Thanks for posting, Dave. Hope everyone will take some time tomorrow to reflect on the sacrifices of those who didn't make it back as well as the sacrifices of their families. Also remember the ones who are still missing in action. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Heard a comment that made me think. It just takes one bullet to honor your armed services member on Memorial Day or Veterans Day.

Conservative Tribune Frmr Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw’s Memorial Day Story Is Going Viral By Shaun Hair Published May 27, 2019 at 1:10pm Modified May 27, 2019 at 2:00pm Share on Facebook Tweet Rep. Dan Crenshaw is an American hero. He is no stranger to sacrifice for the sake of country. In honor of Memorial Day, Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, tweeted a story about his close friends who lost their lives serving. “Be strong. Be accountable. Never complain,” Crenshaw wrote about Looney. Next, Crenshaw spoke of Pat Feeks. Using military jargon for “joint terminal air controller” — the ground fighter who coordinates with close air support — Crenshaw recalled that Feeks was one of “the best JTACs out there” and the “Best story teller I ever met.” Dave Warsen was next in Crenshaw’s tale of American heroes. Warsen was the “strongest guy in the platoon and also the happiest.” Crenshaw wrote that he and Warsen spent a lot of time together in Afghanistan where they sometimes played volleyball on courts that were “half sand, half rock.” Crenshaw then tweeted about his roommate, Kevin Ebbert. According to Crenshaw, Ebbert was “one of the smartest, most capable, kindest SEALs I ever knew.” He was also a talented medic and committed husband. Brad Cavner was “cool, collected and a great operator,” wrote Crenshaw. Crenshaw credited Cavner with teaching him how to shoot left-handed after the loss of his right eye. “It’s all about the Brotherhood,” said Crenshaw. The most motivating and entertaining guy in Crenshaw’s class was Brett Marihugh, according to Crenshaw’s series of tweets. Marihugh “told stories for hours” about his days as a police officer. He pretended to be a medic to sneak into the hospital in Afghanistan to see Crenshaw after the IED wound. Lastly, Crenshaw recounted how Charles Keating IV, aka “Chuck Heavy,” sacrificed his life to protect his team. Keating was a Navy Cross recipient and, as Crenshaw put it, an epic hero. Taken together, these short snapshots amount to a story of heroism every American should be grateful for. It is stories like these that remind the free people of the nation why we celebrate Memorial Day. There has been great pain, priceless sacrifice, epic courage and unparalleled brotherhood that paved the way for our freedoms. We must always remember those who defended our nation. A patriot like Crenshaw deserves a huge debt of gratitude not only for his sacrifice but for reminding us all what the faces of our heroes look like. Let us never forget.

This is the day to remember all those who gave their all for this great country of ours. This is a Memorial Day, in memory of those that died for us. Not for those who serve, or for those of us who had served. It is for those that we cannot shake their hands or pat them on the back and say 'Thank You". Remember the fallen........for without them, so goes our freedom(s). ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
