(Editor's Note: American hearts broken over yesterday's tragic loss of 30 American soldiers, most of them elite Navy SEALs, include those of SEAL-for-Life Jim O'Neill and Marine Jerry McConnell. From foreign soil, Courageous SEALS have kept us living in freedom for decades. Today marks the 69th anniversary of McConnell's arrival on Guadalcanal and the beginning of the epic World War II battle.) "The circle of life begins at home midst family, then sometimes it ends away from home, but still in midst of family, now called friends. They were as much my brothers as if we shared the same last name. I couldn't have loved them more." Jerry McConnell -- First Marine Division, First Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion, K Company
It is important that as many Americans as possible wake up to the dire straits we are in, and it is especially important that the young adults of America wake up to how they are being led down a path to servitude, poverty, and mediocrity by the political/banking/corporate elites.
