Why The Blue Falcon?
The falcon is a predator. Blue is the color of the sky and the last thing you want to experience is a bird set on your 6 to devour you so the Blue Falcon seems rather appropriate given the nature of its breeding and what it was designed by nature to do!
“A falcon is any one of 37 species of raptor in the genusFalco, widely distributed on all continents of the world.Peregrine falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth. Other falcons include the gyrfalcon, lanner falcon, and the merlin. Some small falcons with long narrow wings are called hobbies, and some which hover while hunting are called kestrels. The falcons are part of the family Falconidae, which also includes the caracaras, laughing falcon, forest falcons, and falconets.” (Source: Wikipedia)

US Congress Officially Changes America’s Name. Just what exactly is Congress doing again? Did anyone catch this in the New York Times, Washington Post or La Times? Hell no! We missed this highly eventful yet secretive push by Congress to change America’s name. In a dark, recessed cove in the hallways of American politics the government reached a unanimous decision to change America’s name!
Wanna know why you didn’t catch it? Cause you weren’t even born yet!
So while we are on the subject of changing names and declaring our sovereignty away from Great Britain let’s remember we are free, we are sovereign and no outside dictator, king, parliament, or authority shall take our freedoms away again and whether we prefer to call ourselves United States citizens or Americans we are still born free till the day we die!
So what is all this hullabaloo?
In 1776 Congress Did What?
The term “United States” was adopted by the second Continental Congress to be used instead of the “United Colonies.” Ah. Ok. Now I get it.
So what other decisions over the years has baffled the American public? Congress and state legislators have been cooking up laws to this day are amazing if not borderline crazy. I would diagnose most of them as recovering from PTSD but I wouldn’t rank them as high or even close to the level of integrity our men and women in uniform have. So lets see what these carpetbaggers have concocted in our states over the years! One s
In 2013 Congress Did What?
“When did we decide that we wanted a law that could make unlocking your smartphone a criminal offense? The answer is that we never really decided.”
The list can go on and on and this is only the tip of the ice berg. In session alone Congress spent days deliberating on the condition that the United States call yogurt its official snack. American taxpayers flipped the bill paying for our elected leaders time as they discussed this in Congress.
Stupid Laws as Seen on Youtube!
So what do we know?
The 1st Amendment (A Great Law) is still the law of the land.
The 2nd Amendments (A Great Law) is still the law of the land no matter how screwed up Congress is trying to take away our God given rights.
This helps us to identify who we are as a people, that we are sovereign, free and we will not allow anyone to take this away.
The phrase Corpsman Up is a sound, a call, a yell that a wounded Marine is in need of medical care. It is not known to all civilian walks of life that the United States Navy Corpsman works and fights right alongside the US Marines. One of the flag raisers at the Battle Of Iwo Jima was a Navy Corpsman.
Where you find Marine grunts you will always find a US Navy Corpsman.
Who Are US Navy Corpsman?
“Corpsmen stationed with a Marine unit or far out at sea on a Navy warship often find themselves in volatile, life-threatening emergency situations. There are often no sterile operating rooms and equipment. Doctors and nurses are often miles, if not hours, away. As one author wrote, “Bunkers become operating rooms, shirts become tourniquets, and corpsmen become miracle workers.” (Source: thetandd.com)
Corpsman Up!
Up at the front and filled with fear, he pleads with God, don’t leave me here. Wounded and bleeding and hunched with pain, thrown on his back in the mud and the rain Others went down, some hit, all scared; no one moved, no one dared. We’d moved swiftly through the paddy mire, and then it happened; enemy fire It’s Corpsman Up,” when things get hot, the nearest thing to God, we’ve got “Corpsman Up,” to save a breath. “Corpsman Up,” in the face of death. Stop the bleeding, treat for shock; no time for hesitation “Doc” Patch him up and get him back; back to the rear; call a medevac Operating room well lit and clean; Doctors waiting, dressed in green. Operate with speed and skill, experts with a determined will. Save lives or limbs to save dreams, no matter how impossible it seems. Work on in a sweat in mud and grime; to save a life . . . there’s not much time. You joined the navy to learn your trade, went to school, and made the grade. It’s “Corpsman Up,” when the rounds are flying; “Corpsman Up,” when men are dying. You’re one of us, a grunt of grit; like it or not you just can’t quit. “Corpsman Up,” step from the ranks. “Corpsman Up,” and accept our thanks. Gysgt Tom Bartlett (Source: Corpsmanup.us)
