Thanks go out to all of my friends in cyber-land for your patience with me over the course of the years. Your faith and inspiration is the only reason I’m still here. A special hat tip goes out to the Gray Dog and John Kerry for influencing me during the 2004 election cycle. Kerry was the last straw for this Vietnam Vet and was the ultimate wakeup call. The Gray Dog made me realize we could still make a difference, and that the war was still at hand, just in a different realm.

Our latest additions to the web:
Rurik has assembled a good team that you need to check out. Thumbs up to all of you!

I try to ignore the gravity of our current situation for the most part, but physics always wins out in the long run folks. It’s like everything else: you either learn to live with it, or die trying. After all, life is a challenge by nature. If it isn’t, well, you’re probably just not doing something right.

IOR would also like to welcome James Rawles to the blog roll.


Here’s the picture I used for the above graphics. It’s the bugs bottom taken from the backside of the web. See the eyes, that’s the illusion. Reality wins again folks…….
Here’s the view from topside.
And that should explain that.

My good friend Gray Dog and Ron Winter both attended the Gathering of Eagles in DC March 14-15 2008. I received my signed copy of Rons book today. Thanks Gray Dog, it’s an excellent read, very hard to put down. Ron does an excellent job of explaining what it takes to be a Marine and how you get there. Thanks go out to both of you!
Update 04/21/08: Well as it turns out, I couldn’t put it down and finished it last night. Vietnam was a whole lot different than it was portrayed by the MSM, as is still the case today. Those of us who fought along side of our Montagnard and Vietnamese friends gave it our all and know the true story. We’ve seen the man behind the curtain…….
