It’s time. All the hours and days of hard work, meticulous preparation, bloody sweat, fighting through frustrations and setbacks, and pushing all the limits to be the best we can be – has all prepared us for this moment.

Benefits earned in an employment contract are denied based on ‘misbehavior’ by war-fighters whose fulfilled delivery on their end of the bargain leaves them with medical problems that will haunt them the rest of their lives, and the United Stated government is playing deceitful and corrupt games to find excuses for not fulfilling their end…
As a child, like most, I loved Christmas and presents. Even though my mom was poor she always went above and beyond. I remember one year she put a pair of Sasson jeans on lay-away for what seemed like months. When I finally got them I was so happy – but I immediately tore them…
“War, n: A by-product of the arts of peace.
