Wednesday's Hero

Sgt. John F. Thomas(Right) & Sgt. Ronnie L. Shelley, Sr.(Left)
33 & 34 years old from Valdosta, Georgia
2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment, 48th Infantry Brigade, Georgia Army National Guard
July 24, 2005 & July 30, 2005


Sgt. Ronnie "Rod" Shelley and Sgt. John F. Thomas became best friends in the Georgia Army National Guard.

They both were ex-Marines, both about the same age, and both enjoyed searching for arrowheads and fishing together. As their friendship grew, Thomas often came over to Shelley’s house for steaks and ribs barbecued by his friend. And when their infantry unit was sent to Iraq in May of 2005, they went to war together.

When their unit was mobilized for combat duty in Iraq, Shelley promised to watch out for Thomas. "Ronnie said, 'Don't you worry, I'll bring him back safely,"' said Thomas' grandfather. But neither Sgt. Thomas or Sgt. Shelley made it back safely. Sgt. Thomas was killed July 24, 2005 by a roadside bomb near Baghdad. And Sgt. Shelley was killed six days later on July 30 by another roadside bomb, also near Baghdad.

Shelley was a family man, married with three children, who was obsessed with having a neat yard, his wife said. "The grass had to be two inches," she said. "If the neighbor mowed the grass, Rod had to mow. He also wanted the biggest, baddest lawn mower."

She said she fell in love with his "gorgeous blue ... eyes," and "he had a laid back attitude. I could not make him mad."

Thomas was married but had no children. His grandparents said he dreamed of becoming a forest ranger. "John wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail. Now the only trail he can walk is the trail in heaven," the grandfather said.

Mrs. Thomas, wiping back tears, said the soldier felt responsible for the others in his unit. "He cared for people," she said. "That's why he had so many friends. People cared for him."

Killed alongside Sgt. Shelley were Staff Sgt. David R. Jones Sr., Sgt. 1st Class Victor A. Anderson and Sgt. Jonathon C. Haggin and killed alongside Sgt. Thomas were Army Spc. Jacques E. Brunson, Army Staff Sgt. Carl R. Fuller and Army Sgt. James O. Kinlow.

A message to the American people

From an Iraqi citizen regarding the upcoming elections.

The Trinity of Hell

I don't know whether to laugh or take this serious.

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Cindy

Petty Officer 2nd Class Chris Davila
From Sierra Vista, Arizona


On the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States, Petty Officer 2nd Class Chris Davila raised an American flag over Camp Korean Village, Iraq, he brought with him from Arizona.

Tuesday, May 6, 2008, Sierra Vista firefighter and emergency medical technician Chris Davila presented that flag to Fire Chief Randy Redmond as fellow firefighters looked on. Monday, May 5, 2008, was Davila’s first day back on the job with the department after being gone for nearly nine months, with seven of those months deployed as a Navy Reserve corpsman serving with a Marine unit near the Jordanian and Syrian border area in Iraq.

And, as luck would have it, on his first shift saw him responding to a blaze in Sierra Vista. "Right back to work," he said with a laugh.

You can read the rest of PO 2nd Class Davila's story here.

Out of time: Radical Islam Taking Over Europe & West

Great news clip on islamisation of Europe. If these statistics don't wake you up, I don't know what will. Radical Islam is a grave threat to Europe, there is no denying this. Europe as we know it will be taken by Muslims within the next 100 years. It's time we stop being politically correct with Islam and confront it for what it is.



WAKE UP!

Islam the fastest growing CANCER in the world!

This very short move shows Christian boys in Africa kidnapped and converted to Islam by force, they send to learn Quran if someone refuses he is chained and beaten using whip.



Islam is the trojan horse in many country's over the world and full of hate and violence! Help stop the spread of Islam!

The Third World War, a Warning

I firmly believe that WW3 has already begun but that it is not full blown yet. Islam has declared a Holy War against the world. 911 was just a forerunner of what is to come. We need to pull our heads out of the sand and face this war or all that we hold dear, our way of live will be gone under the oppression of Islamic rule. We have the power and technology to squash this evil Idealolgy if we had the will to use it. But do we have the will to want to preserve all the is good in our lifes?

"History teaches that when you become indifferent and lose the will to fight, someone who does have the will to fight, will take over." - Colonel Bull Simmons

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Islamic Brainwashing

One of the world's leading experts on brainwashing has said that islam is using techniques often used by cults to control the minds of followers.

This is not news to us who have studied Islam and watch what muslims do.
