Military

Why anyone in Hollywood would ever think this is beyond me. But to vocalize it seems to be an even dumber idea, and on Veteran's day on too. But leave it to Tom Cruise  to say that his Job is "just as difficult as fighting in Afghanistan". Luckily, their's at least one actor who's got his head on straight, Mark Wahlberg...

As we all know Veteran's Day is on Monday, and being a Veteran my self it is truly heartbreaking to see others who've served struggle with problems like PTSD, alcoholism, poverty, homelessness, etc. Which is why it was awesome to see this 52-year-old Army veteran named Jim Wolf, who has personally fought a never ending battle with alcoholism and poverty, volunteer to take this step and to do this

There is something about watching people take on a taser that is funny as hell.  This girl gets a shot from a taser in a training exercise and can't help but grab the junk of the guy holding her up.  That is one angry HJ!

After serving in the military for 8 years, I can tell you from experience that there's very few things in life that are more fun than crushing, demolishing, or destroying stuff (with or without explosives) and that includes running them over with a tank.

As someone who used to be an instructor of Marines, I can tell you that there are literally thousands of reasons why guys join the military. However, in all my years as an instructor, never once was I given a reason quite like this.

Seeing families reunited with their solider is always a sight to be seen, but even more so when it happens in front of thousands and thousands of people.  Check out the video of a family getting the surprise of a lifetime.

Vassar native -- Travis Mills -- interviewed on Fox News.

These reunion videos are always awesome to watch, but the fact that this one takes place right in our own backyard makes it extra special.  Watch Army Staff Sergeant Luis Bratic surprise his son this morning at Grand Blanc Elementary.

The story of Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills would be enough to make most people throw the towel in and be bitter for the rest of their lives.  Travis Mills isn't most people though.  Check out the video this Vassar native made for all the people supporting him and his family.

I can't imagine what goes through the mind of someone when they see a loved one home from over seas.  We have posted a few of these "surprise videos" and to me they never get old.  The relief and joy is apparent in all of them.  This one is no exception.  A man returns home to find his son in law back from Kuwait.  I love how high the surprised guy's voice gets!

Vassar native, family man, and national hero, Army Sgt. Travis Mills is back on American land, and recovering at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, after losing all four of his limbs in a IED explosion in Afghanistan.  Two charities have started construction on a custom built home, to help Mills and his family with the challenges they will face.

These videos get to me every single time. You would have to be completely heartless to not tear up when you watch these military fathers surprising their loved ones. This high school senior just got done giving a ten minute speech in front of a packed auditorium when her father makes a surprise visit. We love our troops and if you feel the same and would like to show your support, check out townsq
