Hawaii Five-Oops ?

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific , located in Punchbowl Crater just north of Honolulu, is the final resting place of over 30,000 veterans of World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam.

And it is the site of an unforgivable show of disrespect to not only every veteran interred there, especially the ones whose graves were trod all over, but also to the 23 veterans who survived the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor who were special guests that day.

Xmas at Arlington

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell...

Every December since 1992, volunteers have laid holiday wreaths donated by the  Worcester Wreath Company  of Harrington, Maine, at the headstones of over 5,000 of America's honored dead.

In 2006, the project was expanded into  Wreaths Across America  

In 2009, volunteers placed over 16,000 wreaths at Arlington and other memorial sites across America.

 

Ft Hood Massacre = Workplace Violence ?

During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Dec 7th, Senator Susan Collins (ME/R) blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and criticized the Barack Hussein Obama administration for failing to identify the threat from radical Islam.

She (correctly) suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.


This is the ultimate example of what is wrong with Barack Hussein Obama and his Administration -aka- the Insane Clowns of the Circus of Ineptitude.

Ft Hood Massacre = not Terrorism

Obummer Defined

This sums up NoBama:

Hypocritical,  Incoherent, and  Unpresidential

 "Obama’s hypocrisy is built on a foundation of incoherence. This is not surprising. As a candidate and president, he has been as constant as a second is long."

Holidaze

The other day one of our local news readers remarked that our local pro basketball players will be playing out of town on Christmas Day and thus won't be spending the Holiday with their families.

And he sounded as if I should be sad about this.

 

Really,  George ?  

I'm just so upset that millionaire sports players may have to spend Xmas eve in a luxury hotel away from their multi-million dollar mansions, that I don't know what to do.  < sarcasm

Oh, wait.

I could send Xmas packages and cards to the thousands of U.S. Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen who are serving their country overseas.  

 

They aren't staying in luxury hotels nor cashing paychecks with lots of zeros.

 

Their families aren't with them either.
