The Band that Wouldn't Die

Date: October 20, 2015 at 10:44:14 PM EDT

This evening at the Museum of Industry, I saw Barry Levenson's documentary on the story of the night the Colts left town, when the team's marching band went on and on. I'm not even a football fan but I loved the film.  Especially interviews with Vince Bagli and William Donald Schaefer and Orsay.

A talk with the band's president, John Ziemann, was fascinating; he told us behind scenes stories that I love to hear. About a dozen of the band members showed up, quite a treat. The questions from the audience went on and on and John patiently answered them all.

I walked around to Boston Street today to watch the runners, and chat with the 2 police officers.  I showed them my scrap book on HLOTS. "Homicide: Life on the Street," the made in Baltimore TV show.  I knew most of the people connected with the show and there in the book is my photo with each of them, big grins.
My book traces HLOTS, beginning to end.    It's huge fun to remember, Zip

Fwd: A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET

A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET. 

 

 

"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement?

 

 

I do recall, the President referring to theBenghazi incident as "a bump in the road."  Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment onBenghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then thanked Fox News for keeping theBenghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.

 

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).

 

THE BATTLING BOYS OFBENGHAZI 

 

We're the battling boys ofBenghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well.  

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.  

Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.  

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road". 

  

So will this reach every American with a computer?  Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing?  The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement,"What difference does it make?"
