Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr has returned to Iraq after spending nearly four moths in hiding, presumably in Iran. Al-Sadr went into hiding at the start of the security crackdown that has worked to reduce the sectarian violence in Iraq. Al-Sadr’s first order of business upon his return was to demand that the United States [...]

Monday is Memorial Day. Most of us will spend the day with friends and family. There will be bar-b-ques, volleyball, picnics. The kids will enjoy having a day off from school and parents will be happy for a day off from work. But the meaning of Memorial Day involves more than coolers, hibachis and beach [...]

Memorial Day is meant to be a day to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending this country. But there are those who are choosing to make Memorial Day into a political event.

In response, a petition is being circulated on blogs and [...]

Concerns are justifiably high over the state of our military. The high operational tempo has sent our service members overseas at an alarming rate. Many active duty troops are working on their third, perhaps even a fourth combat deployment. For some of these service members they are returning home from a combat tour only to [...]
