More Good American Acts of Kindness

As the United States slides ever quicker into the abyss of moral decay thank God there are still folks out there like these people. Men and women who understand that life is bigger than themselves and act in a selfless manner. Stories like this make me think there is still hope for this country yet.

A naval officer who died while serving in Afghanistan is being remembered for his bravery by those who never met him thanks to a note left at a bar. On March 28, Bennigan's waitress Hannah Hobbs posted a photograph of a beer with a note that read, "In Memory of Lt. j.g. Francis Toner USN. Killed in action 27 March 2009, Baikh Province, Afghanistan. Non Sibi Sed Patriae. Not forgotten."

Toner and another soldier were killed when an Afghan soldier opened fire on four officers who were jogging along the perimeter of Camp Shaheen in Mazar-e Sharif. According to reports, the unarmed Toner verbally challenged the shooter and was gunned down. Toner's act of bravery distracted the shooter, which allowed another officer to seek help for the wounded. He was later posthumously awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest military decoration for valor. He was 26-years-old at the time of his death.

Hobbs said a man had come into the restaurant and asked to leave the beer and note at the bar for the rest of the day. However, Hobbs took the tribute to the fallen soldier to another level by taking a picture of the memorial and posting it to her Facebook account. She wrote, "I'm posting this pic so it can stay forever. So can I get some likes, people?" That is exactly what happened.

By Memorial Day, Hobbs's photo had received more than 1.2 million "likes" and had been shared more than 117,000 times! The gesture seems to be a growing trend over the past few years, with other bar patrons toasting America's soldiers in the same fashion.

Hobbs said it wasn't her intention for her personal gesture to go viral, but she wanted to keep the memorial tribute alive by posting it to Facebook. Hobbs said, "Several family and friends have served in the military, and I feel we don't do enough as a country to show our appreciation to those that put their lives on the line to keep us safe."

In response, Hobbs's employer started Bennigan's Wall of Heroes for customers to buy a beer and write a note to any former or current member of the United States military. The company also encourages Facebook posts to honor these heroes.

Through Memorial Day, the restaurant pledged to donate $1 for every photo to Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of U.S. service members.

Bennigan's is taking the kind gesture toward America's veterans one step further by offering a $10,000 discount to veterans who want to start their own Bennigan's franchise.

Memorial Day

Thank you...

George W. Bush

I got this email from my sister (who is no conservative). She got it from her friend in Kansas with two sons serving in the Army. Former President Bush and his wife are good people with a lot of class. The lefies who hate this man do not know enough about who he is and hate out of ignorance. I do not know enough about him to hate him but I can judge him by his actions and I can see his is a good man. Fuckin lefties and liberals all have to go one way or another.


This is true. It is a regular actvity of the USO in the Dallas area. Of course I would think that GW is not there every time.

Say what you want about GW's presidency he and Laura are a class act.

There's a group of ladies in the Dallas area who make and stuff neck pillows for soldiers coming through Dallas Fort Worth airport. They go to the airport and meet the incoming planes every week and greet the soldiers coming back for a few weeks R&R, give them a pillow, tell them they pray for them, and thank them for their service. The lady who took the pictures said everyone was so surprised to see George and Laura Bush recently just standing quietly in the waiting area with others who come to meet the troop planes. She said it was amazing to watch the faces of the soldiers light up in recognition when they spotted them and that many came over to speak and shake hands.

Who killed Bin Laden?

I don't know if this is true and I don't really care. What is here is true and right. Wake up all you swing state people and spread the word to get this anti-American regime out. Romney may not be the man we want be he is way better than what we have now. Oh what a great country this would be if we had a President Cheney for the last 3 1/2 years.

Who killed Bin Laden? Here's a Marine's answer.

Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor, who Obama, just a few weeks before, was debating on whether or not to PAY, did! In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court-martial three Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take-down and bloodied his nose. Obama's administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling them Nazi's and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden, the very brave men they vilified are now heroes when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public. Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the And our sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer, Yes or No, to him being taken out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!

OBAMA'S OWN WORDS TRAP HIM:

2008: "Navy Seal Team 6 is Cheney's private assassination team."

2011: "I put together Seal Team 6 to take out Bin Laden."



2008: "Bin Laden is innocent until proven guilty, and must be
captured alive and given a fair trial."

2011: "I authorized Seal Team 6 to kill Bin Laden."



2008: " Guantanamo is entirely unnecessary, and the detainees should not be interrogated."

2011: "Vital intelligence was obtained from Guantanamo detainees that led to our locating Bin Laden."




I HOPE THIS GETS SENT AROUND TO PEOPLE


WHO CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH!



Remind the people who vote, time to throw out the trash is nearly here.


Those who have had freedom and lost it will never see it again!"
