Give Honor to Bert Brady Who Gives Honor to Our Troops

This guy is a pretty cool guy. He lives near the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport and nearly every morning he gets up and goes to the airport to greet the soldiers who are coming home. He is the founder of the Welcome Home Project which is an organization dedicated to making sure that every soldier arriving home at the airport has his very own welcome wagon. ABC News made this guy their person of the week a while back and I think he's a pretty cool guy A very touching story which proves you don't have to be political to be patriotic. No one has to support the war and no one is restricted from supporting the war if they simply support the soldiers who are fighting the war. Guys like Bert Brady and like the members of the Patriot Guard are a part of what makes our country great.

C-130 Angel Decoy

Ahhhh. It reminds me of my military days. I used to work on Aviation Electronic equipment in the Navy. I did mostly miniature circuit board electronics so who knows if I ever fixed a component that would have been a part of this decoy system. I suppose I can dream can't I? LOL Anyway check out this video it's sort of cool and it gives you an idea of what a big plane like this has to do when it is fired upon by a heat seaking missile. The flares create so much heat that the missile follows the heat from that instead of the plane itself. The pattern it makes when it's all over is like an angel. Merry Christmas from the United States Department of Defense.
