It been 9 years since 9/11, and our hearts still feel the power of the day … the loss of life, the bravery of the first responders. Our NYPD and NYFD heroes … we hold them up as models for performance under fire. In the 9 years since, we’ve added more heroes in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, here at home in South Carolina, every day our first responders put their lives on the line for us whether...

Do you hate compromise? Many people do.  An intense disdain for compromise is growing rapidly in our country today. Thank goodness, members of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 felt differently.  So do I. How can you survive this world without compromise?  In marriage, work, church, sports teams, and even among political parties, compromise is a necessity.  However, the loud, “my way or the...

At the airfield, the coffins of the fallen are moved across the tarmac to the...

Unfortunately, we as a country have opted to save money by contracting out many of our military responsibilities. But there are no savings.  According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of hiring private guards versus using... 

The attack on Pearl Harbor ignited the soul of the United States.  That spark inspired hundreds of thousands to join the military, and millions to labor back home in support. All Americans sacrificed.  Because of our American spirit, the flame that became the US war machine succeeded in guaranteeing our freedom during those dark days. December 7, 1941, Roosevelt’s “a day that will live in infamy”… According... 

After I’d written my Veterans’ Day comments, the horrible shooting at Ft Hood occurred. While we don’t have all the answers yet, we do know that the surviving victims and the families and friends of those who were slain are suffering.
