Lance Corporal Tony Sledd was the U.S. Marine killed in Kuwait yesterday. All my condolences to his family, friends, and fellow Marines. My Senior Drill Instructor, Sgt. Reid, once told me that "Marines die in combat so that others may die of old age."

R.I.P.

With sincere regret...................


The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.



Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

My heart is heavy with this terrible news.

Mere words can not express how I feel about this. Another Wariorr coming home on his shield. Certainly not a "good" thing, and yet a noble, PROUD thing.

Was glad to see the way the attackers were dealt with, no 3 squares a day for those bastards! Rot in Hell!

That is very comforting Ukmitch.
Thanks DM for putting up the Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
The Marines are the best.
They're always the first ones in...and the last ones out.

Rumsfeld was asked at a briefing the other day, Maybe the Iragis would stop fireing at our planes if we would stop bombing Iraq!!!!

Which left him a bit speechless for a moment.....

It's absolutly amazing how some can turn things upside down to make an argument in favor of their own cause.

It seems there have been near one hundred events that our planes were fired upon....

My heartfelt condolences and my appreciation to him for his service.

My prayers for him and his loved ones.
