  1. Let's Bring Em Home!

    Welcome to Let's Bring Em Home 2010!

    Bringing military families together for the holidays since 2001!

    It's almost time! It's almost time! As this year's holiday season fast approaches, this will be be our TENTH year taking donations to purchase plane tickets for junior enlisted military personnel, giving them the opportunity to fly home and spend the holidays with their families. This program was initially started in December 2001 to show our grateful appreciation to American service members deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and has become an annual tradition ever since. We are not Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green or Independent. Our mission is as simple, as it is noble. All we want to do is unite a few military families for the Christmas holiday. That's it. No hidden agendas, no political speeches. We just buy plane tickets for troops. Period.

    As is our tradition, we're kicking this season off on Thursday, November 11th, which is of course Veteran's Day. So pardon us while we dust everything off from last year and get ready for this 2010 campaign!

    Last year we raised over $95,000 and helped 155 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines go home this Christmas. Our sincere thanks to who donated last year! So we'd like to thank you very much for a very successful 2009 LBEH campaign!

  2. remember all the hippies in my neighborhood telling me I needed to take my American flag and fly it upside down. Did enjoy underground comix by R crumb. Enlisted in army in 1972 at 17 right before my 18th birthday,so not much of a hippie here.Did hane long hair though

  3. Gail Kerr in the sunday paper made a statement about the big sigh of releif across the state after the overturning of the "GUNS IN BARS" law.A ststement that she made that caught my attention was "nothing says family friendly vacation like a sign assuring Mom that no shots would be fired while Junior eats his chicken fingers".So I guess that there are no worries about armed robberies,random violence,and the stray gang banger looking for some real street cred. Humans are a violent life form,there is no way that one can prevent others from becoming violent and engaging in violent acts.All one can do is try and be prepared for when violence is directed towards them. The police in this country are not tasked with protecting anyone.The job is more like a reporter arriving after the action is over and taking reports. I guess her decision to be an ostrich with its head in the sand is the position that we should all adhere to. We all know that people intent on committing criminal acts will not be deterred by any law of any type.One should be willing,and able to defend ones self if a situation arises.So applaud the fact that law abiding citizens are now prevented from self protection in the event a violent act were to occur. Most people rely on information from biased sources,such as the Tenneessean and local television reports.The motto of most TV news stations is "IF IT BLEEDS IT LEADS" Please dont even think that they would exagerrate the trivial to make the headline more lurid.Perhaps they should devote as much coverage to a case of the average citizen defending oneself from an armed attack as they do one crazed person wanting to right wahtever imaginary wrongs they feel were done to them. I would really like to see week long coverage of an armed citizen that defened themselves against a multi -convicted violent felon out on parole.

  4. When first available I purchased one new for 365.00 I still have it and it has been a nice carry piece.I have seen them for sale anywhere from 350.00 to 450.00. 15 round mags are scarce and they usually sell for about 79.00.
