To American Veterans…
You Honor Us and Our Country
Today we Commemorate
Our Honor of You, Our Heros
Thank You God,
For these Brave Men and Women
In remembrance… I shed tears of love and devotion to them all including the slain warriors gunned down by the enemy at Fort Hood, Texas.
And… to my Dad, a veteran of three foreign wars, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, I Salute and Miss you Dad… may you rest in peace as the American Hero that you are.

Thank your for your service during Vietnam War, Arlene, and your service since. I salute and honor you dear…
I am proud to call you friend. ArleneArmy’s blog can be located at: http://arlenearmy.wordpress.com
WarrantOneGirl, also known as Liberty, who is a member of the blog is also a veteran and served in the US Army and comes from a family of warriors of many generations, as I do.
As I recall, WarrantOneGirl/Liberty’s husband is either a veteran or is active duty, as well. Thank you WarrantOneGirl/Liberty, and to your husband also, for your service to our beloved Country. I am honored that you share your presence with us here. You will find Liberty’s/WarrantOneGirl’s blog here: http://warrantonegirl.wordpress.com/
LisainTx, a former member of the blog, is the daughter of a WWII Veteran, married to a Veteran, and is the Mother of an active duty warrior presently serving in Iraq, all of who’s service to our beloved country is honored and for which I and millions of others are grateful. Thank You, Sirs, for your service to our country.
These are photographs taken of Lisa’s Husband, Joe, her Son, and her Father while in the service of our beloved country:

Another of the members here, Tellitlikeitis, has a World War II veteran relative, his father. Tellitlikeit is an honored member here and continues to work tirelessly to preserve and protect our beloved country. Thank you to your Father for his service to our country and for your continuing patriotic service here, Tellitlikeitis.
There is likely other members here who are also Veterans or Spouses of Veterans or have family members who are veterans. I have been adding mention of each member veteran as their status comes to light and will continue to add member names as they surface.
There are other members here, though to the best of my knowledge are not veterans, are by their word and deed veterans at heart.
One such member is Foxwood, who has shown such devotion and unending determination to preserve what is best and most precious to us all… our beloved America.
Each member here is treasured and honored Patriots doing, within their power, everything they can to protect and preserve our beloved country. Thank each and every one of you, sirs and ma’ams, for your dedication and love of our country. I am honored by your presence and service.
I have added the following in recognition of a Marine Veteran visitor to this blogpost Veterans Day Remembrance who served at Dong Ha, 1968.
for you dong_ha68:
A Picture of one of the B-17s, Ole Blood n Guts, in which my Father flew in World War Two. Sadly, this proud B-17 Stratofortress did not survive the war and being severely battle damaged, crash landed on Dec 24, 1944, never to fly again. Though not confirmed, My Dad is believed to be in the back row, on the viewer’s right:

B-17 "Ole Blood n Guts" Lipnick's Crew - 603rd Squadron - 28 September 1944
From one of our beloved Veterans who is a member of this Blog… Samiam60! Thank you for your service, Sir! I Salute and Honor You.

More information about AFVET:
I served in the Nam Era, but was never in country.

Thank you Bob!
Thank you AFVET!
And thank you Arlene!
Good morning Sami!
Good morning VF!
Good Morning VF and all my Fellow American Patriots, Friends and Veterans. A lovely job you have done here VF in recognizing all those who have served. I consider all of you who ” Serve” as ” Patriots” on this blog as War Hardened Veterans in our common fight against the Communism which is sweeping Our Country. There were many who fought along side George Washington who were not in the Military, but rather Civilians who took up the cause of our Liberty and also sacrificed all so that we could be here today. Such it is with many of you who may never have served in our Military yet fight like the bravest of the brave working to take back our Freedom and our Constitution from those who would do us harm.
Good Morning Foxwood. Everyone please be sure to visit Bob Mack’s Tribute to Veterans at:
http://crockettlives.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/veterans-day-2010/
Good Morning Foxwood and Sami!
Sami, I added Bob Mack to this blogpost along with what I have in the way of information about him and a link to his blog.
AFVET, I would be honored to add you to the blogpost above. If you don’t mind, please find the Button called “Kontactr Me” and send your information and photos. Thank your for your honored service to our beloved country, dear.
We’ve got quite a few VN vets that comment here.
That is true Foxwood, and I want to include each and every one in the Veteran’s Day Tribute.
Please anyone who comments here, either post your information and pics here or mail them to me using the “Kontactr Me” button.
This is just funny!
It is really cute, Fox.
I thought about playing some Apocalypse Now, but I didn’t know if it would be offensive, and I only have respect for our Veterans.
Just told off Jonathan Hutson on twitter, another Socialist/Communist crapsandwich big-shot spreading anti-veteran bullsh!t.
Good Morning Everyone! Happy Veterans day!

