WWII Hero Dog Honored 75 Years After Saving Lives of U.S. Soldiers
by Shifra on January 17, 2018RIP, Chips. And thank you for your service. Via NY Post. ….Westchester County pooch Chips, a German shepherd-husky cross, was awarded the Dickin Medal for his courageous actions during the appropriately titled Operation Husky…. Chips was just a regular family pet living with the Wren family in Pleasantville when the Army asked civilians to donate their dogs to the war effort. Some 40,000 patriotic pooches were signed up, but only 10,000 made the cut — including Chips. Upon landing at the beach in Sicily in 1943, Chips’ platoon immediately came under fire — and the courageous canine broke free of his leash and ran into an enemy machine-gun nest. “There was an awful lot of noise and the firing stopped....

by Tammy on September 30, 2017So sad. Many of us grew up with the fun of that show, especially with how the audience members dressed up in costumes in order to get chosen for the game.

by Shifra on September 29, 2017Usain Bolt is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist from Jamaica. And, in this video, he shows respect for our anthem; take notes, NFL! Via CNS News. While some NFL players are kneeling at games in protest, apparently against alleged police brutality, it is refreshing to note that some non-Americans have great respect for the Star Spangled Banner, such as Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, who even stopped an interview with a reporter and turned to listen and honor the national anthem. During the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist in sprinting, was interviewed by Spain’s Television Espanola. As they were talking, the national anthem began and Bolt stopped the interview, turned around, and listened as the anthem...

by Shifra on September 29, 2017Mosab Hassan Yousef is a son of a founder of the Islamist terror movement Hamas, and a convert to Christianity. Bravo to him for speaking the truth.

by Shifra on July 6, 2017If the Obamas are worried if they will have a lasting legacy, they need not be concerned: We will always remember Michelle Obama’s meddling in the school lunch program, which resulted in students skipping their hated lunches, and tons (literally) of food being thrown in garbage cans. Via CNS News.
