"19"....The song...

Well Sir...fer those of ya that kinda follow the Cookie's daily posts with any regularity, y'all have probably noticed that one of my best, and most consistant contributors is Susan Gertson from Eagle Lake, Texas.

Now Sir...as parents...Susan and her husband Gayle have made the ultimate sacrifice for this great Nation...they lost their beloved son Clint in Iraq. I've posted about this hero son before...but the Gertsons have another son as well, Matt, and in the below video, at the 1:35 minute mark, you'll observe one brave soldier carrying a wounded compadre on his back and shoulder's...that is their son Matt....



I am reminded of something that General George S. Patton once stated.....

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

George S. Patton

MAY GOD BLESS ALL OUR COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY..... and Thank You one and all....
