“God Bless You for continuing to walk point for the rest of us. Reading you has made me a better writer because I’m back off autopilot, paying attention, and really thinking about what I say [and the way] when I write. Hold your ground. We got your six.”

“I am a high tech professional…” “…To say he had a rough time in and out of the US Army would be an understatement of extreme proportions. As an American who supports our service men and woman who are asked to do seemingly impossible missions under extremely difficult circumstances, I would like to go to bed at night knowing I am doing all I can to help. I resist taking for granted my comfortable life which is owed directly to [Universal Soldier] who takes his oath of service to the extreme…”

“Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your blogs…” “Thank you for your service to our country. You sound like a very interesting man that has lots of worldly experience and I like the way you think. I am sorry you have PTSD/TBI issues. PTSD has become my passion because so many of my Soldiers and Marines are coming home w/combat stress.”

“You are doing an amazing job and I think the time had come for you to have your own site and your own identity. You have So much to share and such an amazing mind.”

You honor me as I hope you see that I honor you. When I first read some of your blogs in the beginning, I saw a man with a lot of love for his country to help those who feel lost in this crazy world we live in, find direction. You can write and do it well. Some of your blogs can only be understood by those who have been bloodied in defense of America, the Constitution and our brothers in arms. So when you hit one of those mental blocks when writing, step back, take a deep breath and listen to your heart. God Bless and my prayers are with you.
On your six, B.G., United States

You mentioned me setting the bar high. I respectfully disagree, it was you who set the bar. I only strive to reach it. When you said that “sinister load we speak of is merely the tip of an iceberg that is lurking to sink our Republic”, you said a mouthful! You said more in one sentence than most people could say in a 20 min. speech. Merle Haggard said it well in a song. “We keep rollin’ down hill like a snowball headed for Hell.” If patriots, REAL PATRIOTS, like you and I, don’t band together and get the word out, our children and grandchildren will grow up in a terrible place.
Ive been meaning to read this and just never got a accnhe. Its an issue that Im extremely interested in, I just started reading and Im glad I did. Youre a excellent blogger, 1 of the finest that Ive seen. This blog undoubtedly has some information and facts on topic that I just wasnt aware of. Thanks for bringing this stuff to light.
As Merle Haggard said in a song, let’s “Stop rollin downhill like a snowball headed for hell. Stand up for the flag and let’s all ring the Liberty Bell”. Glad someone is looking out for us. Thanks [Universal Soldier]!
Copy that! Rock on. Got your six Bravo-Delta. Romeo. Lima. Tango. Whiskey. Out! (Taking cover…)
May I say “Fantastic writing. Your descriptive tribute to the armed forces moved me. You NEED to write a book! As always, I remain, your biggest fan.” And I know many others feel this way. But I am claiming the title!
Someone else–trying to make a “Brother” blush…
“Hearts On Fire”, by Hammerfall
“We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out
‘Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Even though the cold winds blow we’re burning like a flame ‘
Hearts On Fire
For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy
And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near
We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The color’s crimson and the hammer is the sign
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel
Hearts On Fire!”
P.S. 1+1=3
These pieces [really] set a standard in the industry.

Hello sir, my name is Luke Dempsey – son of Austin Dempsey. Looking at your website is like looking in the mirror, or listening to my father speak while he was with us. He was a poor woodsman from Canada who served in the Canadian Navy, Blackwatch, Special Ops Advisory, US Infantry and Airborne, and ended his career as an officer. He would be “proud” to see what you have written. I myself served in the US Navy. Thank you for your service and may Truth guide your hand. I leave you with these lyrics:
“Legion Immortal” by Jag Panzer
When the world is at its end and evil has its way, who are the ones who will protect and keep what’s gone astray? Steadfast and vigilant, holding true to all things past. Ever pressing onward are the ones who will outlast.
They will ever stand alone through the test of time, when all else has faltered and broken the bloodlines. They are the ones who will be left but never left behind. Turn you gaze to the west and never look away, say your prayers to the keepers of the watch every day.
Vigilant and true; will stand for you. Stay ever brave; this world you’ll save.
Amen, and may our Lord continue to Bless “The Peacekeeper’s”…
I for one “shall not rest, shall not submit, shall not surrender, and I shall never forget”.
In all humility, and sincere gratitude, thank you for your comment’s and sharing another piece of ‘our’ history…
Thank you. Also, in regards to the Legion Immortal lyrics by Jag Panzer… “Jag” means “the Universe” and Panzer is “a soldier wearing armor”. Universal Soldier! Let us pray that we may wear the full armor of God; there is much to learn.

“[Universal Soldier] is like Matrix’s Neo Anderson… [C]an do more in an instant what others can never try.”
Via Facebook from “India-Mike”:
“…curiosity can be a dangerous thing, but any female that has read SOF since the 70′s is attracted to the fear…in men its accepted and glorified..in women its rejected and vilified. YOUR service to your country speaks volumes, but the REAL story is in the details left out due to honor AND a pledge.”
I don’t even know what to say, this made things so much [easier]!
Via Facebook from “Juliet Mike”:
“Coulda fooled me! You write and write well. You ARE a writer!”
Please tell me that youre going to keep this up! Its so very good and so important. I cant wait to read much more from you. I just feel like you know so a lot and know how to make polpee listen to what you might have to say. This weblog is just too cool to become missed. Fantastic things, genuinely. Please, PLEASE keep it up!
Hello Jon, Missed you. Have been busy with a very sick wife and did not find you till today. I’m still watching. Locked and loaded. Dan
It is an absolute delight to hear from you! Thank you so much for seeking me out. After I was blocked access to that blog where we first corresponded, I have been unable to tell those that truely cared about a Warrior’s Legacy, and various event’s happening all over the globe, my perspective about those action’s and how they affect us here in the U.S. directly. I pray you’ll return here as often as you can. Maybe if your Wife is up to it, you can read what I write, to her to lift her spirit’s, and show her that someone beside’s yourself really and sincerely cares about the path the Nation is on, and the issues overseas from a Veterans’ point of view, unvarnished, raw, and to the point.
It is so good to hear (read) from you. And I will pray for your Wife’s speedy recovery. Don’t let your Faith waiver, and don’t discount the sheer power of Prayer…
As alway’s, I stand back to back, or shoulder to shoulder, with you to keep the ‘Darkness at bay’.
God Bless and Protect you.
