A Marine died today, November 28, 2017. That has become so common in the last few years that hardly any mention is made of it in today's world news. But this marine was special. He was born in 1922 and when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 ("A day that will live in infamy") he decided he wanted to fight the Japanese, so he joined the Marines.
This marine was part of the invasion of Saipan Island commanding a flame throwing tank he called "Nobby". Then he drove that same "Nobby" ashore on Iwo Jima where the volcanic sand and a shell hole caused "Nobby" to lose a tread and this tank commander became a rifleman (which every marine is trained for). His name is William H. Sutley, Cpl U.S. Marine Corp. and he lived a long, productive, and meaningful life and touched the lives of me and my family. We love you Bill and all that remains is OORAH!........Medicinman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!

RIGHT IS WRONG/GOOD IS BAD!
David Dunstan was at home with his family when he heard knocking at his back door. Upon looking out the window he saw a man standing there with a large knife in one hand and a club in the other. Dunstan went to his gun cabinet and grabbed his .22 caliber rifle and answered the door. He held the man until the police arrived and took him into custody. Oh, by the way, the rifle was not loaded.
The man had defended his family and one would think he was a hero of sorts, but not the police. They confiscated his rifle along with his permit to have it.
No, it did not happen here in the U.S.A. but in Australia where for the last twenty years gun ownership has been drastically curtailed. You see, Dunstan's permit was "for vermin". I guess a man bent on doing harm to you and your family is not considered "vermin".
The gun haters in this country are advocating the same kind of Anti-gun laws in this country every time there is a shooting in a church or school or mall (usually "Gun Free zones"). So be vigilant. Be aware. Be alert and protect your Second Amendment rights!..Medicineman!

GUILTY/NOT GUILTY?
In New Jersey Bob Menendez, US Senator has just escaped by the skin of his teeth and a Hung Jury.
The federal charges were bribery, fraud, conspiracy and perjury. Serious charges for most of us.
Senator Bob is friends with an ophthalmologist, Solomon Melgen who was convicted in April of stealing from you and me by wrongfully billing Medicare more than 100 million dollars. You want to know how Menendez is involved in this. Well, it seems that Melgen bribed the good senator with private flights, vacations in the Caribbean and hundreds of thousands of dollars in political contributions. Then, it seems, visas showed up for Melgen's girl friends and ole' Bob put in a good word with the State Department for Melgen's Dominican Republic Companies. Just 'business as usual' in the "Swamp".......Medicineman!

TRUMAN'S CLOSE CALL
Unlike Puerto Rico today, in 1950 they were screaming for independence. Pro-independence activists Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola hatched a plot to assassinate President Truman. It was November 1, 1950 and Truman was staying at Blair House while the White House was being renovated.
Torresola was the only one skilled in the use of fire arms and the ones chosen for the deed were a German Luger and a P-38 pistol. Collazo did not even know how to load his pistol. They were much aware that they would be killed. The plot was hatched in New York City. They took the train to Washington and went to Blair House, with Torresola approaching the entry gate on foot while Collazo walked up behind Capitol Police Officer Donald Birdzell,who was standing on the steps of Blair House. Collazo had failed to chamber a round and the pistol did not fire but just as Birdzell turned he chambered a round and shot him in the knee. Hearing the shots Secret Service Agent Vincent Mroz rushed outside and shot Collazo on the front steps. Two other agents also fired on Collazo.
Meanwhile Torresola approached the guard booth at the west corner of the property and shot officer Leslie Coffelt four times, mortally wounding him. He then turned to the house and fired on the officers there wounding two. While reloading, Officer Coffelt staggered outside his booth and fired once hitting Torresola in the head killing him instantly. The whole affair lasted about 40 seconds.
Officer Coffelt died four hours later!......Medicineman!
