Dover Air Force Base

Gates decries distribution of dying Marine's photograph

SHAME I am "very" shamed of the associated press, that they would go ahead and release a photo of a mortally wounded marine, over the objections of the marines father! The Secretary of Defense was correct in citing the action of the Associated Press as "appalling. " We know that war is "Hell" however, (seemingly) the press lacks compassion and respect for families of the fallen... Bottom line, the last thing this country can do is respect and enforce those wishes of the family!  (Sep 5, 2009 | post #1)

Dogs helping injured soldiers under gov't program

I am thankful that there are volunteers that are will and trained to help our injured soldiers. However. I feel this program utilizing trained service dogs is a wonderful opportunity and should not be looked down upon as ungratefulness. Animals have a history of helping people with challenges from all types of situations. Most large communities have special service dogs that go to hospital and nursing homes, etc... Listen, If that dog can help Army Spt. Cameron Braggs have an opportunity for a more better life, then I am thankful to God for the soldier's, "little battle buddy".  (Jul 14, 2009 | post #2)

Editor Statement

I had been praying this prayer "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory that Your Hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain! So God granted him what he requested. 1 chronicles 4:10 Thus, I consider this opportunity of being a Topix Editor" the answer to my prayers... My thoughts and prayers are with our military, leaders, families and friends of those servings...
