Know or love a soldier at Fort Bragg or Fort Stewart, or just want to let our servicemembers know you're thinking of them on Valentine's Day? You can write a message of greeting or thanks here, and we'll share it on our Patches serving those bases.
Just choose the "social notes" or "thanks" category, write a message, add a picture or a video if you've got one, and we can keep the lines of communication open between our military and our hometowns.
Thank a Soldier With a Patch Valentine

David, it's still there we are just in the process of working out the bug on uploading photos to…Read More articles that we authored (ugh!). I just didn't want to promote it and have people try and upload photos unsuccessfully. Depending on how long it takes to address this issue, I may keep June open through part of July - I hope not. If you have any photos you want to add, email them to me and I will upload them for you in the meantime.

That is the strawberry fields. I have a picture of the strawberry fields between the welcome to…Read More Loganville and welcome to Grayson signs that I will get up soon.

Yea, sorry David. We are still dealing with some "issues." It rejected Jason's blog, and…Read More none of us, not even our top regional editor, is being given authority to release it. Poor Jason, I know he so hates being rejected! And we hate it happening to him. The people not being "bugged" by technical issues, however, are reporting that it is super easy to use.

I wonder. Will Patch restore the reply button and add a responded to your comment notification?
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 09:21 am
Please keep these comments coming. We are forwarding all these issues to our production team. The…Read More ones that are most pressing are more likely to be addressed first. Once we have the initial roll out completed and working well, the tweaking will begin.

What's sad is that people will accuse you of needing a tinfoil hat because of this post.
But we…Read More are marching inexorably toward this end, the only thing we can really control is how quickly or slowly we get there.....

I don't think that Ray needs a tinfoil hat but I just don't see the inexorable march to the…Read More dystopian world Ray is foretelling either.
I do understand the gloom and doom outlook and I attribute that to the unrealistic quest for the Norman Rockwell version of life in America. That kind of life was made for tv.
Life never really was like that. At least not that I remember anyway. And I would wager not for the majority of Americans.
Good Grief Y'all June 19, 2013 at 09:55 am
Ray was wearing his tinfoil hat when he wrote this. Yikes!
America being dominated by fear and…Read More repression is exactly what the progressives have been fighting against all along, especially so since 2007.
Cynicism is creepy.

Good news! Her name is Izzi and she has been reunited with her owners.

I agree with Raven Nichols.
I think that it is more important to find out the reasons WHY kids are…Read More contemplating and committing suicide.
GGY is right. It is a dark subject and off putting but the fact that kids are taking their own lives at such a young and tender age is an even darker subject that can't wait to be addressed until they are in college they may not make it that far.
I disagree with Tammy in that I don't think girls have don't have a more drama in High School than boys. It's just drama over different things. And I don't think that the teacher was looking for objectivity but insight into the reasons for teen suicides. After all who would have a better understanding of the why suicides occur in teens than other teens.
I applaud the teacher.
Good Grief Y'all June 19, 2013 at 09:49 am
I see your point Skalawag and I raise it. Maybe this would be a good CDC survey subject. Imagine…Read More the backlash, though! I still think it's a dangerous topic as a class assignment. We probably already know the reasons for teen suicide. We do need better methods and awareness to identify those at risk.

My kids drink coffee every morning because they need something to accompany their cigarettes.

Tr - the perfect diet - the Mediterranean diet has a lot of fish in it. Olive oils etc... Our…Read More American diet has a lot of animal fat in it and look at us as opposed to other nations! Fish oil is brain food. A multi is good, but we should ask our pediatricians about adding fish oil to our kids' diets. We should get our (good) fats through diet. Good fats help vitamins go where they are supposed to and do what they're supposed to do.

My grandma always drunk coffee all day and I started around 30 and I am no good without at least one…Read More cup a day but she always stated that we couldn't have any as kids because it will stunt our growth. I have always felt that there is something to many of those old sayings and did not let my son touch it.

DR, seems like an oxymoron doesn't it? I'd like to hear from someone who is actually from there to…Read More find out their spin on why they even enter a contestant in the first place. It's my understanding that a woman that shows that much skin in public will be flogged or worse? Maybe democracy is taking ahold in some places, who knows?
Good Grief Y'all June 17, 2013 at 03:24 pm
I was wrong. Guys are interested pageants. You would no doubt be happy if the contestants just…Read More wore the face shawl with their bikinis.
Karsten Torch June 17, 2013 at 04:30 pm
Couple of thoughts -
One, why hold it in a land where there is going to be this kind of protest?…Read More Just move it and don't worry about it.
Other, I find it interesting how the Muslims want us to be understanding and inclusive of their beliefs, but don't even think they'll allow anything they don't agree with. Just a tad bit hypocritical...
Mr. B June 13, 2013 at 01:29 pm
They're not Americans. They don't deserve to step foot on American soil.
Good Grief Y'all June 13, 2013 at 01:37 pm
Huh, you learn something once in a while on Patch blog threads. I didn't know you must be an…Read More American citizen to be tried and convicted of crimes against America . . . ;p
I think John and Sarah could handle them . . . you betcha! They would probably beg to be sent back to Gitmo. LOL
