Remembering F-Flight On Veterans Day.

Never Forget.

Except for this part: My prayers go out to those whose loved ones were killed or injured on 9/11. My gratitude goes out to those who tried to save them.

One veteran’s thoughts on being patriotic in the face of conflict.
How do you maintain your patriotism when surrounded by peers who don’t share the same values? How do you work within the system to effect positive change? These were some of my challenges as I served in the Air Force. I joined the Air Force for all the right reasons, I… [read full post]

Breaking my political silence.
I am an independent voter and have never been a member of any political party. I have avoided talking about politics on this blog. Today I have added a “politics” category (for those who want to avoid it) and I explain why I’m voting for Barack Obama for… [read full post]
