Memorial Day 2006
From CoxandForkum.com:
Please remember those who have served, are serving, or have served and given the ultimate sacrifice for this country and her citizens. Especially remember those Chicago Police very far from home this Memorial Day. Drop them a line if you can or check on their families. A small gesture goes a long way.
UPDATE: Rue St. Michel has a post up too. As do most of our links. Surf around. Visit and appreciate what we have in this country.

How about some good news for a change?
Just when we thought there wasn't much hope for our youth based upon our jaded versions of kids we deal with day-in, day-out, there's hope, my brothers-in-blue.

While there, drop him a note of appreciation. While were on the topic, take a moment Monday to pray for all our veterans. If you have a flag–FLY IT!
Stay safe.

No thank you here.

To the above person:
I am reasonably sure that no veteran or even another American has done anything in any way to request a thank you from YOU! You appear to be a bitter little prick, probably taken off your mothers tit too soon. I'm not pissed off at you because I don't want anything from you. You are however an insensitive little moron to say something like that on a space where others are thanking their dead fathers. Enjoy your holiday.
By the way....Thanks Mike
Walking through the park today
The sun was set out west
He asked if he could share my bench
He needed to take a rest
I asked him what brought him out
On such sultry day
He said he often sits alone
And thinks of friends, and prays
He prays for friends who fought in war
The souls he left behind
Young, brave, courageous and true
They fought for all mankind
But as he rose to leave that bench
I stood to shake his hand
I thanked him for the life I have
And the freedom in our land
So if you’re at a parade this day
Have fun but don’t forget
The price that was paid for our liberty
For this you can thank a vet.
God Bless America.
Thank you military and all our brother's and sister's currently serving, Bless all vet's.
I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Memorial Holiday.
Thank you to all our Veterans and those who currently serve.
If you have relatives that served/serve, please support your local VFW.
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free,
and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
and I'll proudly stand next to him to defend her still today,
cuz there aint no doubt I love this land, god bless the usa

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AT HOME AND ABROAD
The General Order on Handling Prisoners in Need of Medical Treatment requires same sex guards so the female officers were correct. On the other hand, they should have gone to the hospital and relieved you in a timely manner and then requested to be relieved.
Just my 2Cents. Now you can stop whinning.

CORRECT, SORT OF...IF IT'S AN ACTUAL GUARD DETAIL (THE PRISONER HAS BEEN ADMITTED - ADMITTED BEING THE KEY WORD HERE) THEN YOU ARE CORRECT SIR, SAME SEX GUARDS.
IF THE PRISONER IS JUST GETTING EMERGENCY ROOM TREATMENT (IE. THEY'RE IN BED#1), THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING A FEMALE GUARD A GUY AND VICE VERSA, ALTHOUGH WE TRY TO FIND ATLEAST ONE PERSON ON THE CAR WHO'S SAME SEX AS THE PRISONER.
I also know a self admitted expert in the Sgt. testing program. This person told me that the second half of the exam will have at least one question regarding your true name/identity, possibly the question being: NAME__________________________
This person stated that he is about 93.2 percent sure that this question will arise during the second half. So be prepared.
Sincerely,
Ronnie "Backdoor Man" Lubberman

To all members of the CPD who have sons and daughters in harms way in the military on this Memorial Day;
May the Lord grant you at least one hour of uninterupted sleep as your worry weighs heavy on your mind in the middle of the night. Take comfort and pride that they have the courage and guts to serve the greatest country in the history of civilization.
to the moron who said " no thank you here"
First I agree that no veteran asked you to thank him or her
Next you are reaping the benefits of living here I assume you do anyway
Lastly if you dopnt like it here or what we stand for, planes fly out of OHare too

To retired PO:
If a guy (woman?) wants to comment with a "no thank you" who cares? That is their right, isn't it?
The last three posts were from the same IP address. Memorial day must be a tough day for Communists and socialists and Democrats and the like........
to 04:59 PM
Yep its his right to say no thanks
Its my right to tell him to go get fucked.Or are you one of the new breed slick sleeves that knows everything?
And by the way it is terrible how the government treats veterans I agree with 04:54
>>>>You mean the one that took it away from the Native Americans and enslaved millions of mules and denied millions of veterans their benifits over issues like Agent Orange in Vietnam..etc..etc.. etc..????
brainwashing is soooo easy sometimes -- hut, hut, hut semper fi !<<<<<<
If you Democrats hate America so much, why do you stay?
everyone is such a tough guy blogger....get a life

Man Fails to Pay for Gas; Owner Shoots
The Associated Press
May 26, 2006 9:28 PM (2 days ago)
LIVINGSTON, La. - Deputies arrested a store owner accused of shooting out two tires on a customer's vehicle after the customer said he had no money to pay for gasoline, spokesman Jason Ard of the Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office said Thursday.
The motorist had pumped $36.50 worth of gasoline, then discovered he didn't have the money to pay for it, Ard said. An argument with the store owner followed.
When the motorist tried to leave, the grocery store owner fired a shot that hit one of the customer's tires, then fired a second shot into another tire after the driver pulled back into the parking lot, deputies said.
Deputies booked Nardeep S. Bhullar, 25, the owner of Singhs Grocery, with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and illegal discharge of a firearm.
Deputies also booked Chaz R. Watkins, 18, of Holden with theft of gasoline, Ard said.

I am extremely PISSED.
This morning I went to the cemetary to place flowers on the graves of my grandparents.
Later, there was a service courtesy of the VFW paying tribute to our Veterans gravesites.
Out of respect, I placed my hand over my heart and stood in place out of respect. Some other visitors there did not know what to do, one of which did not remove his hat.
This country has apparantly FORGOTTEN any sense of patriotism whatsoever. Barely saw any flags hanging outdoors, etc.
Maybe we need to ship THEM to Iraq...
what a joke
God bless George W. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!
HAPPY DEAD SOLDIERS DAY!!!!
Memorial Day is about remembering our fallen. Period. We respect, honor and remember our dead servicemen and servicewomen.
Veteran's Day is the day to thank the living vets. Today is for those who have given their life for this Country in war.
