'Lawful Islam' Example...

Here is an example of what muslims are providing to their community here in America.
This is from the CAIR-Houston web site...

YOUR RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE

Federal law makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the basis of religion, race, or national origin. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act guarantees your right to:

1) Reasonable religious accommodation. The failure of an employer to reasonably accommodate your religious practices constitutes discrimination. “Religious practices” includes wearing a beard, hijab, prayer on the job, and going to Jumah prayer.
2) Fairness in hiring, firing, and promotions. Your employer is prohibited from considering religion when making decisions affecting your employment status.
3) A non-hostile work environment. Your employer must ensure that you are not subjected to anti-Muslim insults, harassment or unwelcome, excessive proselytizing.
4) Complain about discrimination without fear of retaliation. Federal law guarantees your right to report an act of alleged discrimination. It is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for your complaint.

WHEN FACED WITH DISCRIMINATION ON THE JOB

1) Remain calm.
2) Inform the offending party that you believe his/her actions are discriminatory.
3) Report the discriminatory action in writing to company management.
4) Begin documenting the discrimination by saving memos, keeping a detailed journal, noting the presence of witnesses, and making written complaints (keep copies). Create a “paper trail.”
5) Contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and local county or state civil rights agencies to educate yourself about legal options.
6) Contact an attorney to discuss your case.
7) DO NOT sign any documents or resign without an attorney’s advice.
8) Ask to be transferred to another department or job site.
9) Ask for mediation.
10) Contact CAIR to file a report.

YOUR RIGHTS AS AN AIRLINE PASSENGER

As an airline passenger, you are entitled to courteous, respectful and non-stigmatizing treatment by airline and security personnel. You have the right to complain about treatment that you believe is discriminatory. If you believe you have been treated in a discriminatory manner, immediately:

1) Ask to speak to a supervisor.
2) Ask if you have been singled out because of your looks, dress, race, ethnicity, faith, or national origin.
3) Ask for the names and ID numbers of all persons involved in the incident.
4) Ask witnesses to give you their names and contact information.
5) Write down a statement of facts immediately after the incident. Be sure to include the flight number, the flight date, and the name of the airline.
6) Contact CAIR to file a report.

This is only a sample, there is more. Information is ammunition, and they are educating.

I am all for treating another human with kindness, but that is another subject...

The Threat Of 'Lawful Islam'...

Lawful Islam, this is a real threat being perpetrated today, in many societies of the world, including our own. I have posted on some examples in the past and Bill at The Bill T Blog, has reminded of the importance of 'know thy enemy'.

We have an enemy today that is cunning, and have a well thought out agenda of world domination, by any means. As Bill had pointed out, we are aware of the threats of violence and manipulation through fear. Fear is a great motivator, but it is not their only motivator.

Here are some examples from Islamist Watch, of 'lawful Islam' being put into place. We must educate ourselves and somehow make our voices heard.

Will you join in?..

The Three Missing Soldiers...

As many of you know, there were three US soldiers 'abducted' while on patrol near Mahmudiya, just south of Baghdad, three weeks ago.
Well, there are reports of three bodies having been found, in separate findings, that are the American soldiers. There are wounds on them indicating torture and two, being beheaded.

For the strong of heart and stomach, you can see photos here, from Michael Savage, purportedly of these men.
I post this photo link ONLY to demonstrate, to some that think we are dealing with legitimate 'freedom fighters', that this enemy is comprised of devils, nothing less. They are inhumane and full of hate for us. There are some good people of Iraq, but the enemy, many of which, are from surrounding countries as well, hate us and want to destroy us completely.

For the idiot people in our own country that cry about the panties on heads, leashes around the neck, and etc, you had better wake up before it is too late, even for yourselves.

This is reminiscent of the two Israeli soldiers that took a wrong turn and found themselves in Ramallah. They were subsequently tortured and killed with the bare hands of similar devils.

May their families find comfort in this difficult time... God help us.

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Kathy

Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie
41 years old from Ann-Arbor, Michigan


Specialist Ahmed Qusai al-Taayie is a Iraqi American U.S. Army linguist soldier, from Ann-Arbor, Michigan who was kidnapped on October 23, 2006 in Baghdad and has not been seen since.

al-Taayie joined the Army in 2004 to help not only his country, the United States, but also his birthplace of Iraq and was deployed in 2005. On October 23, 2006 he was visiting his wife in the Karrada Shiite neighborhood in central Baghdad when he and his cousin were kidnapped by a group calling themselves Ahel al-Beit Brigades. His cousin was released shortly after. On November 2, 2006 al-Taayie's uncle received a ransom demand of $250,000 for his return. Along with the ransom came a grainy video that showed a man beaten up who was identified as al-Taayie. No more has been heard from al-Taayie or his captures.

