David "Scout" Meredith was born on June 25, 1968 in Yuma, Arizona to David and Ruth Meredith. Dave Meredith Sr. was a career Army soldier retiring as a LTC. after 26 years of service to our great nation. David Jr. entered the work force in 1986 and then became a truck driver in 1989. Driving flatbed trailers, tankers and anything else with 18 wheels. In April 2004 David applied with an over-seas company called Kellog, Brown and Root (KBR)a subsiderary of Halliburton. In July, David was contacted by KBR to report to Houston, Texas for a week long orientation. After the orientation, on September 8, 2004 David "Scout" Meredith and his brother in law were put on an airplane and sent to Kuwait in the middle east. One week later they were on their first of many missions into Iraq. By early October David was on his first mission to Baghdad and what an experience it was! There were armed shooters in every third truck and David's truck was one of the trucks selected to transport an armed shooter. The mission was mostly incident free, only minor small arms fire and only one IED (Improvised Explosive Device) scare. It was on that mission when David was given his call sign, Scout. His name was given to him by his fellow drivers for always being prepared, carrying a back pack with just about anything you could possibly ask for in it. By late October, David/ Scout had moved up the ranks to become a driver for the convoy commander, reliable enough under pressure that he was asked to drive for a number of different convoy commanders. In April of 2005 operations in Kuwait were shutting down and everybody was transferred north to different bases in Iraq. Scout ended up at a base not far from Falujah, again starting as a "CC" driver, then eventually becoming a "bobtail" driver. This was one of the most important positions in a convoy next to the convoy commander. The bobtail driver brought up the rear of the convoy keeping in constant contact with the CC. If the convoy fell under attack and one of the trucks in the convoy became disabled it was up to the bobtail driver to get that driver out of his truck and out of "the kill zone". If a driver was ever injured, it would be the responsibility of the bobtail to pull that driver from his or her truck. Most missions went incident free except for the ocassional small arms fire and IEDs exploding close to the trucks. On August 12, 2005 Scout was on the mission that would change his life FOREVER. Eleven kilometers from the forward operating base that they had just delivered supplies to a number of IEDs went off one right after another. One of trucks on Scout's convoy suffered a direct hit. Time to go to work! Scout raced to the blown up truck, jumped from his truck and ran to the rescue of his fallen comrade. He was not prepared for what he saw when he opened the passenger door of the driver's truck and stepped out of the truck in shock. Scout completed his one year contract a month later and left Iraq for good. The emotional devastion from losing one of his drivers sent Scout into a deep depression requiring months of couseling and therapy. Once home Scout saw an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter and instantly became a fan of the show. Shortly after that Scout decided it was time to make a career change since he was still having emotional issues driving a truck in the United States. After a year and a half of research online and in the library Scout finally went to the American Institute of Bail Training in Denver, Co. and graduated on March 30, 2007. Scout is now a state certified bail enforcement officer, but rather than racing out to look for a job in the bail industry he plans to continue his education at Colorado Tech., getting a two year degree in Criminal Justice, then later getting his associates in Forensic Science. David "Scout" Meredith has a beautiful wife named Abbi, four wonderful children and two precious grand daughters. His oldest daughter is in the Army and stationed at an Army post in Texas.

Wonderful Story
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots; each
hung on the ends of a
pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other
pot was perfect and
always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the
house, the cracked pot
arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the
woman brin gin g home
only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments.
"But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and
miserable that it could only do half of what it had
been ma de to do.
After two years of what it p erceiv ed to be bitter
failure, it spoke to
the woman one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my
side causes water to
leak out all the way back to your house."
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side
of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"
"That's because I have always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower
seeds on your side of the path, and every day while
we walk back, you
water them."
"For two years I have been able to pick these
beautiful flowers to
decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would
not be this beauty to
grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the
cracks an d flaw s we
each have that make our lives together so very
interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they
are and look for the
good in them.
SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day
and remember to smell
the flowers on your side of the path!

David "Scout" Meredith
Kansas Bail Enforcement Officer
In 2006, Chapman was arrested in Mexico for capturing Max Factor heir, Andrew Luster and bringing him back to the United States to serve the 124 years prison term handed down by the State of California.'Dog' Chapman is a hero for what he has done for America, but has been portrayed as a villain for what the Mexican authorities have accused him of doing, by bringing serial rapist Luster back across the border.So, where is the thanks from the United States? Are we going to turn our backs on him now? This is an outrage to even consider extraditing Duane, Leland and Tim to Mexico! What will the United States be saying to other criminals? It is safe to go to Mexico because we will allow Mexico to imprison anybody who brings a fugitive back to the U.S. to stand trial and face their punishment!

