Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Polar Bears. I saw this a long while back on Soldiers For The Truth, courtesy of Uncle Sams Canoe Club(U.S. Navy). I just thought it was a cool picture and figured I would throw it up here. Posted by Picasa

That is a great picture. A once in a life time. The Navy should use it for recruiting. But, then, their not hurting like some other branches and since that's a once in a lifetime it would be false advertisment. I oughta go pay your blog a visit.

You are always welcome to visit- often times it is the dialogue going back and forth between Travlin'Ed and Jn, my daughter and me that makes things the most interesting. Stop in anytime and join the fun!

Hey Robster, I didn't see a Dog Box on the back of that Canoe.