Hi all, and thanks for all the kind words, both here & on my blog. I was in Germany, volunteered for Nam in spring of ’67, got there in early July, & stayed until Oct. 68. Assigned to 1st Signal Brigade, spent all my time in II Corps area, mostly in Long Van, Nha Trang, and Binh Tan. Furthest north I ventured was Pleiku, furthest south was Cam Ranh.

VF,… great post !
Thank you for taking the time to enforce the efforts of the military to keep this country safe from the external, and the internal forces that are determined to take our Republic to it’s knees.
You are one of the forces out there that is attempting to expose what the socialistic movement in this country is inherently trying to infuse into the American thought process.
Information is power, common sense is essential.
I commend you for your efforts. Thanks fer bein’ there.
AFVET, You need a Twitter account!
what a beautiful post hun..thank you. Blessed Veterans day to you.:)
Good afternoon Angel. I posted to your blog. It’s a great day to pay tribute to our Vets and service men and women.
Don’t know if you guys saw this (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0f8_1235673139). I take all these unconfirmed reports with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, here’s a blurb:
“The written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China.
This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take — inside the USA — land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities – to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government.
Put simply, the feds have now actually mortgaged the physical land and property of all citizens and businesses in the United States. They have given to a foreign power, their Constitutional power to “take” all of our property, as actual collateral for continued Chinese funding of US deficit spending and the continued carrying of US national debt.”
AFVET, I have added your information to the blogpost above. Thank you and your father for your dedication and service to our beloved country, sir.
I thank God so often for the men and women who step up and serve our country in the ranks of the branches of the US Armed Forces, and their families.
Thank you for contributing information about your and your Dad’s service so that all who read this blog can both see and note: We love our heros here.
Angel, thank you for your kind words, dear. As you can see, we love and honor our heros and all those who fight daily in the political skies and trenches on the internet and in real life to defend our way of life and our families and country. Your work on your blog is honorable and it is with pride that I know you.
Angel says
what a beautiful post hun..thank you. Blessed Veterans day to you.:)
Just finished some editing work on the blogpost, thus it has changed.
Angel, I would be honored to add you to my blogroll. You Rock Girl!
I see you’ve been busy, VF!
Hi Fox! yes, a busy bee’s work is never done
bzzz bzzz bzzz
Good Evening AFVET, Bob Mack, VF, Tellit, and Foxwood. I found myself on a Mission today to spend some time with the Disabled Vets down at the VA Hospital. I felt this urge earlier today to just go down there and visit, I am so very glad I did. As much as I had hoped to give encouragement to them, lo and behold it was them which gave encouragement to me. A day well spent and I shall do this more often.
I keep updating and my position moves. That’s how I know! 🙂
I am missing Arlene this day. I am hoping all is well with her.
Good Evening Angel and nice to meet you. Your Blog Post is awesome and Angel is what you are.
Sami, I went looking for Arlene and Messaged her. You can Message her on Twitter also, ya know. Just go to her twitter page and click message.

Breaking News: An hour elapsed today without Barack Obama appearing on any TV networks. Chris Matthews blamed it on racism
God Bless our Veterans!!!
was that before or after he got a tingle up his leg? hahahaha

tellit, when are you going to get twitterized?
Chris Mathews. I think the man should think about a new career.
Twitterized: a process invented by the Austrian proctologist Sigmund Tweet that involves removal of the liberal cranium from the liberal colon. Extremely painful to the liberal patient, and successful procedures are rare. Normal people, however, rarely experience any discomfort and usually enjoy the experience.
With the Dungocrats on the run now, those twits at MSNBC are a laughing stock. great for mockage 😀
good for a laugh!!
You Quack me up!

