Something to think about.

November 27, 2012

Everyone knows about the war in Afghanistan, we see the news coverage constantly and hear about our brave men and women fighting and dying in the Afghan desert, protecting our freedom. What we don’t hear about is the equally deadly war that is being fought on the streets of America by police officers. Spanning 10 years from the start of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001, the number of American police officers who have died in the line of duty exceeds the number of American soldiers who have lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Soldiers fight to protect our country and our freedom but police officers are seldom recognized for the fight they face every day as they keep you safe from the danger that lurks in the shadows.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
