Blog is acting up because of a server glitch. It was down for awhile and now the comments have disappeared but they are still in the database…so no fear, all 92k comments will be back up as soon as possible. It appears the ability to leave comments are jacked up too….hopefully will be up soon.
UPDATE
All fixed….

I’m gonna put this here just cuz I would like you all to see it.
It’s a video of the 1st Battalion 6th Marines, just before they mount-up and took Marjah
My son John is in 1st Battalion, 11th Marines, and will be supporting them with artillery about 6 miles S/W of the town. He’ll be there at the end of next month, and be home around Thanksgiving.
From the video notes:
Not your normal “Mot Video” but this video will make you think twice about the men and women in the Marine Corps. Against GySgt Wallgreens request I recorded his speach in secret….. the result is this awesome video with the last words we heard before boarding helos and heading into the heart of Marjeh. Have you ever wondered how Marines get pumped up? This video will show you how true leaders inspire their Marines to do the unthinkable.

Thank him everyday for us Pat, if that’s not a job, it must be one heck of a vacation, plush accomodations that even accepts pets, fine decor, excellent food, enough drinks and dessert to share, airfare included. Terrific video, thanks for sharing! I see “thebronze” was there and left a short comment, he knows who the good guys are.
