QUICK!!! Memorial Day Contest... What should I post on FB?

Please don't devolve this into a discussion of FB. I'm already public, identified, not scared, too late, etc.

Give me something I should share with people.

omg, don't tell AF. lol

TY for the submission. I'm about to log off the net to hang around with people in my neighborhood, so that's why I have a sense of urgency.

thx, all. Contest over. I'm going to go hang out with a bunch of people in real life, who aren't exactly like me. :)

But in time, they all agree with me more. I remember in 2007 or so, people thought it was crazy to have extra drinking water. 5 years later... no one thinks that's crazy anymore. That's progress, and I'll take that over "I told you so" every day of the week.

If it were me, I'd post "Goodbye Forever Facebook", then permanenty close my acct, then block the website and every IP so my computer never tells Fedbook what websites Im visiting ever again.

But thats just me.

Doesnt matter if youre not scared, the real terror comes when you have someone kick in your front door for being associated with Ron Paul. You wont be scared until it is too late. But since they havent come yet, it is not too late to forever remove yourself from that accursed spywhore site.

Well , you may like to post the story of Cpl Desmond Thomas Doss , who as a Seventh Day Adventist was a conscientous objector, in WW2 . As a PFC medic on Okinawa in the 77th Inf Bn, was awarded the Medal of Honor for carrying back 75 wounded,one @ a time, that was the first day, by the end , rifle butt strapped to his broken arm ( holding it together ) , he was the most famous man in the Battalion. He was born , 1919 ,from Lynchburg , Va if I recall , died in Piedemont , Al , 2006 , I think. That is what you should put up. Me , I will put up nothing. I never got to meet him , I will cut wood , drink and think of things I have long forgotten......

Even though contest is closed, I agree with the others, post the link to that Open Letter to the Troops: You’re Not Defending Our Freedoms.

If you're looking for a second thing to post later that's also patriotic but not quite as heavy duty, to reach those on FB after the beer and BBQ have settled in.... (Yes I'm pimping my video, hope no one is offended. I don't deny it. I'm a sonofabitch video pimp tonight.)

They say the Japanese soldiers stopped firing at him because they admired his courage so much. At least, that's what our tour guide said.

Citation:


He was a company aid man when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet (120 m) high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar and machinegun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them 1 by 1 to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On May 2, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards (180 m) forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and 2 days later he treated 4 men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within 8 yards (7.3 m) of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making 4 separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On May 5, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small arms fire and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet (7.6 m) from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards (91 m) to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On May 21, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, by a sniper bullet while being carried off the field by a comrade, this time suffering a compound fracture of 1 arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards (270 m) over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.[1] SOURCE - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_...
