"Only the dead have seen the end of war. That philosopher couldn't be more right. War ain't going away. Nor are the leaders who don't understand it…who abuse it. This brotherhood is bonded over blood. Not paperwork or policy."

On the morning of July 13, 2008, then, Sgt. Pitts was providing perimeter security at an observation post, when a well-organized enemy force of over 200 fighters initiated a sustained assault using accurate and intense rocket-propelled grenade, machine gun and small arms fire on Vehicle Patrol Basein, in the vicinity of Wanat Village, Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
A wave of rocket-propelled grenade rounds engulfed the Observation Post wounding Sergeant Pitts and inflicting heavy casualties. Pitts was knocked to the ground and was bleeding heavily from wounds to his arm and legs. With incredible toughness and resolve, he subsequently took control of the Observation Post and returned fire on the enemy. As the enemy drew closer, Pitts began throwing grenades, holding them after the pin was pulled and the safety lever was released to allow a nearly immediate detonation on the hostile forces.
Near death and unable to stand on his own because of the severity of his wounds and blood loss, Pitts continued to lay suppressive fire until a two-man reinforcement team arrived. He gave them his main weapon and began gathering ammunition all while continually lobbing grenades until they were expended. Pitts then crawled to a radio and described the situation to the Command Post as the enemy continued to try and isolate them from the main patrol base. With the enemy close enough to hear their voices and with total disregard for his own life, he whispered in the radio situation reports and conveyed information that the Command Post used to provide indirect fire support.
Sgt. Pitts’ extreme courage and ability to fight while seriously wounded prevented the enemy force from overrunning the observation post, capturing fallen American soldiers, and ultimately prevented the enemy from gaining fortified positions on higher ground from which to attack the main patrol base.
Freedom is never free! Wear red today to support and remember our troops currently deployed overseas!

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
Ass grabbing is a must.
An absolute must!

Peace and security in society often depend on the willingness of a small percentage of individuals who are willing to engage in violence in order to protect the general populous.
The men of Special Operations stand ready to do harm onto those who wish to do harm onto us.
Happy 250th Birthday America! 🇺🇸
Commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America.
By doing this, the delegates to the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states.
The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, on July 4.

"Give Them the Cold Steel Boys, July 3, 1863"
Confederate General Lewis B. Armistead, with his cap on the tip of his sword, leads his men across the stone wall during Pickett’s Charge on the 3rd and final day of the battle of Gettysburg.
Approximately 12,500 Confederate troops, in nine infantry brigades, advanced over open fields for three-quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Although some Confederate troops were able to breach the low stone wall that shielded many of the Union defenders, they could not maintain their hold and were repelled.
While the Union suffered about 1,500 killed and wounded, during the attack, the Confederate casualty rate was over 50%. Total Confederate losses during Pickett's Charge were 6,555, of which at least 1,123 Confederates were killed on the battlefield, 4,019 were wounded, and a good number of the injured were also captured. Confederate prisoner totals are difficult to estimate from their reports; Union reports indicated that 3,750 men were captured.

"Saving the Flag, July 2, 1863"
While Colonel Jeffords was back in Michigan on a recruiting trip, the ladies of Monroe, Michigan, presented him with a new national flag to replace the regiment's original flag, which had been badly damaged in recent battles. Jeffords stated that he would defend the flag with his life.
During the second day at Gettysburg, the color-bearer of the 4th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment dropped this flag, and as Colonel Jeffords advanced to retrieve it, he fought with the Confederate soldier who had seized the flag. In the ensuing melee, Jeffords received a gunshot wound to the thigh and was bayoneted by a Confederate soldier in the left abdomen, a mortal wound for the 26-year-old officer. He died at 4 am the next day, on July 3, 1863.
His final words were said to be "Mother, mother, mother." Jeffords became the highest commissioned officer in the Civil War to die of a bayonet wound. His body was sent home to Dexter, Michigan, after the battle, where approximately 2,000 people attended the funeral of its beloved hero. He is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Dexter.

On July 2, 1863, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain lead his men of the 20th Maine on a bayonet charge down the slopes of little round top, during the battle of Gettysburg. He would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that day.
This clip, from the movie Gettysburg, depicts the epic moment in history. It's one of the best, if not the best scene in the movie.
“Lions of Little Round Top, July 2nd 1863″
Late in the afternoon of July 2, 1863, on a boulder-strewn hillside in southern Pennsylvania, Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain dashed headlong into history, leading his 20th Maine Regiment in perhaps the most famous counterattack of the Civil War.
The regiment’s sudden, desperate bayonet charge blunted the Confederate assault on Little Round Top and has been credited with saving Major General George Gordon Meade’s Army of the Potomac, winning the Battle of Gettysburg and setting the South on a long, irreversible path to defeat.

On June 28, 2005, Lt. Mike Murphy lead a four-man Navy SEAL team, deep behind enemy lines in the Hindu Kush of Afghanistan. The terrain was mountainous and rugged at an unforgiving altitude of 10,000 feet. Their mission was to conduct reconnaissance to find Ahmad Shah, the leader of a guerrilla group that aligned itself with the Taliban.
A fierce firefight erupted between the four SEALs and an enemy force of more than 50 anti-coalition militia. The enemy had the 4-man team outnumbered and the terrain advantage. They launched a well-organized, three-sided attack on the SEALs and relentlessly forced them deeper into a ravine.
Despite the intensity of the incoming fire and suffering several gunshot wounds, Lt. Murphy risked his own life to save the lives of his teammates. Determined to contact headquarters, but realizing it would be impossible in the extreme terrain where they were fighting, he unhesitatingly moved into the open to gain a better position for transmitting a call and get help for his men.
Lt. Murphy moved from cover and exposed himself to increased enemy gunfire. While continuing to be fired upon, he made contact with the SOF Quick Reaction Force and requested immediate assistance. At one point he was shot in the back causing him to drop the satellite phone. He picked it back up, completed the call and signed off saying, "Thank You." He continued to fight from his exposed position until succumbing to his wounds. For his actions on that day, Lt. Mike Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
On June 28, 2005, Lt. Michael P. Murphy valiantly gave his life in order to save the lives of his fellow Navy SEALs during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan. For his actions that day, Lt. Murphy would posthumously receive our nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor.
None shall ever forget your courage and selfless act of heroism. Fair winds and following seas, sir.
