Cpl. Joe L. Wrighsman - America's Hero

Take a few minutes and go to America‘s 1st Sgt‘s site here and read about a true hero.

We are so blessed that there are young men of this caliber walking among us. Without any regard for his own safety, he went to the aid of another who was not a Marine nor an American.

And the men who went to their aide are just as brave. As are all our guys and gals serving our country and sacrificing for a greater cause. Bless'em all!

God best this Marine and may he have light duty guarding Heavens Gates. And I pray for peace and loving care for the family he left behind.

Simper Fi, Cpl. Joe L. Wrightsman! Well done!

FYI - The 3rd Marines, 3 Battalion is know as America's Battalion. Thus America's 1st Sgt and America’s Hero.

Col Bob Howard - A True Hero

We lost a true American Hero. He was not well known as in Hollywood fame, but well know and respected, if not awed, by those who follow military history.

Robert Lewis (Bob) Howard (July 11, 1939 – December 23, 2009) was a highly decorated United States Army soldier and Medal of Honor recipient of the Vietnam War. He was wounded 14 times over 54 months of combat, was awarded 8 Purple Hearts, 4 Bronze Stars, and was nominated for the Medal of Honor three separate times. He was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetary on February 22, 2010.


I wish I could have shaken his hand just once.
