Coupla things

| March 25, 2009

I get a lot of stuff in my inbox that folks want you guys to know about and I don’t know what to do with it sometimes, so here’s a coupla things;

Since she’s ALWAYS thinking about the troops, tankerbabe wants to remind you that today is National Medal of Honor Day.

The 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America have a piece up about the undue command influence that tainted the Haditha investigation.

Cassandra Sperry of Global News sends an article by Jean Mackenzie entitled “Exclusive: Former Taliban see opening for talks

The folks at Ranger Up have a new T-shirt for Marines they want you to buy.

USMCdaughter1 wants you to know that the NJ National Guard is home and that “A Welcome Home ceremony is being planned for them on Tuesday, June 9th at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton. Volunteers will need to be at the Arena at 8am and festivities will go on til 4pm.”

The guy who sat next to me in the turret of our Bradley during our three-country tour sends that the VA is warning 3200 patients in Florida that they might have gotten HIV from improperly sterilized equipment.

Anything I missed? Drop it here in the comments.

Added: Oh, yeah – Mom wants you to see the tufted titmouse that’s been at her feeder all winter.

That VA HIV issue is not a good one. But, I believe the likelyhood of any of those people being infected is slim. HIV doesn’t survive any kind of heat very well. Let’s hope for the best.

As for that titmouse…LOVE IT!!!

While I hope your in box doesn’t explode with all of the little tidbits you seem to be gathering….I’m thinkin’ “Coupla Things” could become a weekly feature here. Well done! All good stuff.

Yeah, well, as for the titmouse….

I went to Belize exclusively to see the Blue Footed Boobies that I was repeatedly told were there in large numbers. I spent a lot of money to go down there, get out to the middle of a jungle, only then to find out it was some bird. Talk about pissed off…
