A Five Year Old Hero
6 July 2007 | Patriotism | 1 Comment
One of the most remarkable things we do in our American culture is inspire our young men to be heroic. Whether it’s the comic book heroes, how we look up to those who protect and serve our society, or the stories that are passed from father to son, we as a culture start our young […]

It Ain’t Cinco De Mayo, Folks
2 July 2007 | Patriotism, Manassas City | 38 Comments
This morning I ran across a business in Manassas that had one of those fireworks tents on their property, which are usually festooned with a multitude of American flags this time of year. This one was a little different. In addition to the American flags, there were Mexican flags, Honduran flags, and those of El […]

On this day in 1944, members of the 29th Infantry Division, a National Guard unit from Maryland and Virginia, landed on the shore of Omaha Beach in Normandy and began the largest amphibious invasion in history.

PWC Comes Through For the Marines
8 August 2006 | Patriotism | Comments Off
I posted before about Operation Labor of Love, where Major Ted Gates (USMC) needed support from the folks at home. In true American fashion, Prince William County residents were not going to let down the United States Marine Corps, and donated 650 pounds of police training equipment and about 4,000 toys for children in […]

Major Ted Gates (USMC) of Haymarket is stationed in Ramadi, Iraq and is asking for some help from the hometown folks. Our duty is to provide it. Yes, that’s right, it’s not a maybe, or a “do it this week” kind of thing. No, this is a Marine doing his duty fighting for your freedom, […]

Few of those men remain with us today. You may […]
