Altar girls, Communion in the hand, Eucharistic Ministers and "Protestant" music in the Church doesn't bother me at all. A proud American retired submarine sailor. Our borders should be secured with a 10 ft. high fence topped by concertina wire with minefields out to 20 yards on both sides and an additional 10 yards filled with warning signs outside of that Let's get energy independent NOW! Back Israel to the max, stop appeasing followers of the Pedophile Prophet. Pro 2nd Amendment, pro death penalty, Repeal all hate crime legislation. Back the police unless you'd rather call a hippie when everything hits the fan. Get government out of dealing with education, childhood obesity and the enviornment. Stop using the military for sociological experiments and if we're in a war don't micromanage their every move. Kill your television, limit time on the computer and pick up a book. God's will be done and may He have mercy upon us all.

(Taken from www.whittierdailynews.com) LA MIRADA - A La Mirada man was one of four Army soldiers killed Thursday in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan after enemy forces attacked their vehicle with an improvised explosive device.

All were assigned to the 569th Mobility Augmentation Company, 4th Engineer Battalion, Fort Carson, Colo.

Spc. Jesus O. Flores, Jr., 28, of La Mirada was among the dead.

Flores Jr., who joined the Army in December 2003, was a decorated soldier.

He received the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Iraq Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

There are no services planned at the base, officials said.

"There is no statement from command about the deaths at this time," said Garrison Public Information Officer Lori Walters.

"Specialist Jesus Flores will be forever remembered for his courage and strength while protecting our country's freedom," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a statement Tuesday. "Jesus' bravery is an example of the commitment and passion of our troops and we are forever indebted to his service."

Schwarzenegger sent his prayers and condolences to the Flores family, their friends and fellow soldiers.
