John Kerry's "Joke" No Laughing Matter?by Sherry Holetzky02 Nov 2006 07:39 AMBy now, most people have heard what John Kerry recently said about getting a good education or you'll "get stuck in Iraq." He tried to play it off, claimed that he simply misspoke, and that he had intended to bash the Commander in Chief instead of the troops (as if that were a good thing). Photographer of the Iwo Jima Flag Raising Photo Diesby Libby Pelham27 Aug 2006 04:28 PMI do not know if you caught this in the news headlines, but the photographer who took one of the most famous war photos ever - the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima - recently passed away at the age of 94. Yeah, But We Are the Bad Guys!by Libby Pelham25 Aug 2006 12:01 PMEvery time I turn on the news, it seems that most countries hate us.

Since the North Carolina heat made it feel like it was about 1,000 degrees outside, I stopped by the Wendy's in the shopping center next to the Commissary. Ways to Thank the Troopsby Cindy McKie17 Apr 2006 02:17 PMSupporting military troops has always been an important issue with me. Many members of my family serve or have served their country so, from a young age, I learned what it was like to have a family member possibly in harm's way and the sacrifices they give. Taliban Views Canada as Weakby Cindy McKie10 Apr 2006 04:35 AMAs Canada's Members of Parliament are gathering in order to discuss Canada's role in Afghanistan it would seem the eyes of the Taliban are upon us. An article from Canoe.ca reports that terrorists see this meeting as a sign that Canada's resolve in the fight against terrorism is weakening. Dishonoring the Deadby Cindy McKie05 Apr 2006 02:34 PMWhile reading through some older news columns this morning I came across a letter to an editor that caused my hackles to rise.