Political Users...

I read an article on Michelle Malkin's site this morning, about an interview with Democratic presidential candidate, Frank, uh, I mean, Bill Richardson.

Mr. Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, has recounted a story of a conversation he had with the mother of a fallen Marine Corp soldier from New Mexico. He had met Ms. Austin, mother of LCpl Austin, at the memorial service for her son, and has spoken of the conversation, on many occasion, as he is on the campaign trail.

Apparently, he has misquoted the Marine's name and age, during his on-going campaign, and even misrepresenting part of their brief conversation concerning military death benefits during the memorial service.

Well, Tim Russert, of Meet The Press, took Gov. Richardson to task yesterday concerning this bit of controversy. This governor is a shining example of the disconnect of real compassion concerning his constituents. When asked about the troubles Ms. Austin is having with his use of their 'conversation', Gov. Richardson skirted her concerns and pushed his own agenda. His response made her concerns to be of no importance. He didn't even have the integrity, or the balls, to give her the respect of an apology.

Perhaps an apology would have been saying, "I was wrong." That is something very hard for many to do in today's world...

Quotes Of Our Founding Fathers...

As we remember those who bled and died for this great nation of ours, I want to list a few quotes from the founding fathers of America...

All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?"

Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention

Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence.

Alexander Hamilton, Pacificus, No. 6, July 17, 1793

Human nature itself is evermore an advocate for liberty. There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong. A love of truth and a veneration of virtue. These amiable passions, are the "latent spark"... If the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling the differences between true and false, right and wrong, virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?

John Adams, the Novanglus, 1775

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785



And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.

Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781

America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.

James Madison, Federalist No. 14, November 30, 1787

It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.

Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure you to believe me fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government.

George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796


There are many more my friends to consider. It is alarming how, today, many of our leaders do not seem to embrace these same convictions.

I fear the only way that we will awaken, as a people, is when there is blood on our own streets.

Heaven forbid...

"Ballad Of the Green Berets"

Words and Music by

Robin Moore and SSG. Barry Sadler


Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret.

Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage picked from the Green Beret.

Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request.

Put Silver Wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.


I can not even read this in full without tears coming forth. This represents the many men who fought and died in America's past, present and future.

These men, who are America's best, we remember. These men, to whom we owe much, are to forever be thanked. These men, whose loved ones were willing to sacrifice, are to be thanked, as well as their loved ones. These men, to which all gave some, and which many gave all, are to be honored equally.

The blood, the sweat, the tears, yes, the many tears, that solidified our freedom, were given so that we may be proud of being AMERICANS. Our great grandfathers, our grandfathers, our fathers and our brothers we owe much, so we must keep them alive in our memories.

You wives, to which all of you gave some, but many of you gave all, we thank you and we owe you!

Let us not forget, my friends, what it once meant, and still means to be an honest, humble and yet proud, decent, caring, strong and yet gentle, meek and yet ferocious American soldier...

Times are hard and it takes a hard man to do the work that is set before him. A right of passage when a boy learns how to be a man, and indeed he is transformed. A man when his word is his bond. A man that is willing to give his life for his fellow. There is no greater love than this.

This is what it means to be a true man and a soldier.

Memorial Day is bittersweet.

Let us remember them...

We Must Remember!

I have many thoughts of what is happening within our country and this world as we know it, particularly Israel. I would like to bring something to our attention, that is an example of how we are moving dangerously away from our founding principles of our country and the God of the bible, The Creator of all things.

In light of the coming of Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, at the end of this week, I thought it would be appropriate to relay a story that took place in November of 2003. Shavuot is the celebration or commemoration of the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai. What happened in November of 2003, was then Alabama Chief Justice Roy S. Moore being removed from his position of Chief Justice. He was removed because of his devotion to God and his desire to maintain the US Constitution and it's Godly foundation.

This is an excerpt of the trial, this is verbatim:

Pryor: Mr. Chief Justice? And your understanding is that the Federal court ordered that you could not acknowledge God; isn't that right?

Moore: Yes.

Pryor: And if you resume your duties as Chief Justice after this proceeding, you will continue to acknowledge God as you have testified that you would today ---

Moore: That's right.

