Dump Murtha

Blogs for Bush is urging readers to donate to the campaign of Diana Irey, who is opposing John Murtha for congress in Pennsylvania. So, I did — it’s my little way of supporting our military and calling “Jack the Ripoff” for what he is – a cut and run coward who is long overdue to get out of public service.

Please donate to Diana Irey if you can.

Also, BFB directed us to a new blog: Murtha Must Go. The new blog was started by a military mom DAD.

UPDATE: Somehow I got the gender wrong for the proprietor of Murtha Must Go – He’s a military Dad.

Over 10 Million Served

This morning, the meter on the Never Forget graphic animation tribute ticked over 10 million. Seen on hundreds of blogs and websites in countries around the world, this little tribute reminds us of what happened on 9/11/2001 and that we must not forget and keep our resolve to defeat terrorism and Islamofacism wherever and whenever we must.

In the interest of completeness, the graphic was updated around the time that Flight 93 appeared in theaters to include an image of the makeshift memorial in that Pennsylvania field.

Coalition Forces Kill Al Zarqawi

VIDEO UPDATE: Little Green Footballs — Candygram for Zarqawi

Maybe this is only symbolic since there is almost certainly going to be another Zarqawi terror clone, but it’s good news for the Military and for progress in the war on terror. It looks like cooperation between Iraqi security forces and the Coalition is finally starting to kick in.

From CENTCOM:

ZARQAWI DEAD

Coalition forces kill Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Multi-National Force-Iraq Commanding General, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., announced the death of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi in the following statement during a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad June 8:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Coalition forces killed al-Qaida terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi and one of his key lieutenants, spiritual advisor Sheik Abd-Al-Rahman, yesterday, June 7, at 6:15 p.m. in an air strike against an identified, isolated safe house.

“Tips and intelligence from Iraqi senior leaders from his network led forces to al-Zarqawi and some of his associates who were conducting a meeting approximately eight kilometers north of Baqubah when the air strike was launched.

“Iraqi police were first on the scene after the air strike, and elements of Multi-National Division – North, arrived shortly thereafter. Coalition forces were able to identify al-Zarqawi by fingerprint verification, facial recognition and known scars.”

Hot Damn! The only good terrorist is a DEAD terrorist!

UPDATE Excerpt from President Bush’s statement this morning:

“Now Zarqawi has met his end, and this violent man will never murder again. Iraqis can be justly proud of their new government and its early steps to improve their security. And Americans can be enormously proud of the men and women of our armed forces, who worked tirelessly with their Iraqi counterparts to track down this brutal terrorist and put him out of business.”
. . .

“We have tough days ahead of us in Iraq that will require the continued patience of the American people. Yet the developments of the last 24 hours give us renewed confidence in the final outcome of this struggle: the defeat of terrorism threats, and a more peaceful world for our children and grandchildren. ”

Support for the Marines

While the mainstream media jumps into a frenzy about the incident in Haditha, Iraq, we’re going to take the position that in America, and certainly in the military, the credo of innocence before guilt applies. We’re saddened by the loss of life, and the allegations that there was wrongdoing, but beyond that we will wait to see how this plays out.

Meanwhile, we assert that the men and women of the U.S. Marine Corps and all of the Military are, by and large, the finest, most professional military ever. We continue to support them both spiritually and by helping out military-oriented charities when we can.

At a recent military event, the Marines brought this nice toy and other exhibits to celebrate Armed Forces Day.

Bike Riders Complete 9/11 Honor Tour

In March, we wrote about Tom Heidenberger’s memorial bike ride to honor the memory of the 33 flight crew members that were killed on 9/11/2001. Tom and his riders have now completed their journey.

Bike riders travel 3,800 miles to honor 33 victims of 9-11

The cyclists made the pilgrimage from Los Angeles to the three crash sites to raise money and awareness of the Sept. 11 memorials.

Thomas Heidenberger ended his cross-country bike ride this month the same way he started: asking himself what the heck he was thinking.

He knew, of course. He had done it for his wife, Michele, a flight attendant killed aboard a hijacked airplane on Sept. 11, 2001. He had done it for all 33 airline crew members killed that day.

The ride had taken him and four other riders from Los Angeles to a wind-swept field in Pennsylvania, a gaping hole in Manhattan, the scarred Pentagon in Washington. They did it to raise money and awareness for Sept. 11 memorials, and they dedicated each day of their ride to one of the crew members.

The Airline Ride Across America was supposed to raise $300,000 for the Sept. 11 memorials in Pennsylvania, New York and Washington. It has raised about a third of that so far, and Heidenberger hopes to raise the rest with his Web site, www.airlineride.org.

He’s working on a book about the ride, and talks about dividing it into 33 chapters, each with a short biography of one of the crew members killed on Sept. 11. He thinks he may call it Why I Rode My Bicycle for 3,800 Miles.

“It’s a good story, a happy story,” he said. “It’s a story about life continuing on.”

This is a very touching story where each day the riders dedicated their ride for that day to one of the 33 crew member victims. The last day’s ride was dedicated to Tom’s wife, Michelle, Read the whole story.
