These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

But beware the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression.

The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow,
quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the

dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Consume you it will.

The American Flag Does Not Need Wind To Move

The American flag does not fly because the wind moves past it...the American flag flies from the last breath of each military member who has died protecting it. American military members don't fight because they hate what's in front of them...they fight because they love what's behind them. Re-Post this if you Support your Troops!!

Col. Van T. Barfoot
Col. Van T. Barfoot
91 years old from Henrico County, Virginia
157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division
U.S. Army

In December 2009 Van T. Barfoot made national headlines when he wanted to fly his American flag in his yard but was told to take it down by his homeowners association. It's still flying proudly today. But that's just one small event in the life of Mr. Barfoot. Long before he decided to fly that flag he defended it during W.W.II.

Barfoot joined the Army in 1940 and was shipped to Italy in 1943 where distinguished himself in 1944 when, in the course of a single day, he advanced alone through a minefield, took out a German machine gun with a hand grenade, single handily killed eight German soldiers, captured seventeen, disabled a tank with a bazooka and then returned to his own lines and helped two of his own wounded squad members. All which earned him the Medal Of Honor. So it comes as no surprise that when he wanted to fly the American fly he wasn't going to take no for an answer.
