Let's remember those who are away from home this Christmas

Post by OakRidgeStars »

God bless our military. As we are fortunate enough to be home with our family at Christmas time, they are delivering the whoop-ass to the Taliban scum in Afghanistan. Let's keep them in our prayers during the holidays and throughout the year.

AMEN :thumbsup:
THE HIGH PRICE OF FREEDOM IS A COST PAID BY A BRAVE FEW. In memory of our fallen heroes.

Fox covered it.

Thanks to all who served and continue to do so.

No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...

We are asking everyone to say a prayer for "Darkhorse" 3rd Battalion 5th Marines
and their families.
They are fighting it out in Afghanistan & they have lost 9 marines in 4 days.

Lindsay Lohan, 24, gets her name and face all over the news because she went to jail.
Now she's getting it all over again for failing her drug test.

But: Nothing in the media about these guys because no one seems to care:

Justin Allen, 23,

Brett Linley, 29,

Matthew Weikert, 29,

Justus Bartett, 27,

Dave Santos, 21,

Chase Stanley, 21,

Jesse Reed, 26,

Matthew Johnson, 21,

Zachary Fisher, 24,

Brandon King, 23,

Christopher Goeke, 23,

Sheldon Tate, 27,

All are Marines that gave their lives for YOU this week.