Hey Y’all, What a nice nice veterans day today. The weather was georgeous, sunny sunny sunny and a cool breeze 74 degrees.
F16’s were jetting around all day giving veterans a fly over. I LOVE THAT SOUND!!!! And army helicopters too!
SALUTE! To you great people! Thank you!
Yes, thank God for our veterans. This blog is so fortunate to be blessed with so many veterans.
Hubby took kids out to zero rifles, gun season opens next weekend this is last weekend for bow and it is “youth” hunt this Saturday.
I don’t know if I told you guys or not, but my hubby called me from Ft. Hood when that SOB, POS, Hasan was firing on them. It was just horrible.
I could tell he was on the ground and he called me from someone elses cell phone and I could hear screaming and yelling and people running. I started balling crying. I had no idea what was going on but he told me to turn on the news because he/they were under fire but didn’t know what was going on. He made it out safe, but one guy in his unit didn’t.
Hasan shot him like three times. He did not deploy with the unit, but came 27 October when the unit returned. Walking with a cane. That POS freak Hasan blew out parts of this guy’s leg. I guess he faired better than the others.
Oh you are funny VF!!!! Trying to entice Tellit with the “babes” on Twitter!
I LOVE IN LIVING COLOR!!!!!
Hi Liberty. Too bad that muzzie psycho is still sucking air.
VF …. you are sooooooooooooooo sweet & thoughtful.
Im here SamI..
Ive been a bit draggy today trying to winterize house & clean it up a bit.
Today as I sat eating my spam sandwich watching Beck, I wondered if vets will rise to the occasion. Beck said we need to get prepared.
Are we prepared?
Sieg Heil und Guten Morgan fellow unAmerican Nazis!

