Billie Jean Grinder, age 25, a loving and devoted wife, stepmother, daughter and sister, died Sunday, February 21, 2010 in Iraq as a result of a helicopter crash. She was a 2002 graduate of Smyrna High School and joined the Tennessee Army National Guard in July 2002. CW2 Grinder became a pilot in 2007 after completing Warrant Officer School at Ft. Rucker, AL and quickly excelled in her skills. She was currently a Pilot-In-Command (PIC) for OH-58D Kiowa Warrior and assigned to C Trp, 1-230th ACS. Services will be conducted Wednesday at 1P.M. with COL(P) William P. Wenzler officiating. Full military honors will be provided by the TNARNG Honor Guard. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Marcus Ray Alford, Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund, Regions Bank (Village Green Branch) in Gallatin, TN. Capt. Alford perished with WC2 Grinder in the accident.

No, first info is rarley right. Engine failure on a flight.

CW2 Billie Jean Grinder will be laid to rest Wednesday 1:00P.M., March 03, 2010.

ACORN is very much akin to MRSA. You can poison it, and it will creep back in, irradiate it, and it will come back and multiply. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, it is an insidious infection bent on devouring Freedom!

Plenty of .380s up at Abernathy's in Union City, plus pretty much anything else you might want ammo wise.

We asked him (Ramsey) the same question last September at the West TN Regional Chapter TFA meeting, and he answered exactly the same way then. If someone knows how to get a Sony Handycam DVD video converted to a file that can be posted, I can collect that check.

No sir, his take was that every weapon sold through an FFL is registered. Simple lack of knowledge of what the laws are. He thinks registartion is a good thing, necessary to track "gun crime". (His words)

Good letter, can't believe that anything Vanderbilt would publish it though.

In speaking with my nephew, he said his wife had actually entered the pilot training program and had graduated. She was serving in that capacity. She and another pilot were killed in a chopper accident. Appears that there was no hostile forces present, and mechanical failure seems the most likely cause. "Hard landing" was the official designation, Sam says that means crash.

My sister just called, my nephew's wife, who was stationed in Northern Iraq was killed today. She and my nephew were stationed at the same location, both members of the Tennessee National Guard. Sam is a chopper pilot, and was recalled to the States early for re-deployment to Haiti, but Billy Jean had to finish out her tour, she was in air support service. Details are sketchy of course, but it appears there was a road side bomb involved.

I did an interview with Haslam when he first came to Jackson back in the Fall, I questioned him on the timing of his pull out from the Bloomberg group, it was obvious it was simple Political expediency. I had several communications relative the the Guns In Parks issue in Knoxville, challenging him to push for a recuseal of their pre '86 ordinance which he did not do. His e-mails were full of "support for the 2nd Amendment" but he never took a stance within the City that showed any substantive support.

High point count blade on a mitre saw does a good job as well. Jig the holster so you get a square, plumb cut, it would do fine.

My e-mail: He has lost me as a viewer.

Agreed! A far more eloquent and brave man than I spoke these words: "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams He entreated men to the efforts of Liberty in his day; when the price for such action was far greater than that which each of us faces now. We should honor the deeds and words of his and our other Founders by standing up to be counted in preserving the gifts of freedom their sacrifices paid for.

...a Richard Cranium!

Ramsey still runs a survey company, a small business, along with his real estate business. Knows about having to make a payroll. He is not a lawyer, has always been a supporter of gun rights, sponsored the Handgun Permit Carry Bill in Tennessee as a freshman legislator.

And both versions of cash for clunkers.

Pretty much at odds to the responses to similar questions posed to Mike McWherter at the West TN Regional Chapter TFA meeting last Thursday night. McWherter said that the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act had been declared "Unconstitutional by the BATF, was in favor of gun registration "how else can the Police track them for crime purposes", assured us that the "Judge" he just purchased was registered. He stood in favor of local municipalities to be able to ban carry in Parks, espoused the "heated arguments at Little League games" as the reason. He further stated that he felt that Restaurant Carry was problematic, and that he would have to carefully read any legislation that crossed the Governors desk prior to sighing it.

My condolences. My grand daughter has been my shadow for her 6 years. If I go to the "gun shop" she goes with me, she helps me re-load and clean brass, and keeps the shop swept and clean. Don't know how I would survive her moving off like that, about killed me when she and her Mom got their own place. We get her each weekend and I find myself measuring time in kid here, kid free.

Simply the first of many. I have know him since we were in high school and have his measure. The audacity to suggest that McWherter was a farmer is laughable, he made his fortune selling beer. There are so many opportunities to beat that article up that I shall revel in the exchange that is to come.

I am going to have some fun with this.

Seems to me that "retaliatory" is not only a tool of the immature. I would suggest that our dealings with Japan after Pearl Harbor, and the Battle of San Jacinto fall under that heading as well. The word means to "repay in kind". I see the proposal of this Bill as a natural step in the progression of the game that is afoot. All the other side had to do was accept HB 0962 and post if they were vehemently opposed to carry on their premises. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Got mine yesterday. I actually got a personal e-mail from Larry when I fussed about them being out of bullets and primers last summer. I like doing business with them!

Quick, we need an amendment to this proposal, require ALL alcoholic beverages to be included in the audit. Currently under ABC Rules, only those with greater than 5% by weight are accountable. From the AGENDA FOR THE NOVEMBER 19, 2009 ABC COMMISSION MEETING – PAGE 7 Pretty sneaky methinks, seems that the ABC is employed by the Alcohol Lobby??? http://tennessee.gov/abc/November%20Agenda%202009.pdf ABW vs. ABV Since alcohol is lighter than the beer in which it exists, alcohol content that is expressed by weight appears to be lower compared to an alcohol content that is expressed by volume. For example, a beer that is 3.2% by weight is 4.0% by volume and a beer that is 4% by weight is actually 5% by volume. To convert the percentage of alcohol by weight to the percentage of alcohol by volume, multiply by 1.25. Conversely, to convert from volume to weight, multiply by .80. Percentage of beer by volume. http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php
