I got a humanitarian service medal for our support in the aftermath of Katrina. It's my favorite award.

Good Sir, we cannot thank you enough for your assistance in exposing Gene Gene the Killing machine. We, at the Watchmen of America, have never nor will ever tolerate stolen Valor.

Furthermore, the continued service you are providing our country is beyond what any words can convey. Thank you!

Lol

Good comments. The Stafford Act prevents FEMA from acting sooner in a lot of cases. The Governor has to request assistance from the federal government and the President has to sign it, before FEMA can put boots on the ground. Although this has become a quicker process over the years since Katrina, people still need to do their own preparedness for their own protection. Also, it is suggested or required that you evacuate, evacuate, don't just ride it out. It's not worth your life.

Katrina did catch many off guard due to the size and power, particularly the massive tidal surge. My family rode it out 3/4 of a mile from the beach, primarily due to the fact my wife is a nurse and had to report to work in an all hands situation, as she has for most of the hurricanes we have endured. We had food and water for a good spell, and made it to the other side of the worst conditions. But most of us were without power for much longer than anticipated. I also had plenty of ammo to repel looters. My one glaring oversight was not having enough brewskis. My wife managed to snag me an 8 pack of bud lite ponies from somewhere on her way home from work one day. I sucked them things down like nobody's bidness.

I'm glad he mentioned the fakes out there that claim to be Delta Force (1st SFOD-D), Special Forces, Rangers, Airborne, etc., because I've caught numerous people in lies claiming to be one or all over the years, to find out they were cooks, HR, or never even served. I'm glad Don's doing this, just wish there was a "Don" for all branches of the military, especially the elite units.

It truly is a beautiful N E Illinois day. No clouds, 74, breezy low humidity......oops Im working. Windows down in the car enjoying every minute of it. ( Im standing still now while typing) lol

Good afternoon all

You know what would be a fun game? We could get a couple subscribers, and a REAL Navy SEAL and not let Mr. Shipley use his computer and play like a phone version of To Tell the Trurh. He could ask like 10 questions and guess which ones the real deal. Ive learned so much I bet I could hang pretty good, there are also subscribers that have actually served and may be able to stump him!! Id love to watch that!!

New week has started. Hello my friends.
