1…………> Remember A Hero: Airman John Chapman

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AFNS) — The White House announced July 27, 2018, that Air Force Tech. Sgt. John Chapman will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor Aug. 22, for his extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Takur Ghar, Afghanistan, in March 2002.

According to the Medal of Honor nomination, Chapman distinguished himself on the battlefield through “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity,” sacrificing his life to preserve those of his teammates. 





Following Combat Control School, Chapman served with the 1721st Combat Control Squadron at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, where he met his wife, Valerie, in 1992. They had two daughters, who were the center of Chapman’s world even when he was away from home – which was common in the combat control career field. 

“He would come home from a long trip and immediately have on his father hat – feeding, bathing, reading and getting his girls ready for bed,” said Chief Master Sgt. Michael West, who served with Chapman through Combat Control School, a three-year tour in Okinawa, Japan, and at Pope AFB. “They were his life, and he was proud of them…to the Air Force he was a great hero…what I saw was a great father.”

 

During the initial insertion onto Afghanistan’s Takur Ghar mountaintop on March 4, the MH-47 “Chinook” helicopter carrying Chapman and the joint special operations reconnaissance team was ambushed. He survived a violent engagement with multiple enemy fighters, for over an hour through the arrival of the quick reaction force, before paying the ultimate sacrifice. In the performance of these remarkably heroic actions, Chapman was applauded for saving the lives of his teammates.

3…………> Shut Down The Government: Trump

President Trump accused migrant parents who cross the U.S.-Mexico border with their sons and daughters of using these children to further “their sinister purposes,” defending his administration’s policy of separating children from their parents at the border. He said there should be consequences whenever someone enters the United States and claimed that our country has the “dumbest” and “worst” immigration laws in the world, encouraging the American people to vote for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms so that Congress can amend these laws.

In addition, Mr.Trump threatened to shut-down the US government if Congress does not allocate $25 billion dollars for the construction of the border wall between US and Mexico.

4…………> Enemy Of The People: Trump

The publisher of the “failing” New York Times has urged President Donald Trump not to continue labeling reporters “enemies of the people,” saying it could “lead to violence” against the media.

Mr. Sulzberger said he had accepted the meeting with Mr. Trump to raise concerns about the president’s “deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric.”

Had a terrific and exciting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times. Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into a phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!

When the media-driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome – reveals internal deliberations of our government, it indeed puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk! Very unpatriotic! Freedom of the press also comes with a responsibility to report the news.

Over the years, I would return to criticism that it wasn’t good enough – that I should have gotten Saint Petersburg also! Much of our news media is indeed the enemy of the people and all the Dems.
