Shoutout to the Redbulls!

Have a few photos to share of various 1-133rd soldiers courtesy of Redbull Web. I wanted to share them with everyone - and while you're browsing the pics of these fine men and women who are serving our military, take a moment out of your day and send them a note of support or say a prayer for their well being. They deserve that from all of us.





Also while you are out web surfing - have you checked out the site of Justice Soldier?

the people of India in its time of need.

Why is this important?

It is important because this is why all the people who
served and is serving in Iraq and Afghanstan believe
so strongly in what they are doing there

They fight against terror over there so we don't have
happen here what happened in India today.

It's why they Fight. It is why we should fight for
them and support them in every possible way.

Thank you.

ROLLING VICTORY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT! If you read nothing else on my blog - read this post!

Join me, along with the Tanker Brothers and Semper Gratus, Right Truth, and many others in our efforts to show a solid stand of support for our troops -- as we mock Cindy Sheehan's "Rolling Fast" -- you know where they just fast for ONE DAY and 'pass the fast' around Hollywood and the Code Pink gestapo... We are banding together to show that we do not agree with Cindy Sheehan's political rants!
YOU CAN HELP TOO! Pledge to fast for one day. Just one single day to show your support for those of us who would stand in Cindy's way.

Let's do this!
BACK OFF CINDY!
WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Soldier Ride National Tour 2006

While other people were enjoying their Fourth of July with barbecues, picnics, fireworks, concerts, and other celebrations, several cyclists, most of them wounded in the war on terrorism, took part in something absolutely commendable. They were taking part in Soldier Ride 2006, a cross-country cycling event to raise money and awareness for wounded servicemembers.
The theme of the 2006 cross-country ride is “America Still Remembers.” The ride is multi-funtional, serving to aid in the rehabilitation of veterans who return home with injuries incurred in the current military conflicts abroad. To quote the Soldier Ride website: "Participation in our cycling events provides these wounded warriors a foundation for the development of a positive self-image and outlook on life, which speeds the rehabilitation and recovery process...As the wounded service members participating in our ride cycle from city to city, we aim to show them that the country is still behind those who have sacrificed life or limb in support of our freedom. "
What an AWESOME event! The 2006 Soldier Ride will stop in over 70 cities across America -- it began on May 6th in Montauk, NY and will end on July 29th in San Diego, CA.
I applaud these people for their dedication to our wounded veterans.

Take a moment and check out their website!

Check out some of the ways that the presence of our troops is making a difference in Iraq!

• They have discovered and destroyed 10 weapons caches.

• They have captured over 30 insurgents and sent a majority of them to the Regional Detainment Facility.

• They have broken up two insurgent cells operating in their AO

• They have broken up a kidnapping ring.

• They have ambushed 3 IED teams as they attempted to place their cowardly weapons against their task force.

• They have logged over 450 combat patrols in their sector.

• They have virtually shut down all IDF coming into their camp.

• They have kept Rte Long Island clear of IEDs for one solid Month.

• They have started two school projects.

• They have started two community clean-up projects.

• Their mechanics have serviced or repaired over 600 vehicles.

• They have cleared through our ECPs over 27,000 vehicles with no incidents!

• Their Docs have treated more than 1,500 patients at the BAS.

• Their towers have successfully defended against indirect and direct fire attacks.

As you can see by the list above—they are making a positive difference. We often hear about all of the bad things happening in Iraq - but there are good things happening as well, and our men and women are getting some great things accomplished. They need to be recognized for the good things that they are doing.

HOOAH!
