New Site

Okay, the new site is up. I’m sure I already said this. But, if you’d like to start migrating over there I’m publishing actively there as well. Hopefully, by Monday I’ll have it at an 80% [...]

Care Packages

Jean-Paul over at The National Guard Experience recently posted comments about care packages. While his comments were made in jest, I’d like to alleve any bad feelings it produced in those of you who support soldiers [...]

New Banner? version2

Here’s a much better version. [...]

Banner For New Blog

I created this as the new masthead for the new site. I’d like to get people’s opinions (honest opinions good and bad) about it. You can click on the picture to see a bigger version. [...]

The Cost of Fighting For Our Rights

(Note: I’m also posting this stuff on my new site as a test bed. The site is up and running, just doesn’t look how I want it to yet. I’m working on the layout and transferring [...]

What the…..?

My gosh, this is harder than I thought. I have no idea how to change anything in here. Please be patient, I’m working on it. WordPress is a whole new animal. It’s like teaching a baby [...]

The Pulse In Our Veins

al-Zarqawi released a statement on the internet today vowing that they will not rest in the insurgency as long as American soldiers were in Iraq. He said that he will continue to target us and anyone [...]

Sick, Tired and Painful

Sorry, I haven’t posted much the past couple of days, but I haven’t been feeling too well. Wednesday I started having extremely painful back spasms. It got to the point I couldn’t sit nor stand. I [...]

I Punched Saddam

Well, not me, though I wish I had. It seems lately I get all the good news from other sources and I’m a little behind the power curve (first with the Ben Stein thing, then this). [...]

New Site In The Works

Yesterday, I purchased the domain name www.soldiersperspective.us in order to have more control over my blog. It’s mine for at least three years, and I plan to keep it up as long as I’m in the [...]

The Real Stars

This was first brought to my attention at the Adopt A Platoon website. Ben Stein used to write a column called Monday Night at Morton’s. In his last column, titled “How Can Someone Who Lives In [...]

Pacifists

I’m not a warmonger, but there are times for talk and there are times for fighting. You can’t talk your way out of EVERY situation. What the pacifists seem to forget is that we gave ample [...]

Big Red Is Good!!

No, not the bubble gum. (sidenote: I can barely type because I just got done with a 40 minute power walk. So, what you can’t see is how many typos I’m making as I type this) [...]

More Armor Questions

While this story is one that should be told, my readers need to understand that incidents spoken of are about a year old. The story (published today) will falsely lead people to believe that we have [...]

Janell & Family

We went to visit a wonderful person whom I’ve known since my deployment to Iraq. Janell supported me and my family while I was deployed and we’ve become great friends. We actually got to go down [...]
