My Hero


When you see this image of Spc. Zachery Boyd, 19 years old in his pink "I Love NY" boxers, and flip flops in a makeshift bunker what do you see?

When this image first appeared some reporters made fun of this young man. To me this soldier is my hero.

At 19 he is in another country fighting for our freedom, safety and rights. Spc. Boyd is awakened and has only seconds to get his gear, and head to the bunker to engage in a fire fight with Taliban militants. He grabs what he knows he needs: flack jacket, helmet and gun. For me that is what I would grab also. My last concern would be for how I am dressed.

Thank you Specialist Zachery Boyd from Fort Worth, Texas.Hoaah!!!!!!!

7 Years Ago Today

Please, don't forget why my son and thousands of other men, and women are serving our country in the various branches of the military.
Freedom is our national treasure, and we do have to protect it.

G-d bless America.
