I have nothing more to say today than a hearty “thank you” to all the veterans who have served this country so bravely and valiantly. There is no more a fitting tribute than Trace Adkins singing his hit song, ‘Till the Last Shot’s Fired‘ at an earlier Academy of Country Music Awards show.
And thank you to the West Point Glee Club who accompanied Trace on this song. If you don’t need a tissue while watching this video, you don’t have a soul. God bless our men and women who have served, and continue to provide us the freedoms we so often take for granted.
And a BIG thank you to Trace Adkins. Love you, man.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps present the 236th Marine Corps birthday message and honor the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and how the events shaped the lives of Marines past and present.
When all else fails, and you need results.. call in the United States Marines. Hooah!
Today on such a solemn occasion, Megyn Kelly was on the air for an extended weekend version of America Live to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. This has to be one of the most poignant and moving segments of any of the shows today, and of course it had to be on the best daytime cable show, Megyn Kelly’s America Live.
Megyn’s guest was Alice Hoagland, who is the mother of Mark Bingham (although the chyron, I believe, incorrectly indicated his name as Matt Bingham), one of the heroes of United flight 93, and she has been one of the most vocal proponents of the heroes of flight 93.
Bingham, along with Jeremy Glick and Todd Beamer, were just 3 of the stalwart patriots who decided to take charge and be the deciders of their own fates. They all knew they were probably going to die, but refused to let it happen on the terrorists’ terms. They recruited as many willing passengers aboard United 93 as they could to gather with them, collect make-shift weapons, and summon the courage and will to rush the terrorists, reclaim the cockpit and control of the airplane, and most likely save the lives of hundreds on the ground in D.C. They did so selflessly, probably knowing all too well their fates were sealed.
God bless Alice Hoagland and all the families of those lost that day, but particularly the friends and families of those first warriors of the 21st Century, specifically in the Global War on Terror who decided to fight back against all odds.
As is said in John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
This weekend on John Stossel’s show, he talked with Gary Sinise about all the philanthropic work he’s done with the troops, as well as the patriotic themes often seen on his hit show “CSY: NY.” Gary Sinise is one fantastic American, and I never knew just how many groups he was involved with until I saw this special with Stossel.
Honestly, when does this man sleep? Either way, I salute Gary Sinise and thank God for giving us such a special human being to look up to. If each of us could only give a 10th of what Gary Sinise gives to our fellow man, the whole world would be a brighter place.
On the Saturday special show of Huckabee, he had on a very special guest who was also a hero during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks at ground zero: search and rescue K9 Kaiser and his handler Tony Zintsmaster from Indiana.
Kaiser spent 10 days on the pile, and is only one of a dozen or so search and rescue K9s who are still around today. Kaiser was injured during a building search of WTC Building 7, but came out with an eager attitude to keep going, even though he was bleeding from that wound he received inside the building.
Kaiser is just one of many of the unsung heroes that day that helped find the remains of the dead, although he would have preferred to have found the ones who were still alive yet needing rescue. Although the human heroes will always be in our thoughts and prayers, we must never forget the K9 companions who helped their handlers do their job, often at great risk of their own well-being.
Welcome
