Every blogger, whether big or small, has some bragging rights. Here are the few links/ trackbacks I have collected along the way. Some were good and fun, and some caused a horrible flame storm.

Regardless, the record shows I took the blows, and did it ... you know the rest.

    About Us...

    Knee Deep in the Hooah! was started by me, Claire, when my son was first deployed to Iraq in April of 2007. My husband left for BCT and OCS the next month -hence the name, because I was knee deep in the Army at the time. Since the start of the blog my son has returned home safely from his first 15-month tour during the troop surge. He is now married and is facing another deployment this year to Afghanistan. My husband, Damon (cartoonist of the Delta Bravo Sierra) suffered a severe fracture during training and is currently rejoining the Army after a long rehab period. He will serve in the Army Reserves.

    In recent months I have added guest authors including my husband and son. Other awesome contributing authors are "Brat" of Assoluta Tranquillita, "Ky Woman" of Little Drops… Into the Pool of Life, Cathy - a dear friend, and Wendy of Mike D’s Army Mom.

    Take a moment and browse through our articles. I am a creative writer, so there will be a showcase of some of my creative pieces. Enjoy!

Veteran Whose American Flag Was Vandalized Gets Replacement From Iraq

I found the following update on foxnews.com
Patrick Best, after serving with the Army for two tours in Iraq, brought home an American flag that once flew over his base near Mosul, but he wasn’t sure what to do with it — until he heard about Ed Jordan.
Jordan, who served in the Marines in the 1950s, [...]

Democrats Refuse To Stand For Pledge — Say it isn’t so!

Don’t question their patriotism people.  Don’t question their troop support. We are at war and these elected officials couldnt’ get off of their lazy, tax-supported butts to show some respect to our flag, our Country and our troops. Throw these jerks to the curb. A jackass of the day alert is being issued.

Honoring our Heroes
Staff Sergeant Powers
March 13, 1923 – June 17, 2009

My dear friend Dick Kramer, the artist behind Sniper’s Brew, sent me a note today that touched on some thoughts I’ve had this week as the media focuses its attention on the death of well known celebrities. Not only did Dick’s own son, Steve, serve in the Marine Corps, but as a tactical artist Dick comes in touch with America’s finest men and women in uniform on a regular basis. I know it bothers Dick and what I’m constantly aware of is that too often America doesn’t focus enough attention on our patriots. And that’s the sad truth. The death of Staff Sergeant Darrell “Shifty” Powers went largely unreported.
