I regret to inform LM31 readers that Col. Bob Howard, Special Forces legendary combat leader and Medal of Honor Recipient, passed away yesterday of cancer in Waco Texas.
Colonel Howard enlisted at 17 and retired after 36 years in the U.S. Army.
He served 56 months conducting combat missions in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos; and was nominated for the Medal of Honor three separate times in a 13-month period.
In addition to the nation's highest award for valor, Col. Howard was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star and the Bronze Star with "V" device.
He was wounded 14 times and received eight Purple Hearts.
His death at 70, leaves 91 surviving Medal of Honor Recipients.

Rider on a pale horse
Well America, it appears that we are on our way to medical care provided by the Postal Service and the DMV.
We are one small step from the destruction of our medical care and the scuttling of our economy and here’s just a preview of what may happen to you and yours.
Birmingham, England:
A grandmother died after 'gross failures' by NHS doctors who injected her lungs with a chemical that was ten times the recommended strength, a coroner ruled today.
Rosemary McFarlane, 64, spent ten days in 'burning agony' after receiving the lethal dose during what should have been a routine procedure.
The caustic chemical, phosphate buffered saline, burned the inside of her lungs. Read more here.
“But GA, terrible mistakes happen all the time, even in our present system.”
Gosh, I wasn’t aware of that but, and it’s too bad; the difference here is that England has been operating a socialized medical care system forever, and still can get it right.
And we’re going to turn our system over to to people who brought you “The Bridge to Nowhere”, “Cash for Clunkers”, the bail-outs, Obama Motors, the IRS, Fannie May and Freddie Mac?
And, like Obama, the government has absolutely no idea how in hell to run anything, let alone medicine.
You will suffer and you will die… or as Chairman Barack Hussein Obama has patronized: “sometimes, it better just to take the pain pill.”
I’m sure they gave poor Rosemary McFarlane pain pills, but by then she would have preferred arsenic.
A year or two ago I received some meds from the VA which I routinely do, but they—a blood pressure medicine—had not been prescribed.
On my next appointment, I took them back to the VA
and the response was “huh, don't know how that happened.”
I could only think of what if an 88-year-old disabled vet had received them… and trusting his government, his socialized medicine, he took them as directed.
Your ever tried to sue the federal government?
A blatant crime has been carried out as we watched Harry Reid bulldoze a secret bill through in the dead of night over the Christmas holiday.
It is the out and out bribery of a public official to support Obama care… in fact, it should be more than a crime; bribery would be Reid using his own
money to buy votes…. but he used your money to buy votes from Landrieu and Nelson and who know how many others?
But GA, he was using leverage to get money for his state.
And that’s the whole damned problem…. legislation by the pimp and whore system.
When did Landrieu and Nelson come to believe that placing their state over the nation’s best interests was anything less that failure of their oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”?
There is such a thing as being a “national senator”… of course that was when there were still a few statesmen in the Senate.
May Reid and his ilk rot in hell and very soon.

The flat-earthers in Cope-N-haaggunn number as many as 20,000... and five rag-head terrorists. It occurred to me mind that if someone set off a truck load of C4 in the midst of thousands of environmental whack-jobs and a handful of poseur politicians, I wouldn't shed a tear.
