Remember This?
Sunday, July 21st, 2013July 4th, The Birth Of A Nation
Thursday, July 4th, 2013
Although the Continental Congress voted on July 2nd to declare independence from Great Britain and the Declaration itself was not actually signed until 2 August, we celebrate this day as the birthdate of this great Nation.

Sunday, June 30th, 2013A friend of mine named Dave, who happens to be a Retired Navy SEAL, sent this photo to me of an old magazine he had lying around the house.

Coming Soon from Panteao Productions – The Battle of the Black Sea
Saturday, December 22nd, 2012
I’m pretty excited about this coming out. I heard awhile back that Panteao Productions had been interviewing Mogadishu Veteran Paul Howe about his experience. I have a feeling this is going to be good.
On October 3, 1993 a group of US Rangers and Special Operations soldiers set out on a mission into the heart of the Bakara market in Mogadishu. What started as a mission that should have lasted 30 minutes turned into a battle for their lives. Known by these men as the Battle of the Black Sea and later portrayed in the motion picture Black Hawk Down, here is the untold story of that battle. Coming soon in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and streaming from the Panteao website.

In the early morning hours of 20 December, 1989 US forces began Operation Just Cause which resulted in the liberation of the nation of Panama from the Noriega regime.
