I wanted to let everyone know that our son Dennis deployed to the Middle East on Thursday. I get many e-mails from all of you wondering how the kids are doing. He will be gone from 7-8 months. Prayers from all would be appreciated. Hope you are all doing great and making preparations for what is ahead of us. Stay calm, prepare and pray on!
All should note that a woman was leaving a shopping mall in an Albany suburb this week with her ten year old daughter after her little girl’s gymnastics class. It was 9:00pm. They were abducted by a man who had cut his monitoring device off his ankle. He bound them both, stabbed the mother to death and raped the ten year old girl who was able to get away and run down a street where she was picked up by a passerby. Women get your pistol permit so you can protect you and your children. This mother would be alive today or at least would have had a fighting chance if she had been carrying a firearm.

A tribute to Jace and his family… His journey from being injured on the battlefield, to his long battle to save his right leg and fight his way back to standing on his own two feet at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, to his relationship with “Sensei” Bob “the vet” Kunkel who helped rebuild his psyche, overcome his “disability” and recreate a great American Warrior who is today June 4, 2011 on patrol in the Middle East fighting once again on the battlefield to protect our freedoms. May God watch over you Jace and may he safely guide you home to your family after your deployment. What a privelege to know such great American Patriots….

Corporal Jason L. Dunham, USMC
Birth: Nov. 10, 1981
Wellsville (Allegany County)
Allegany County
New York, USA
Death: Apr. 22, 2004
Bethesda
Montgomery County
Maryland, USA
Iraq War Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. He served in the United States Marine Corps as a Corporal in K Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. President Bush announced on November 10, 2006, the 231st anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps, that Dunham would be awarded the Medal of Honor. He is the first Marine since the Vietnam War and the second United States serviceman to receive the Medal of Honor. His citation reads: “On a dusty road in western Iraq, Corporal Dunham gave his own life so that the men under his command might live,” and was presented posthumously to his family by President George W. Bush on January 11, 2007. On April 14, 2004, Corporal Dunham was manning a checkpoint in Karabilah, Iraq, when an insurgent leapt from his car and began choking him. A scuffle ensued as two Marines approached to help. Reportedly, the last words from Corporal Dunham were, “No, No. Watch his hand.” Suddenly, the insurgent dropped a grenade. Corporal Dunham took off his Kevlar helmet, dropped to the ground, and covered the explosive as best he could. The blast seriously wounded all 3 Marines. Eight days later, Corporal Jason L. Dunham, age 22, died at Bethesda Naval Hospital from the wounds he received.
