Both places much in common as in Listen-up, pay attention do notice who’s at the head of that table,

a Marine surrounded by Armydogs

First order of business, what other kind of paint would a Marine use besides KILZ, that’s right right there. Ladies, I’m here to tell you, if I was charge of things, through Decree or an EO, no Woman would have no more than 3 sets of dishes in her possession at any one time, one for good times, one for sad times, and one for dating such as a picnic basket which contain paper plates that work just fine. Yes… I’m still moving out dishes, sets of them. what you see are only the serving parts, not the full sets that match each one of those plates.

Now that fluff has been delt with, on to important stuff: the other day, taking a break of using the KILZ, I seen a headline:

Watchdog group demands answers to US Army training labeling pro-life groups ‘terrorists’

One of the slides in the presentation cited the pro-life groups National Right to Life and Operation Rescue as examples of terrorist groups. In addition to sidewalk counseling or supporting pregnancy resource centers through Choose Life license plates, the slides also cited opposition to Roe v. Wade as a potential terrorist trait.

I know what this Man is thinking “Carpe diem” little brother,

it’s then Gunny Ermey came to mind

Come on you little maggot, let me hear your war cry, that ain’t no War cry, now let me hear your real War cry!.

That’ll do

Army issued, been to France and back

Pay no mind to the books, still moving dishes, I’ll get to the books, some history, she had blown out her shoulder deer hunting with a 30.06, she took down a nice 6 pointer, that ended her days of hunting at 86 years of age. She was bummed out about no more hunting, Marine Corps training kicked in, told her about you write your story, there needs to be a record of it. She thought that was good idea, even from me. So, she did, out at deer camp 🙂

Took a book from one of her shelves

All kinds of books everywhere, the one on the left, the Man who knew Kennedy, that party traded a Kennedy for a drunk cackling hyaena, some trade that was.

(inserts a just so you know).

All dogs go to Heaven

If you never read the book standing up, find it and read it.

Pulled another book laying on top of the others:

What sort of Man carried that Army issued New Testament, this kind:

Grampa, mother’s side

There are stories in her book from the 20’s, 30’s and forties, all kinds of stories

Mathew 18:6 came to mind while ending this confab of sorts

Over Black Coffee and Gunpowder Tea

served with 

There is a new version of what FEMA means; Feeding Every Miscreant Alien.

What our lives are like with our four footed friends.

I am continuing with Israeli artists. Today we have Reuven Rubin – Safed in the Galilee.

It’s that time again. Sit back and enjoy MVAPs weekly foray into the lighter side of the innerwebz. . .

Let me introduce a WWII hero. Private John R Towle who was a paratrooper assigned to the 82nd Airborne and received the MoH for his actions during Operation Market Garden.

Private John Roderick Towle (October 19, 1924 – September 21, 1944) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military’s highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Towle joined the United States Army from his birth city of Cleveland, Ohio in March 1943, during World War II, He volunteered for the paratroopers, part of the U.S. Army’s fledgling airborne forces, and was assigned to Company ‘C’ of the 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 82nd “All American” Airborne Division. On September 21, 1944, during Operation Market Garden, near Oosterhout in the Netherlands during the operation, Towle engaged a German force with his rocket launcher in an attempt to disable two enemy tanks and a half-track. He was killed during the battle. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor six months later, on March 15, 1945.

Private Towle’s official Medal of Honor citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 21 September 1944, near Oosterhout, Holland. The rifle company in which Pvt. Towle served as rocket launcher gunner was occupying a defensive position in the west sector of the recently established Nijmegen bridgehead when a strong enemy force of approximately 100 infantry supported by 2 tanks and a half-track formed for a counterattack. With full knowledge of the disastrous consequences resulting not only to his company but to the entire bridgehead by an enemy breakthrough, Pvt. Towle immediately and without orders left his foxhole and moved 200 yards in the face of intense small-arms fire to a position on an exposed dike roadbed. From this precarious position Pvt. Towle fired his rocket launcher at and hit both tanks to his immediate front. Armored skirting on both tanks prevented penetration by the projectiles, but both vehicles withdrew slightly damaged. Still under intense fire and fully exposed to the enemy, Pvt. Towle then engaged a nearby house which 9 Germans had entered and were using as a strongpoint and with 1 round killed all 9. Hurriedly replenishing his supply of ammunition, Pvt. Towle, motivated only by his high conception of duty which called for the destruction of the enemy at any cost, then rushed approximately 125 yards through grazing enemy fire to an exposed position from which he could engage the enemy half-track with his rocket launcher. While in a kneeling position preparatory to firing on the enemy vehicle, Pvt. Towle was mortally wounded by a mortar shell. By his heroic tenacity, at the price of his life, Pvt. Towle saved the lives of many of his comrades and was directly instrumental in breaking up the enemy counterattack.

Towle, aged 19 at his death, was buried at Calvary Cemetery in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.

The USNS Private John R. Towle (T-AK-240) was named in his honor.

That’s a 1982 shovelhead Harley, time is tight today, don’t know if this true or not, maybe others know something about the situation, I’m not one to feed the rumor mill. I did ponder scenarios with a coffee of course.

In what feels like a bit of a throwback, members of the press are in the midst of a meltdown over Donald Trump’s trip to Arlington National Cemetery. 

As RedState reported, the former president attended a ceremony for the service members killed in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. He was invited by the Gold Star families to participate, many of which have justifiably criticized the nonchalance and lack of accountability from the Biden administration.

The current president infamously checked his watch multiple times while receiving the bodies of the deceased servicemembers at Dover Air Force Base. He also repeatedly brought up his son, who died of cancer years after leaving the military, in a way that many of the family members of the fallen found insulting and dismissive.

In other words, if there’s anything to be up and arms about, it’s the fact that the Biden administration, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, have repeatedly shunned these Gold Star families. So what’s MSNBC reporting on? The supposed scandal of Trump showing up after being asked to.

It’s hard to fathom the level of unearned arrogance that would lead a cable news talking head to essentially trash the Gold Star families who wanted Trump to be there. I can only assume their opinions are irrelevant in the face of the collective moral superiority of Mike Barnicle and Joe Scarborough.

There are conflicting reports about whether Harris and Biden were personally invited to the event, but what I do know is that both could have spoken publicly about the anniversary. Neither of them did, with Biden remaining on the second week of his vacation while Harris held no other events. To then make the issue about Trump, who showed up to honor the fallen, is ridiculous.

One of the complaints centers on Trump taking a smiling picture with the Gold Star families. Talk about nitpicking. Yes, Arlington National Cemetery is a solemn place, but when those who lost loved ones want to take a picture, you take the picture. That should be far down the list of things to be outraged over for any intellectually honest person. 

This is the American press, though, so instead of focusing on Harris being responsible for the disastrous withdrawal that got these servicemembers killed (she took direct credit for it), the outrage is directed at the one guy who has dared to say their names and be there when the families called.
