THIS PART YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT SHOULD. AMERICAN VALOR, BENGHAZI, LYBIA: The stunning part of this story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction. The news has been full of the attacks on our embassies throughout the Muslim world, and in particular, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya. However, there’s a little known story of incredible bravery, heroics, and courage that should be the top story. So what actually happened at the U.S. embassy in Libya? We are learning more about this every day. Ambassador Stevens and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, along with administrative staff, were working out of temporary quarters due to the fact that in the spring of 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, the United States cut ties with then president Moammar Gadhafi. Our embassy was loot...

Here are some great shots of War II using B-29 Bombers and P-51 Mustangs to destroy targets in Japan. A 36 minute film, including thumbnail clips. This is spectacular live footage of the 3,000 mile round trip air assault on the Japanese mainland with three bomber wings and a host of P-51's. No matter what war footage you've seen before, this is the real deal and will keep your undivided attention. The strafing runs by the P-51 flyers at the end were incredible. A great compilation of combat footage from WWII. The beginning is the planning and preparation for the bombing raids on Tokyo. At about 15-16 minutes they are running into flak as they prepare to hit the targets. This was a time when men definitely were MEN! It is obvious when you see our stockpiles on the islands that our industrial production sealed the fate of our enemies. We don't send a lot of our officers to ICAF (Aeronautical fatigue), but that course might be as valuable as Air War College to the successf...

There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos. (all angles) of the rock. I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too. Here's the artist: Ray "Bubba" Sorensen. AWESOME Work, RAY ... Thank you! Pass it on. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

One of Maxine's best!!!!!!!!! Minorities We need to show more sympathy for these people. * They travel miles in the heat.. * They risk their lives crossing a border. * They don't get paid enough wages.. * They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do. * They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language. * They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day. I'm not talking about the damned illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops.