Pryor: ---no matter what any other official says?

Moore: Absolutely. Without --- let me clarify that. Without an acknowledgment of God, I cannot do my duties. I must acknowledge God. It says so in the Constitution of Alabama. It says so in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It says so in everything I have read. So ---

Pryor: The only point I am trying to clarify, Mr. Chief Justice, is not why, but only that, in fact, if you do resume your duties as Chief Justice, you will continue to do that without regard to what any other official says; isn't that right?

Moore: Well, I'll do the same thing this Court did with starting of prayer; that's an acknowledgement of God. Now, we did the same say thing that justices do when they place their hand on the Bible and say, "So help me God." It's an acknowledgement of God. The Alabama Supreme Court opens with, "God save the State and this Honorable Court." It's an acknowledgement of God. In my opinions, which I have written many opinions, acknowledging God is the source --- a moral source of our law. I think you must.

This is but a small part of the overall story. You must listen to this session on audio it will bring tears to the eyes of any God fearing man or woman.

Here is a link on Re-Taking America to much of what happened on that dark day of U.S. history. It covers a lot of info, but please take the time to look.

Here is an audio link to Tovia Singer on Arutz Sheva's Israel National Radio. He just interviewed the Honorable Roy S. Moore this past week. This is definitely worth a listen! The beginning of the audio track is chilling and saddening.

Please take the time...

Update on the Al Awda Conference...

If you recall on an earlier post, I relayed an article found on FRONTPAGEMAG.COM, concerning the victory at UC Riverside University. They had succeeded in canceling the Fifth Annual International Al Awda convention that promotes the destruction of Israel and more.

Lee Kaplan has been instrumental in helping to defeat this organization here in our home land.
Pleas see his update to the Al Awda event, now scheduled to take place, at a Hilton owned Embassy Suites Hotel, in May.

Part of the problem, is the fact that this type of event is allowed to take place here in America. These are not only enemies of Israel, they are enemies of ours! The motto of Al Awda is 'palestine will be free, from the river to the sea'. There is no desire of peace here, there is no desire to have a homeland of there own to peaceably in the world, no, the goal is total destruction of Israel and death to all Jews. Make no mistake about it friends, this is the goal of the majority within the muslim world.

If this conference is really about creating awareness of the plight of the 'palestinian' people, why come to the US? Why are they not pleading with the other Mid-Eastern countries? Why isn't Jordan, Syria, Iran, Egypt or others coming to their aide? Why is no one saying to them, "come to our land, live with us, we will care for you"?

We've already discussed the answer, the 'palestinians' are pawns for the total inhalation of the Jewish people. First the Jews then us, yeah, then us...

You want another shocker? The jihadists are being backed by groups like ,the American Nazi Party and Aryan Nations. Go to the Aryan Nations web site and see their links page. These people also have a blind hatred that seemingly will stop at nothing. We all know these groups have a hate for many races, but to side with those that want to destroy us all if we won't 'submit, convert or die'?

Why am I surprised...

For The Weekend...

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

from the great Rudyard Kipling

US Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol Agent Found Dead...

I had not heard a word of this story until today.

This crime occurred last Friday, 11 MAY 2007, and may still be under investigation.

My heart goes out to the family of Richard Goldstein, who leaves behind his wife and two children.
Where is the cry for justice here? Now then, had there been an ILLEGAL alien shot in the buttocks during his murder, we would see this in the nightly news.

Thank you to Douglass V Gibbs, of the Political Pistachio, for providing this story.

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Cindy

Lance Cpl. Steven Chavez
20 years old from Hondo, New Mexico
2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force
March 14, 2007


Tears ran down cheeks and strong men choked back emotion as the city of Hondo, NM payed tribute to fallen Marine, Steven Chavez. LCpl. Chavez lost his life on March 14, 2007 in a non-combat incident in which he was accidentally shot.

Chavez enlisted in the Marine Cops. right after he graduated in 2005. "You pray and you pray that the day never comes, and then it does," said Novelda Chavez, Chavez's mother. "Your emotions are mixed — it’s not true, it’s a bad dream, a bad dream you never wake up from."

In a letter Chavez wrote before he was sent to Iraq, he wrote:
"First of all I would like to thank everyone for your support. When I'm home on leave and when I'm away. That is so important to me. Thank you for your kind, supporting words in your letters and for the packages I've received. Those are awesome.

