The littlest American Patriot

The other day I wrote a posting titled Ignorance is Bliss which has got a lot of attention. I have received several emails and comments on that posting. One of the emails I got was one of a American Patriot who sent me this picture of his grandson who is only six years old. This little guy has helped his grandpa send over 1000 boxes to troops overseas.

Not only is he spending quality time with his Grandpa, he is also doing something productive with that time. He has more patriotism in that little pinky of his than many Americans I meet and interact with every day.

This little man has my vote for The littlest American Patriot.

I am glad to announce that there is a new blogger over at Military Pundits (www.militarypundits.com). He goes by the name TheAdamBomb and he has come out strong and bomb-like. He is a welcomed addition to the blogging crew over there and I am glad to have him on board. Be sure and check out his latest post called Pelosi and government and healthcare, oh my!

The Department of Homeland Security will redeploy $50 million of Recovery Act funding originally allocated for the SBInet Block 1 to other tested, commercially available security technology along the Southwest border, including mobile surveillance, thermal imaging devices, ultra-light detection, backscatter units, mobile radios, cameras and laptops for pursuit vehicles, and remote video surveillance system enhancements.

To do anything less is to denigrate each other, hide away the truth, and perpetuate that which we seek to overcome.
