Air Force War Funding Talking Points…
Noah Shactman at Wired’s Danger Room (a great new miltiary tech blog) obtained a copy of the USAF’s talking points for acquiring more funding. They boil down to the essense of “we’re at war, too!” While I agree that the……
I have read about Jason Cunningham in “None Braver” and “Roberts Ridge” and I stumbled onto your site after it was featured on Michelle Malkin’s blog. I am extremely proud of all men and women who fight in the War on Terrorism and they will continue to receive my un-ending support no matter what terrible stories the media continues to focus on.
Jason is a true warrior and American hero. He lived up to the motto “So that others may live”. Jason’s story is one of the most inspirational stories I have read from any conflict. He stands as a reminder for all people of what the human spirit can do and endure. Jason is one of those stories that will forever be emblazoned in my mind and I will teach those morals and fortitude that he showed on that mountaintop to my kids so that they may be the kind of person Jason was.
God bless you Jason and God bless your family for their sacrifice.