I've been through some pretty hard times, in the short time I've been in the Marine Corp. None harder then what I'm about to face. Yes I'm scared; nothing is scarier than the uncertainty of what your future holds for you. I'm prepared to face whatever lies ahead.

I put my life in the hands of the Lord. And pray that He guides my fellow soldiers and I down a safe path, that He will calm our fears, and give us the strength to do the job we have been trained to do, and to do that job well.

There are many lonely nights, when you're lying in your bunk thinking of family and friends, wondering what they are doing at that very moment. Wondering what mom is cooking for supper. I can almost taste the tortillas on the griddle.

I want to say to all of you tonight, I wouldn't change one thing about my life.

I've never been more proud of the choices I made in my life than the day I graduated from basic drill instructor placed that Anchor, Globe and Eagle Pin in my hand I knew then I was a UNITED STATES MARINE!

I'm Proud to protect and serve My Country

I'm Proud to protect and serve My Community

I'm Proud to protect and serve you

Thank you so much for your Support. Keep those letters coming. Mail is a precious commodity when you're so far from Home.

Hear! Hear! For UC Riverside!

It's about time someone has the sense and the guts to say NO!

We need to applaud the decision made by this university amid growing pressures to turn a blind eye to the jihadist rhetoric spewing from our academic facilities. It seems the student organizers played a big roll in canceling this event.

As FrontPage magazine reports: "California at Riverside has canceled the Fifth Annual International Al Awda Conference that was scheduled to take place there on the weekend of May 24-26^th. This marks only the second time that an American university has declined unconditionally to host an anti-Jewish hate fest that masquerades as an educational event about the Middle East (the other campus being Rutgers University in New Jersey in 2003). Such a cancellation comes on the heels of a new ruling by the US Civil Rights Commission that anti-Semitism on campuses has been masquerading as discussion of the Middle East".

Hi Neighbor! Is This What You Want?..

There is growing concern about the porous nature of our southern borders today...
For reasons not clearly understood by us, our government, seemingly, is not cracking down on the flow of ILLEGAL immigration.

This story from Reuters, gives a brief description of activities just a stones throw from Texas.

msnbc had this story last week concerning the movement of Hezbollah moving ever close to the United States.

We make it increasingly difficult for our law enforcement to use the force that is sometimes necessary to squelch criminal behavior.

The point being, we must wake up as a nation, make our voices heard, before it's too late!
My question is this, how do we go about being heard? Secondly, is anybody listening?

SECURE OUR BORDERS, before it's too late!

Life vs Death...

I want to demonstrate the vast difference between the Islamic jihadists and the religious Zionist Jews.

We know the position of many jihadists by the latest 'mouse controversy', just as an example. There are more that also confirm their position. They promote death at an early age, soul and body.

Here is the other end of the spectrum, which is typical of a G-d fearing Jewish man or woman. It promotes life, body and soul.

The video clip on Lazer Beams is about thirteen minutes long and worth viewing...

L'chaim!

Return Of The U.S.S.R.?

Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is making waves again.

Mr. Putin is a dangerous man, a criminal, and is no real friend of ours. His statements as of late are seemingly more bold, revealing what he really thinks...

WorldNetDaily has this.
NewsMax.com has this story.

Hamas TV Drops Militant Mickey Mouse

Ok...

So, having many voices speak their outrage against this 'mouse attack', has caused Hamas to reassess their position on the mouse.

Israelnetdaily.com provided the comment found on the on-line edition of the Jerusalem Post: 'Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian Information Minister, said the use of the cartoon character in such a role represented a "mistaken approach" to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.'

Mistaken approach? I would bet that they feel the only mistake was much of the western world getting in an uproar about it. They have demonstrated great will to teach their children to become a shahid for shuada (martyrs for suicide/homicide bombings).

Nuff said...

Nice Mouse or Dirty Rat?..

This story has been circulating the web and wanted to bring it here.

It is despicable what the adults, within these groups, will do to their children.They will stop at nothing to program the innocent , so to accomplish their goals of world domination. I have seen example after example of the innocence being removed from these children of the so-called palestinians and extremist mid-east groups.

There are those who have debated this story, saying they are being taught the importance of 'national pride' and a good education. You decide, based on the examples of behavior by these groups, it's hard to see anything but hatred, death and destruction...

Go to Palestinian Media Watch to see this example.

Spc. Josiah H. Vandertulip
21 years old from Irving, Texas
2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division
October 14, 2004


Louise Vandertulip fussed at her son about his spending. He bought wild, overpriced hats that had flames on them or horns coming out of the top, she said.

