America's Son: The Small Stuff
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2007/08/small-stuff.html
Sunday, August 12, 2007. Lettuce. She doesn't want to listen to me, so I helped her listen.). As a father however, there is no such thing as small stuff. Every word and every action of my children are crucial to their development. He and I see it almost everyday and it sickens me. She wielded it, but rather because my Father would eventually read it's damning words. Get in trouble in school or at a friend's house meant you were guaranteed. Not hardly. Do my daughter's understand it now? I was also raised...

America's Son: November 2007
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2007. In Search of Normal. I was thinking the other day about how long it has been since I've posted - and it has been a while. I began to reminisce. Enclave (and they did this often), they had to lose their fear of death. How else could they do it? Every door that those Marines and I busted down over there, could have been our last. I remember early on in my deployment thinking as we rode down MSR. His answer caused me a great deal of concern. It was the right answer, and I kn...

America's Son: 1*
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2008/09/1.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. At any given moment, I could be placed into a position where my individual decision could in one second, totally and irreversibly affect lives. Why? Why would I or any man for that matter, want this amount of responsibility on their shoulders? Why would any man want to be the one to have to make the decision that could forever alter the personal landscape of another man's legacy? And good to see you posting again, as well. Very good, indeed :-). You have a good blog.

America's Son: "He's Got a Knife! I'm Going to Shoot!"
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2009/03/hes-got-knife-im-going-to-shoot.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. He's Got a Knife! I'm Going to Shoot! Would I have been justified in shooting Mr. Reed that night? Link to the story and video from WAVY TV 10 : http:/ www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local wavy Suffolk police standoff with armed man 20090318. I was googling for the exact Roosevelt quote on courage and stumbled upon your site. This led me to read several of your articles and commentaries. I deeply admire men of your statue and moral - and wish this world had more people like you. My heart...

America's Son: May 2007
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 21, 2007. I'm college-educated, highly-experienced and I could be successful in so many other professional careers. So why in the world, every day that I go to work, do I follow my badge into the some of the most dangerous and vile environments that I've seen since Iraq? I know the more I fight, the less they will have to. I know the more they hurl their filth at me, the less will be spoken to my family. I know the more they spit on me, the less will land on my family. View my complete profile.

Monday, December 18, 2006. Well, friends.I've made it to the next chapter. I just completed my first week on the street with my Field Training Officer ( FTO.

To be honest, at first it really didn't catch my attention.A child playing a video game. And then it happened.My FTO. Come from the television. " Woah. They have no concept ...

America's Son: April 2007
http://americas-son.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Folks, I believe that we are sleeping in the bed that we have made for ourselves. Could that demon-possessed rampage have been caused by something earlier in his childhood or teenage years? Possibly. Are there those who are being steered in that same direction by our culture's paradigm shift? You better believe it. I see it everyday. Wednesday, April 18, 2007. In the Sheepdog's Absence. It frustrates me to know that my enemies have won again. I fight evil, and evil has once...

Monday, June 11, 2007. Living With Our Scars. There are times when I am reminded of the emotional scars that I bear from Adam's death in Iraq. A post from my dear friend. I cried because this letter, while not written to Adam, reminded. Next to me against the tide of evil, Maj. Mendoza Sir, I would have you. Semper. Your father fought for many things, but always remember, he fought for you. As you fight this battle we call life, you will find your challenges greater, your adversity larger, your enemi...

Saturday, March 10, 2007. In Defense of the Defenseless. Are palpable. The faces which you see say nothing, but the eyes speak volumes. We have just become a parasite; a virus which threatens to harm this semblance of a body. My training is screaming in my head."HANDS! But I can see none. They are all buried down the front of pants or tucked under shirts. Yet much to your amazement, I drive on.slowly. Why? Do the bulk of them respect the rule of law or the laws of human decency? The current nuclear arms ...