Good Morning Foxwood and Arlene and VF. The results of the Obama Asia Trip are now in as America Grades his lack of performance:
*************************************************************
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20
Good morning Patriots!
I should have been on last night. I missed everybody! Guess I’ve been losing track of my time.
Good Morning Foxwood! And Everyone!
It’s a new day and news is Obama & Co are going to cave on insisting on increasing taxes in the middle of a severe recession. Much, I will add, to the total chagrin of the mouthy Socialist Activists working within the Lamestream Media, the blogosphere, and Twitter.
To them I have a reaction: ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Their propaganda war inciting Class Warfare gets, apparently, SNUFFED.
The We The People STOMPAGE of the DEM Congress? A gift that keeps on giving. Thank the millions of Tea Party Minded Americans for standing up and saying F.U. and taking the power reserved for American Citizens, firing Elitist Asshats in office who have been judged and found guilty of Malfeasance. HOOOO-YAAAA!
Good morning Sami!
Obutthole will chug along. He would rather be the benevolent Dictator, but he’ll settle for Dictator.
Good morning VF!
We the People have awakened and had enough of the Socialist Sh!t sandwich.
We’re throwing it back in the socialist faces.!
I hear ya Fox.
I have been coming down from an adrenaline high which was driven by the lead-up to NOV-2.
The relief and the gloatingly happy euphoria I felt following the resounding smack-down of enemies of our country, left me emotionally drained.
The time following NOV-2 has been a watch and wait to see which way the socialist bowling pins fall and how things are going to shape up going forward.
The Socialist/Communist infiltrators of the DEM Party and to a lesser degree the Republican Party, had convinced themselves of their own lies and skewed version of reality, and had been churning with arrogant hatred in their dominate attitude, had to have time to let actual reality sink in.
They thought they had achieved their ultimate goal… achieving an unstoppable war of destruction of Conservative Americans aka Whitey.
Sami, I’m having problems getting on your newest post. I’m sure it’s my Firefox. I just haven’t figured it out yet. It hoses up every time I try to load it.
Good Morning Sami!
Yeah… O has used up all his political capital and now everyone knows what we knew in early 2008, Barack is a walking one-man Communist wrecking-ball who defeated himself, in his self-absorbed arrogance thinking he finally had Whitey by the balls who could be falsely painted with the race card and racially water-boarded into submission. I think we showed Barry and his sheriff Eric Holder, Americans are far from cowardly in the face of lying racist crap slinging.
WRONG! We smashed his bubble and his pride… leaving him politically crippled for the remaining two years of his Community Organizer time in office.
Likely the DEM party throngs are seriously angry he has turned out to be a liberation-theology cork-gun instead of a socialist/communist battleship.
Could you please not use balls and smashing bubbles in the same comment
It makes me want to cry.
hahahaha!!! I only smash Socialist/Communist balls dear 😉
my co-patriots are safe 😉
Foxwood says
Could you please not use balls and smashing bubbles in the same comment
It makes me want to cry.
I really need to get busy and crank out some blogposts… no more post election vacation.
so many leftist balls to whack; so little time hahahaha
be back soon, off the blogpost salt mines…
Even the thought of it hurts.
Good Morning Everyone! Foxwood, I got to find me a Cajun woman so I can spend the rest of my life eating jambalaya and crawdaddys everyday.
Pingback: God Bless Our Troops: Veterans Day Video Tribute « Frugal Café Blog Zone
Good Morning my Fellow Patriots and Friends. I do believe the Enola Gay took the fight to Twitter with my latest post. Gonna need reinforcements
ok, biggest obstacle is done… I have a timely and important topic… now for the rest of the job… writing it up.
Good morning Tellit. Cajun food is some of the best. I’ve picked up on cooking it myself, but cooking is something I enjoy doing.
Yummy! Yummy! Just fix me up some creole shrimp gumbo, jambalaya, and an order of crawldaddys and I am in food heaven.
Good Afternoon VF, Fox, Tellit, Sami. Here’s a good Jambalaya recipe:
Jambalaya from Louisiana’s Mayor John A. Berthelot
“ALMOST WORLD FAMOUS JAMBALAYA RECIPE”
Combination Jambalaya
(10) Quart Black Pot)
3 lbs. Cubed Pork(1/2 inch cubes)
4 Celery Stalks – Chopped fine
3 lbs. Smoked Sausage
1/2 Bell Pepper – Chopped fine
3 lbs. Boneless Chicken
5 Teaspoons Black Pepper
½ cup of cooking oil
3 Teaspoons Louisiana Hot Sauce
2 Teaspoons Granulated Garlic
Salt to Taste –make sure it tastes salty
1 Bunch of Green Onions ( chop and separate green tops from white bottoms)
3 lbs of long grain rice
12 Cups of Water
3 lbs of Large Onions (chopped fine)
I marinate my pork with salt, pepper, and garlic, and Lea and Perrins the morning I cook – This step is not necessary, but I like to do it.
I marinate the chicken with LA Hot Sauce, salt, pepper & garlic. Fry cut up sausage in cooking oil until brown. Remove sausage. Fry pork and when pork begins to brown add chicken and cook to golden brown. Remove meat and add onions (NOT green onions)
Cook until dark brown and add all meat.
Add ½ cup of water and bell peppers, celery, and green onion bottoms only. Saute for 10-12 minutes or until caramelized. Add 12 cups of water and all seasoning. Remember: make it salty because the rice will absorb the salt. Add additional seasoning if you think it needs it – I usually do.
Bring to a bubbling boil – cut off- YES cut off fire and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. All excess oil will come to the top – skim off excess oil. Turn fire back on and bring to a boil again. Add rice and stir until mixture becomes thick making sure you have liquid remaining. Cover with a tight lid and let cook on a, low, low fire for 7 minutes. Uncover and use the back of spoon all around pot to bleed liquid down. Cover again-cook another 7 minutes.
Turn over rice and add green onion tops – Don’t stir again. Cover and do this again in 7 minutes. When all liquid is gone turn as in fold your complete pot of jambalaya. Cover -7 more minutes- Should be cooked – I hope!
Feeds 20 hungry people.
