Team USA's hockey team continues to truck on toward the medal round at the Vancouver Olympics. They were not a highly touted squad, but with one more win they will clinch a medal and have a chance at the gold! I think the Canadian team loss to the Americans really got their attention.

It will be very interesting if the USA and Canada meet again for the gold medal....That's one i won't miss....

It was an amazing turn-out for fallen soldier Gregory Stultz of Brazil. He lost his life serving his country in Afghanistan. His body was returned yesterday and Corpoal Stultz was saluted at the airport and throughout his funeral procession back to Brazil. His reception was heartwarming. It makes you proud to be an American. God bless the soldier and his family......
