Hippocrates once said, "Art is long, life is short".
Cpl. Jeremy David Allbaugh lived a short life. But, he was immortalized recently in acrylics by a Lance Cpl. Jamieson who painted a mural in his honor.
"I feel sad because it is for him, but it makes me happy because I can still do something for him," said Lance Cpl. Jamieson. "I thought about it during the ceremony in the chapel. I looked up at the stained glass windows and I thought 'I should do something like that'".
Along with help from family, a fellow Marine and a Morale, Wefare and Recreation manager, Jamieson had the paint and tools needed.
"I would paint eight or nine hours in the gym and time would fly by," Jamieson said.
Cpl. Jeremy David Allbaugh, 21 years old from Luther, Oklahoma, was killed by a roadside bomb on July 5, 2007 while conducting combat operations in Qaim, Iraq.
"He believed very strongly in what our country's doing," said his mother, Jenifer Allbaugh. "They were doing good things over there, and we don't see that in the news or media. There's a lot of progress being made. I wish more people would talk to our boys who are in it and not our politicians because they see it firsthand".
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Free Speech or Treason?
As most of you are aware, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been in the USA for the last couple days. Yesterday was his infamous speech at Columbia University. Many have criticized Columbia President, Lee Bollinger for inviting him to speak. Who under this criticism tried to make up for it in his introduction of Ahmadinejad on Monday. (You can read the Introduction here.)
All the Liberal Political Correctness bunch has tried to justify this traitorous act by claiming it was showing the Muslim World that Freedom of Speech is allowed here. Now the last time I looked, Freedom of Speech is a First Amendment Right of the Constitution of the United States of America. Yes, that is right, the first of the Ten Bill of Rights for the citizens of the Unitied States of America. Let me say that again, for Citizens of the USA. Now if memory servers me right, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Iranian not American. (The Bill of Rights.)
Since when do we give Islamic Fanatical Terrorist Dictators the same rights as we give our own citizens? Since when do we give Criminals that stormed our Embassy in Tehran and kidnapped our Diplomats in the 1970’s the same rights as citizens of the USA? Since when do we give someone who murders Americans around the world the same right of Freedom of Speech? Now perhaps if we had arrested this Maniac for his crimes against the USA and Americans, I could see him getting the Right to Representation in a Court of Law. But Freedom of Speech? Give me a break!
This Islamic Terrorist Dictator has said many times “Death to America.” Ahmadinejad thought he could come to the USA and tell the same lies (Al-Taqiyya) that Muslims always do and fool people into taking his side. Is that who you want to embrace Liberals? Here are some of Ahmadinejad’s quotes from his Speech at Columbia University yesterday and proof that they are lies.
The fact that this Terrorist was even allowed into the USA outrages me. What is wrong with our government? What is wrong with you Liberals who want to turn a blind eye to Terrorists and think that if you “just treat them nice they will do the same to us?” What is wrong with you Traitors that want to hand over our country to Islamic Fascists? When will you wake up to the fact that if Islam gains control of this Country and Sharia Law is implemented that your rights will be taken away? (Islam’s 20 year plan to take over the USA, click here.)
To quote Mike Gundy the Oklahoma State University football coach, “Makes me want to puke!”

The love of Megan Ewens's life arrived at Arlington National Cemetery on July 7, 2006. His ashes inside a small wooden box, the box inside a coffin, the coffin draped with an American flag and carried on a caisson pulled by six black horses.
Lt. Forrest P. Ewens had shipped out for Afghanistan in March of that same year. His wife, being the same rank in the Army, understood the risks, telling a colonel at Fort Drum, N.Y., that if anything happened to her husband, she didn't want to hear about it from a stranger.
On June 6, 2006 Lt. Ewens and Sgt. Ian T. Sanchez were killed when ATV struck an IED while on combat operation in Pech River Valley, Afghanistan.
A few weeks before his death, Lt. Ewens called his wife from an Afghan mountain to inform her that his unit had been subsisting on melted snow and rations and that he had been writing his impressions down in a notebook he carried.
"This was the love of her life," Megan Ewens's mother said. "They were so well-matched and made such a good team. We couldn't ask for a better son-in-law."
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Richard Ramey always knew what he was going to be. Once, while in the third grade, his teacher asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up. His response? "I�ll go to war and fight" Concerned by his answer, his teacher called his mother, Julie Ramey. She told her "No, that's my son".
SSgt. Ramey was killed when insurgents attacked his and other convoys in Mahmudiyah, Iraq.
"Richard loved to do his job. No matter where it would take him," said his mother. "He really felt deeply that he wanted to protect people that couldn�t protect themselves"
In a statement released through Fort Knox, the Ramey family said, "He was adventurous and smart, combining both qualities in what he did for the Army. We knew his work was dangerous but also knew he wouldn�t have wanted to do anything else".
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Some Pictures And Scans Of My Sketches
I have recently been accused of using some computer program to make my sketches. I didn't even know such programs existed. I have posted some pictures and scans of my sketches. You can clearly see the pencil strokes.

Sgt. Partridge was killed by an IED that exploded near his vehicle in Baghdad, Iraq.
There isn't that much information about Sgt. Partridge so I though I would share some of the memories that his friends and family have of him.
"I remember Partridge from basic training and AIT. He was a very quiet guy who had a good sense of humor. I remember asking him why he joined, and he told me it was so he could take care of his family and give them a better life. I would have deployed with him any day, he was one of the good guys I graduated with. He will not be forgotten. God Bless."
"Todd was one of the best men I have ever met and I will always have great memories and admiration for him! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family!"
"I will never forget you and those awful eighteen weeks at Fort Leonard Wood. You are in every sense of the term, 'A HERO'"
"Todd was such a quite, solid person. He never demanded the attention of those around him. I remember him always just smiling while everyone else at our LARGE FAMILY get togethers made noise. I could get a hug from him, but I had to ask for it. He never assumed anything. I loved making him hug me.
Todd was a solid, faithful husband, father and man in every respect. He did what had to be done in all areas of his life. He died doing what he knew to be his job in this life. Not that he wanted to die but he wanted to serve whatever the cost might be. He knew that freedom is not free and wanted to pay his part for that freedom for himself, his wife and girls.
I have nothing but love and respect for Todd's memory and will always proudly and thankfully count him among my nephews that adore. His memory will always be honored. I thank God that He brought Todd into our family. He left his mark on it just as he did everywhere he went."
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
