Memorial Day

A reminder from the US Marines.

The history of the first and last man killed in every major US conflict.

We used to know the names of our heroes. Today our media makes porn star Stormy Daniels more famous than Master Chief Britt Slabinski who was awarded the Medal of Honor this week. That's just wrong.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- What did the Dalai Lama know and when did he know it? Thailand arrests senior monks in temple raids to clean up Buddhism.

- How a weakened ESPN became consumed by politics.

- Master Chief Britt Slabinski - Medal of Honor recipient. Where do we find such men?

- I see this and immediately wonder if the title of the piece is The Passion of the Willie.

- F-35 1 - Russian Defensive Systems 0 (but don't get cocky)

- Interesting - HGH as a treatment for stroke victims

- Local hero Stephen Mindich passes. WFNX was always the first station I'd turn to on my car radio.
