YOU are needed! This summer (starting this weekend) Operation Save America led by the notorious Flip Benham will be swarming Charlotte, NC.

Drawing Our Own Conclusions
By Debra Sweet
I saw the film Restrepo over the weekend, having read of the film makers' intention to "capture the experience of combat, boredom and fear through the eyes of the soldiers" without making a "political statement." "This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you."
