I Just Found The Coolest Website!

I was over looking at Cox And Forkum's Site and found a link to this really neat website sponsored by the Department of Defense. It is called Heroes In The War On Terror and they have stories of American Heroes from all over the country.

The link that I supplied above will take you to a page where they show a map of the 50 states and you can click on each state and see men and women who have been decorated for valor in the Global War On Terror (GWOT.)

Here is a link that will take you to stories about heroes from my home state, North Carolina.

The story that Cox and Forkum linked to was about a soldier from the unit that my grandfather, Billy Miller, fought with during the campaign at Anzio during World War II. Here is the link to that story.

That reminds me. I met a very fine soldier while I was waiting at the Bank Of America on Innes Street in Salisbury, NC. He was home for some R&R from Afghanistan. I guess by now he is on his way back. He's a Blackhawk mechanic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he made an impression, and my prayers are with him. Thank you for serving so that I can be here. God bless our men and women in uniform and keep them safe. And God bless America.
