This web page is dedicated to our brave Troops in Baghdad.

Our mission is to provide encouragement, support, information and prayers to our Troops.

In a recent address to our Country President Bush said,

"...Our nation is blessed to have young Americans like these"...

We agree.

Tragedy - Wednesday, April 18, 2007 - Sunday, April 22, 2007
One soldier was killed and another ctitically injured from our troop in Baghdad earlier this week. Please pray for the fallen soldier's Mom that God would console her and pray for the brave sergeant who was injured and finally pray for our troopers that were shaken by the loss of their friend.

Ipod saves soldiers life

Ipod saves soldiers life.jpg

The back of the Ipod.

I've moved updating to my blog at havanalion.com
Photos sent to me by my friend Danny with this caption:
My wife’s uncle works in a military hospital and told me about this. Its pretty amazing. Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor. Fortunately, Kevin suffered no wound.
I thought it was a great story so I posted them here.

UPDATE 04.05.07:
I just got an email via flickr from an engineer at Apple. He showed the photos around the office and want to help get the guy a new iPod. So it's looking good that it will be replaced.

The Beck-Massa Convergence Open Thread
Here&#8217;s an open thread as we rub our hands in glee waiting for the Glenn Beck show to begin. The big questions: will Eric Massa even show up? Will he throw a fit and stalk off the set? Will Glenn Beck go nuclear on Massa about the groping investigation?

Boston Review on 'What Darwin Got Wrong'
At the Boston Review, Ned Block and Philip Kitcher have an excellent piece on a new book titled &#8220;What Darwin Got Wrong,&#8221; that tries to cast doubt on Charles Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution by approaching the subject from a philosophical standpoint: Misunderstanding Darwin.

Video: Beck-Malkin Slap Fight!
Michelle Malkin and Glenn Beck have a right wing slap fight over Beck&#8217;s decision to have wacko Democrat apostate Eric Massa on his show, and it gets pretty nasty.

Catholic School Rejects Child Because Parents Are Gay
A Catholic preschool in Boulder Colorado has refused to admit a child with gay parents. What can you even say about an appalling story like this?

Shocka! Glenn Beck Says Geert Wilders is 'Far Right', and the Far Right is 'Fascist'
The wingnut blogosphere is in full shrieking harpy mode over Glenn Beck&#8217;s statement about anti-Muslim Dutch MP Geert Wilders (who wants to ban the Koran and make Islam itself illegal).

Sarah Palin's Family Went to Canada for Health Care
Blatant hypocrisy &#8212; it&#8217;s spelled P-A-L-I-N: Sarah Palin sees eye-to-eye with Albertans in Calgary speech.

Top Homeschooling Texts Reject Science
Does this qualify as a mild form of child abuse: teaching children to distrust science and believe lies? I think it does. I don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s appropriate to try to stop these parents (through legislation) from destroying their children&#8217;s ability to think critically, but it&#8217;s not hard to make a case ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FEQyOWWCf0yLZz_0h-pE-h7vMyY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FEQyOWWCf0yLZz_0h-pE-h7vMyY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FEQyOWWCf0yLZz_0h-pE-h7vMyY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FEQyOWWCf0yLZz_0h-pE-h7vMyY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

Alex Jones on Fox News At Last
Fox News and the right wing kookosphere have been gradually bringing insane 9/11 Truther Alex Jones into the mainstream for the past year. Judge Andrew Napolitano has been one of the most persistent; he introduced Jones on his Fox News webcast as &#8220;the one, the only, the great Alex Jones.&#8221; ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ImPU0nYVe7n1KAdl0eFqUlED-6E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ImPU0nYVe7n1KAdl0eFqUlED-6E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ImPU0nYVe7n1KAdl0eFqUlED-6E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ImPU0nYVe7n1KAdl0eFqUlED-6E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

White Supremacist Robert Stacy McCain Attacks Me Again (#200+)
White supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain (recently seen at LGF when he wrote an article whining about how awful it is to call political opponents &#8220;crazy&#8221;) calls me crazy (for probably the 200th time): Why Do Charles Johnson&#x2019;s Beliefs Keep Turning Out to Be Delusional?

What Right Wing Racism?
This comes as no surprise to anyone who&#8217;s been reading the comments at right wing sites like Free Republic or Hot Air (where Michelle Obama is often compared to a gorilla, as we&#8217;ve documented at LGF), but now the craziness is breaking out into the open, as a prominent right ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-44f6scdVwNOdS4h0NNPIJ4nB6U/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-44f6scdVwNOdS4h0NNPIJ4nB6U/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-44f6scdVwNOdS4h0NNPIJ4nB6U/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-44f6scdVwNOdS4h0NNPIJ4nB6U/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

Another Catholic Priest Abuse Scandal
Here we go again, with yet another horrifying child sex abuse scandal involving the Catholic Church &#8212; this time in Germany: German Catholic schools at center of abuse scandal. The first accusers came forward a month ago in Berlin. Since then, the list of schools and victims who say they ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YdPLGdnTcR18biCnzKF4UY3YRoo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YdPLGdnTcR18biCnzKF4UY3YRoo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YdPLGdnTcR18biCnzKF4UY3YRoo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YdPLGdnTcR18biCnzKF4UY3YRoo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

Anti-AGW 'Expert' in UK Parliament Inquiry: Another Energy Industry Shill
In the latest example in a long line of dishonest attempts to smear the science of climate change, one of the main critical witnesses in the UK Parliament&#8217;s hearings on the CRU email leaks is a shill for the oil and gas industries. And of course, he didn&#8217;t disclose this fact ... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mjlivNysRk6q7xk65OfiGu8sYlM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mjlivNysRk6q7xk65OfiGu8sYlM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mjlivNysRk6q7xk65OfiGu8sYlM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mjlivNysRk6q7xk65OfiGu8sYlM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>
 Our Soldier in Iraq   

What does he do?

Our soldier is a Calvary Scout and all of his platoon members are Calvary Scouts. The Cavalry Scout is the commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield. When information about the enemy is needed, they call on the Scouts. They are trained in reconnaissance, weapons, explosives and mines. When the U.S. Army engages an enemy the Special Forces go in first, the Scouts second and the Infantry last. Their job is dangerous and the Scout's need your prayers. They have trained for the last 18 months at Fort Knox Kentucky, Fort Riley Kansas and the National Training Center at Fort Irwin  in California's Mojave Desert. Their mission in Iraq is to secure various neighborhoods in the capitol city of Baghdad.

Where is he at?

At the moment they are in Baghdad, Iraq.

What does he need?

Prayers, letters, postcards, e-mails and packages. Some of the things you can include in packages are: Mach3 razor blades, shaving gel, gum (sugarless), Carmex (tube), visine, beef jerkey (store bought w/USDA Symbol)), movie dvd's, candy (no chocolate), magazines, bodywash,  lots of snacks etc...For a comprehensive list and contact information see Deb or Jule. I'm sure once our soldier contacts home this list will be updated.