While in Army basic training, he bought portraits of himself. His mother told him to save his money.

She's glad he didn't listen.

The hats and the pictures are all a part of her memories now.

Spc. Josiah H. Vandertulip was killed in Baghdad when his patrol came under small arms fire.

Josiah Vandertulip joined the Army right after his graduation from Irving High School in 2002. He spent a year in South Korea before being stationed at Texas' Fort Hood in February. Against his mother's advice, he volunteered to go to Iraq. She told him to wait, to go to college.

"When he was determined to do something in his heart, he would do it and hell or high water couldn't keep him from it," she said

By going, he knew someone else with a young family could be saved from serving, relatives said.

He always had the important things right, Louise Vandertulip said.

"There's a lot of rest in knowing that he died doing what he believed in and doing what he thought was right," she said.

"We have a much more real sense of the cost for the freedom that we enjoy now," said his father, Robert Vandertulip.

"Josiah was the first brand new soldiers I recieved as a dismounted team leader in Korea. He was one of the Best soldiers I have had the honor to train and work with. He loved being a soldier as much as any guy I have met. He was a great leader in the absence of his superiors. I could always count on him to make sure the mission was accomplished. I watched him change over the year I had him from a goofy kid, to a hard charging soldier."

FIRE HIM! He Wants To Make Us See Righteousness...

A tenured professor at Glendale Community College is about to be fired for something American!
He, Walter Kehowski, simply sent out an e-mail to colleagues containing George Washington’s "Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1798.”

I don't know a lot about this professor, but he apparently is an outspoken man. Even so, can you imagine individuals taking the effort to bring down a professor, tenured nonetheless, because of an email that contains a bit of history from one of our greatest presidents.

The mistake the professor made was not sending something out of the Koran! Had he done so they would have cheered him and suggested he be rewarded!

Again, we have an example, that if anything is spoken or written about the founding principles of this great country of ours, it will be pissed on. The idiots in our country who want us to disappear, will b & m about anything that is not global or Koranic.

See the story here...

Why does our leadership, on various levels, cater to this?

It must stop!

SCAR Treatment For the Heart

As each day goes by I find I may have said or done something that I wish I hadn't. I don't mean the big, obvious, call the police type things... Just the little things, maybe a thought in my mind.

We are all alike, in many ways, as human beings and I think ultimately we want a peaceful life, at the very least, within ourselves.

My wife reminded of one of the links on this blog, Lazer Beams, and commented on how she has been enjoying the teachings there. So I looked...

I found this simple teaching to have power, to strengthen my heart. We are all on a journey and need fuel to continue.

So I invite you, any who are open to truth that may be outside of your 'label', to take a look at this short video. It's about eight minutes, and is a peaceful view, at least it was for me...

Hope you enjoy.

Photo Of The Week

iPod Around The World...



I found this photo on Seaspook's Rants and was entertained. I think this was in his 'Military Babes' category and it demonstrates that even the Ethiopian babes like their music too!

There were only two of us that replied, one was from Texas Fred, whose only utterance was "goddamn"... I couldn't help but laugh each time I read that. The other comment was from myself.

Listen, I hope no one finds this offensive, I'm sure there are those in her community who find this look very attractive!



Geeze, someone get Sigourney Weaver on the line...

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Echo9er

Hospitalman Luis E. Fonseca Jr.


On August 11, 2004, Naval Hospitalman Luis E. Fonseca, Jr. was awarded the Navy's second highest decoration. The Navy Cross, which is awarded for extraordinary heroism while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States and must be performed in the presence of great danger or at great personal risk, was awarded for his actions while serving with Amphibious Assault Vehicle Platoon, Company C, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, Task Force Tarawa, II Marine Expeditionary Force.

On March 23, 2004, Fonseca, Jr.'s unit were trying to take the Saddam Canal Bridge. Five Marines were injured when their vehicle was hit by an RPG. Fonseca, while still being fired upon by machine guns and RPG's, pulled the Marines to safety and established a casualty collection unit inside his own medical evacuation vehicle. After his vehicle was hit once again, Fonseca organized litter teams and directed the movement of four of the Marines, while personally carrying one wounded Marine over open ground to another vehicle. On November 15, 2004, Seaman Fonseca was awarded the "Grateful Nation Award" from the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs for his actions.

"I was doing my job," said Fonseca. "I wish I could have done more."

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
