This was the pre-race ceremony dedicated to the memories of those lost on 9/11, as well as those who served and continue to serve in the U.S. Military both at home and abroad.
This was at the Richmond Wonderful Pistachios 400 race on Saturday.

Help Support Our Veterans in Houston Retain Their Religious Freedom During Traditional Ceremonies (VIDEO)
Please share this with your friends. This is an abomination and we should be, as a nation, ashamed of ourselves if we can’t stop this PC mindlessness. From the “Don’t Tear Us Down” website:
Officials at the Houston National Cemetery have banned the VFW Honor Guards from performing the entire VFW burial ritual, which includes prayers and speeches by the Commander and Chaplain, which reference “God,” at military funerals.
If this doesn’t qualify as an outrage, then nothing does. Please go to their website and sign the petition. NOW! Also check out the other videos while you’re there.
Enough is enough!

Bret Baier Makes the Warrior 100K Bike Ride With George W. Bush & Some Wounded Warriors (VIDEO)
From the Warrior 100K Ride homepage:
As part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s Social Enterprise Initiative, the Warrior 100K Bike Ride highlighted the bravery and physical strength of the warriors wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan, as well as those organizations that have made continuing commitments to supporting America’s heroes.
The three day event provided an opportunity for military support organizations to highlight their good work and was sponsored by several companies and individuals that have generously contributed their time and resources to support America’s servicemen and women.
Fox News’ Bret Baier joined along in the ride, and reported back on this fantastic cause and the ride itself. Some of the heroes in the story were U.S. Army Specialist Juan Carlos Hernandez, Army Sgt. Major Chris Self, Marine SSgt. Andy Hatcher, Army Sgt. Sam Cila, and Army Specialist Jacob Lerner. The ride took place from April 25th to the 27th of this year.
This bike ride was through the desert southwest part of Texas, and by all accounts was a grueling trek. But even though some sustained damage to their prostheses, or were injured during the ride, there wasn’t a single one who complained. I love to see W. interact with our troops…the relationship is obviously a warm one, and the friendships are felt both ways.
I really admire President Bush and, even more, our heroic men and women in the military who have sacrificed more than most of us can imagine. I hope you all took a few moments of your holiday today and this weekend, and said some prayers and thank-yous to all of them.
By the way, there are many other videos you should check out over on the 100K ride page.
God bless he U.S.A.

Amazing Artist Kaziah Hancock Reveals Newest Portrait on The View (VIDEO)
I’m sure that y’all have heard about this wonderful painter, Kaziah Hancock, but if you haven’t, she and her team paint portraits of fallen soldiers, and gives them to the family members as sweet, precious gifts.
Kaziah was on The View today, and she was ready to reveal her newest portrait to Lisa Beckerman McGregor, whose son, Michael Beckerman, was killed in Afghanistan when insurgents attacked his unit with an IED only five months earlier.
Kaziah has a true servant’s heart, and it almost feels like she’s adopted all the families she’s helped. As Elisabeth tearfully notes, it’s very touching that Lisa notes it’s like Kaziah “gives them back for a moment.”
If you want to help Kaziah and her team continue to paint these portraits, please visit their website and do what you can.
