Michael “Mad Mike” …
* This tattoo was too cool not to share. My lunch date (see pic below – tall guy) had this on his leg. He was hit by an RPG and is missing some of the muscles in his leg. He can still press 500 pounds and competes in events (marathons, triathlons – you name it) …

Below is an essay done by a little Patriot who I adore, had to share. “I have a dream that the war in Iraq will end. I want us to have a victory and have a treaty with them. No more suicide bombings and no more deaths. The soldiers will go home and be reunited …

Aspiring to become a bigger player in the media, I’ve recently committed myself to writing a weekly post/column that would be worthy of syndication. Blogging is something that comes naturally, but honing those writing skills into something worthy of publication takes a greater effort. Being “all over the place” on my radio show and my …
