpouseBuzz Live weekend. AWTM and I were sharing the ride with another SB writer and a total stranger who, apparently, had hours and hours and HOURS until her flight because she took her sweet time traipsing to the...
May Mr. Kemp rest in peace and his family be comforted by their memories of him.
As an aside to this post's writer--learn to cull what is worth mention and what is not. Simply because a fact exists doesn't make it worth mentioning in every context.
Much like memorial services should not become political rallies, a memorial post should concentrate on the subject.

Her flag, her property, sure. I've just never understood the stupidity necessary to equate desecrating/misusing the flag (the symbol of your freedoms and liberties) to 'exercise' your freedom of speech.
Hubs hands out the government guidelines for proper displays of the flag on a regular basis. He would not be able to let this stand; I'm sure there are ways to exercise our own liberties and freedoms to offer her a dose of public shaming. Although when you are this blatantly looney, good luck combatting that brand of freak.

Would you let this in your neighborhood??
Well, I just had to post this one. Idiots like this really, really get me going. Really. I'm a true believer of expressing one's beliefs, and let enough alone, for the most part. BUT, when you start doing activities like this, I believe you have completely crossed the line... Would you let...
