Two-fer Tuesday

If I didn’t know any better, would swear someone at Ranger Up read a recent post here desiring Outlaw’s aviator weapon of choice on a shirt. Pre-order the below here, the latest piece of apparel sure to rile your thin-skinned friends.

When they designed the Apache Helicopter they pretty much decided to design a [...]

The Fellowship of the Ring

Above is Lt. Cdr. (USN) Minter Dial who died in a Japanese POW camp in the Phillipines in 1945. He gave his Naval Academy ring to a fellow POW to give to his wife Lisa after the War… well… Smithsonian Magazine has the story of this ring…. and it’s a helluva ride. Thank God [...]

Occupy This, Reality Version

The latest shirt from our friends at Ranger Up, tellin’ it like it is. Pre-order as necessary …

There are a lot of ways to change the world.

Sitting around in a park whining is not one of them.

The only way to actually accomplish anything of note, including the “change” this Occupy Wall [...]

Do you see the light?

For my fellow Threedonians who highly recommended I finally watch Band of Brothers as my Christmas vacation homework, mission accomplished and I cannot thank you enough. For better and worse, as the WWII veteran family members to whom I was closest (my grandfathers) served in the Pacific theatre as Marines and Navy, my interest [...]

Way To Go Texans!

Video: Finally home

Marine Scott Wood died four weeks ago after suffering injuries during combat in Iraq. Before his burial, his wife dressed him in two uniforms. On the outside, Scott wore his military dress blues. Underneath, he wore the blue No. 80 jersey of Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.

Sara Wood had been [...]

We Remember Pearl Harbor — Open Thread

USS Bennington passes over the unfinished USS Arizona Memorial in 1958.

Provide For The Common Defense

Yeah, it actually says that on one of those old pieces of paper that we keep around the National Archives. It’s one of the the few things that are actually spelled out as being required by Congress to do.

This is monumentally kewl…

Unveiled on 11 NOV at Ground Zero, this statue commemorates the Special Forces Soldiers who first took the fight to the enemy in Afghanistan in 2001.

A little Buckeye love

Incredibly amazing project taking shape in Ohio, founded by high school friend Todd Reigle. He’s been teasing us all with his 11/11/11, at 11 AM EST, for weeks and couldn’t be prouder of him. Will be recording an RF3D podcast with Todd to promote Honor Ride Ohio this afternoon, so if you have any questions [...]

For The Troops, Or At Least Some Of Them…

…sorry heterosexual ladies.

If you don’t want to watch Kelly writhing around in a white bikini fast forward to about the last 45 seconds where she describes her trips overseas to visit the troops and her plans to go again…something to be appalauded.

Self Explanatory

Percentage point this, ya ungrateful OWS bums

Our friends over at Ranger Up continue to crank out great t-shirt after great t-shirt (which works out great for receiving eye-rolls from my lib-co-workers on “casual Fridays” — it’s a hobby), this time spotlighting a statistic which both embarrasses me I can’t do more, and makes me all the prouder of those men [...]

Saturday With Floyd

Pumpkin patch day at Riley’ Farm in Oak Glen, California.  That is Hawk’s Head Publick House a stone and wood beam tavern for lunch with open faced roast beef sandwiches, Stilton cheese and freshly picked green apples [updated:] and Guinness (not the kids of course — yet).

California, knows how to party … animal style

For those in SoCal (or within driving distance — burn those fuel miles, tick off the enviro-weenies, especially the private jet hypocrites), time’s running out to get your ticket(s) to the latest Republican Party Animals event, at West LA’s Spanish Kitchen 826 N. La Cienega, 90069, from 6PM to well into the early morning.

Female Body Inspectors?

It appears that Scarlett Johansson’s I-Phone got hacked (ED: hey wait a minute all you Apple groupies said that couldn’t happen) and someone posted her nude self portraits to the INTERNET. Now G-Men are hot on the case.

From Fox News

The FBI is investigating the release of nude photos allegedly hacked from Scarlett [...]

Miscalculation

I’m sorry… I like Herman Cain and I’m sure he’d be light years better than Obama… but I think this is just plain wrong. I’m sure his heart is in the right place…. but that needs a massive rethink.

And it’s not a spoof… it was released by his campaign.

To Provide For The Common Defense

This video featuring the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, lays out our current defense situation. After seeing this short video it is easy to see how massive defense cuts aren’t really something we need to be looking at. That being said, I am all for trimming waste from the defense budget. My favorite [...]

The Gratest Generation

U.S. Army soldier patrols a Philadelphia Transit trolley car — August 6, 1944.

This Labor Day let’s revisit the great patriotic institutions known as labor unions. I know unions aren’t unalloyed evil and I realize they have done some good things for workers in the past. But let’s remove the rose-colored glasses they like [...]

10 Yeas On…

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a little Hitchens around these parts… In today’s Slate, Christopher Hitchens returns to the topic that moved him into agreement with many of us on at least one thing… the war with Islamic jihadists. Here’s a bit, go read the whole thing here:

The proper task of [...]
