Think about that while you sit in your cushy office with the security guards.

That is a good one to make you think.I like the one about the anti-war activist,too :D

Scooterz 07-16-2008 04:08 PM

Amen... America is this.... it's not Obama, Hilary, or anti war pukes. It's about the hard blood that has been shed for us to live free!! To the HELL with the disrespectful liberal who thinks they are owed something.... he/she knows not ONE DAY of what our fine military does... & the irony of it is they die fighting so the whiners can complain about our country. God bless our soldiers!! To Obama & comapny: GO TO FRANCE....

olds48 07-17-2008 07:49 AM

Rigsby...I like you.But why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel,don't hold back on us!! :lol: Amen brother!!

Scooterz 07-17-2008 03:05 PM

Thanks Olds, I still think you may be a good president. Maybe you would be more elouquent than me. Anyways, i love seeing the patriotism on this site.. it is good to see.

Well said Rudy, I agree 100%, You got my vote :!: :!:

Scooterz 07-25-2008 04:39 PM

Good point Rudy! Hey- I got a 48 yr old Uncle in Iraq right now who was sent over there (Army) & carries the gun & armor just like the 20yr olds who is honored to serve... he getting older & I just ask you to pray for him... he has another year yet. His mane is "Sam Mize"... he has a great atittude given the circumstances. He told me in a letter: " I feel Honored to walk on the same ground where Jesus was long ago"... wow. He is carrying 90 to 100lbs of gear too. Says that he hopes to be be back, but no guarantees... said "just know that I love you all & I am proud to serve my country" he tells me he hopes he has a chance to play with my 2 kids (his neice & nephew 6&4yrs). Talk about persective of how good we got right now... brought tears to my eyes thinking if he will see my kids again. I get so damn PISSED when I see Obamas face now it makes me sick thinking of how he visited Iraq reciently & got out of the jet & did not salute or shake the hands of the troops who were there by him.... just got into a bullet proof truck & went to nearest safe building... SOB!!! Anyways, pray for Sam. Thank you all & God bless you. Rigsby.

Rudy, enjoyed the photos, keep up the great job. For the troops, stay safe and come back with your heads held high. You make us proud with your service and we appreciate your sacrifices. May God bless all of you.

john858 08-05-2008 11:23 AM

keepin it on top & thanks again guys

Scooterz 08-05-2008 01:07 PM

Yep, lets keeper going. my uncle just got sent to Germany from Iraq to serve as a temporary medical assistant. I guess sometimes they grab a soldier or two to help do medical runs or something. Anyways, my company (Bowtech) just sent a bunch of bows over to Iraq for the soldiers to shoot & have fun with while over there. Many of our bows are named after the Military like the Airborne 101st, 82nd, "the General", Commander, Allegiance, etc.. the soldiers seem to like our bows & we like to name them after our country & people who protect it. I got to have the pleasure of helping a Marine get a bow just the other day... told him thanks for the service. He was headed back for another tour in a month... God bless them all.

"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in
front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."

I had sorta forgotten about this thread....saw this quote somewhere made me think of it .
Rudy and the others that have loved ones in harms way...you should be very very proud. God bless them and keep them safe.

hollowayshotrods 09-05-2008 06:23 AM

God let me down on bringing Jay home safe, but I still pray for Curtis' son and all the other folks laying it on the line for us. Thanks again to all military personel past and present, with a special thanks to their famalies for all the sacrafices made.

Thanks for the prayers Rudy I know they must be helping, here is something that happened last month where my son is.

You know I share your pain and your son is safe with God now, even if that is such a small thing to hold on to.

Wow I'm sorry.... you surely have said that before and I must have missed it. :(

hollowayshotrods 09-05-2008 12:49 PM

Don't be sorry brother, your prayers were just shifted to another hero :!: :)

God didn't let you down Big Rudy,he just had different plans than you did. :wink:

hollowayshotrods 09-05-2008 03:32 PM

It would be nice if I could feel that way. Maybe with time, but right now I am a bit pissed at Him. Thanks for the kind words my friend. :)

hollowayshotrods 09-07-2008 06:42 AM

Good morning men, more food for thought. :) I am sure the hotty will garner many votes because of that!

I got some good news that my son may be coming home sooner than planned. Not sure exactly when yet but it was going to be next April.

Curtis

hollowayshotrods 09-08-2008 06:26 AM

Curtis,
It looks to me as if our American forces have taught the Afghan National Army commandos how to take care of business, that is bad news for the Taliban!! I can only imagine their faces when the helicopter gunships rained hell upon them!! Priceless!

Men, whether you like it or not, we, The United States of America has to be the police of the world. If we weren't, the world would be total chaos.

This is the last known picture taken of Jay, I have been told it was within hours of Jay being killed. I am not trying to bring sadness or pity to myself or family, I occasionally need to write or talk about him to keep from going over the edge. Thanks men! :(

curtisreed 09-11-2008 04:06 AM

Hey Rudy,
Anytime you need to talk, vent, BRAG about him or whatever, I'll be her on the forum or you can PM me. Keep fighting to good fight brother. Also know that there are others here that will never forget your and Jay's sacrifice.

Curtis

hollowayshotrods 09-11-2008 04:31 AM

Curtis,
Thanks for being a friend. It gets very difficult at times to get through the day without breaking down, especially when the weather is bad. I have no clue as to why they are related, but you can believe the weather and sadness work together. I will be fine as soon as my pit crew and crew chief (wife) return home safely at the end of the day. :)
This picture was about 1 year before he joined the USMC, he is saddling Bucky up for a ride. We sure miss you Jay!
