Two-Way Tie for “Feel Good” Posts of the Week… Merry Christmas and God Bless Our Troops! (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on December 18, 2009
Thanks to Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit, and Just a Grunt at JammieWearingFool, this week ends on a far better note than I had anticipated. After Obama’s lame “rather than put my White House speechwriters to any real work, let me just reuse my February speech” eye-roller in Copenhagen, these two posts perked me up.
Two-way tie because I felt much more Christmas-y and less Grinch-y after reading them both.
Uplifting patriotic post here, St. Louis Patriots & Hooters Girls Welcome Thousands of US Troops To Town Today, with an assortment of “feel good” photos, including this one:
More than 8,000 US troops packed the St. Louis airport this morning to catch flights home for the holidays... St. Louis patriots and Hooters Girls welcome them
Talk about miracles and a strong family spirit… Col. Bresnik is truly blessed to have such a supportive wife and such a beautiful family. And you can tell that he knows it.
From JammieWearingFool, Just Another Military Family:
During the latest space shuttle mission one of the astronauts, Randy Bresnik, left behind a wife who was due to deliver a baby. The baby was indeed born while he was in space….
The good Colonel closes it out by thanking Fox News for supporting our service members.
FOX News: Houston, We Have a Baby