"I'm Tired"
Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq to finish my tour.I left Baghdad and a war that has every indication that we are winning, to return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam. Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see these difficult tasks through.I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history when the going gets tough.I'm tired of the disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by wanting them to 'Cut and Run' before victory is achieved.I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty reports because they are too afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and success our brave men and women are having on the battlefield.I'm tired that so many Americans think you can rebuild a dictatorship into a democracy over night.I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go to the voting booth and freely elect a Constitution and soon a permanent Parliament.I'm tired of the so called 'Elite Left' that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.I'm tired of antiwar protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. A family who's loved ones gave their life in a just and noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom -- Vietnam generation, who have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks through to victory.I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives than they are the slaughter and beheading of our citizens and allies.I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front page news.Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for Victory.Sincerely,
Joe Repya,
Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army
101st Airborne Division

A Response from a Wise Man
*****************************************************
I understand and can appreciate LTC Repya's very real concerns, but we aren't fighting this war because of what the politicians, media, war protesters, and other yellow bellies do or say or don't do or say. We are doing it because it is the right thing to do, but more importantly we were given the mission to do it. We take orders and give out orders ourself to carry out what we are tasked to do. If we wait until all of the negatives are out of the way, then the job never gets done, now or in the past. Politicians, war protesters, news media, and the Cindy Shehans have always been there. Time to grab the bootstraps and march on. At 63 + years young, I am tired too, but the job "ain't" done. Airborne!
Sincerely,
Dave Meredith Sr

Bud,
this is just the old man's perspective and not intended to put LTC Repya down or be a show off!
You have already been here, and the hope is that David III and his generation won't have to be here/there. If we have a little part in sparing our kids and grandkids that grief, then it is worth every minute of it. It wasn't the military's call not to finish Korea, Viet Nam, or Dessert Storm; had we been permitted, maybe we wouldn't be worried about terrorist on our own soil today.
Love, dad.

I have watched this video many times now. It's not the words of the song that makes me angry, not even the pictures. The video does hurt to watch! You need to listen to what this video is saying. As a father to four beautiful children and two grand children, I am outraged when I think about this.

Body: Rules for Civilians Body: "Dear Civilians, "We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:(1) The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass.(2) When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass.(3) Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.(4) (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.(5) Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt).(6) If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their ass.(7) Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her---of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.(8) Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans, and we all bleed the same, regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is to include our Commander-In-Chief (C in C). The President (for those who didn't know) is our C in C regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked!(9) 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass!(10) Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those Commies!' And stop asking us where he is? Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military.(11) 'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy), 'Puddle Jumpers' (Coast Guard), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked.(12) Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked.""It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press."It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech."It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate."It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.""If you can read this, thank a teacher""If you are reading it in English, thank a veteran."****************************************** ****************************************** ****************************************** ****************************************** An 80-year-old man went for a physical. All of his tests come back with normal results. The doctor says, "George, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?"George replied, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof! The light goes on. When I'm done, poof! The light goes off.""Wow, that's incredible," the doctor said. A little later in the day, the doctor calls George's wife. "Ethel," he said, "George is doing fine! But I had to call you because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done, poof! The light goes off?" "Oh my Lord!" Ethel exclaimed. "He's peeing in the refrigerator again!"****************************************** Students were assigned to read two books, "Titanic" and "My Life", by Bill Clinton.One smart-ass student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories. His professor had a sense of humor and gave the student an A+ for his report:Titanic: $29.99 Clinton: $29.99Titanic: Over three hours to read Clinton: Over three hours to readTitanic: The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe. Clinton: The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.Titanic: Jack is a starving artist. Clinton: Bill is a bullshit artist.Titanic: In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar. Clinton: Ditto for Bill.Titanic: During ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined. Clinton: Ditto for Monica.Titanic: Jack teaches Rose to spit. Clinton: Let's not go there.Titanic: Rose gets to keep her jewelry. Clinton: Monica is forced to return her gifts.Titanic: Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life. Clinton: Clinton doesn't remember jack.Titanic: Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen. Clinton: Monica... ooh, let's not go there either.Titanic: Jack surrenders to an icy death. Clinton: Bill goes home to Hillary... basically the same thing. ****************************************** This farmer had about 200 hens, but no rooster, and he wanted chicks. So he went down the road to the next farmer and asked if he has a rooster that he would sell.The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've this great rooster, named Randy. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."Well, Randy the rooster cost a lot of money, but, farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Randy and takes the rooster home.Once there, the farmer sat Randy down in the barnyard and gave the rooster a pep talk, "Randy, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer ended with a chuckle.Randy seemed to understand, so the farmer pointed toward the hen house, and Randy took off like a shot.WHAM ! Randy nailed every hen in the hen house three or four times, and the farmer was really happy.After that, the farmer heard a commotion in the duck pen. Sure enough, Randy was in there.Later, the farmer saw Randy going after the flock of geese down by the lake. Once again, WHAM! He got all the geese.By sunset he saw Randy out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught -- worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours.Sure enough, the next morning the farmer finds Randy dead as a doorknob -- stone cold in the middle of the yard, with a flock of buzzards circling overhead.The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Randy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."Randy opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "SHHHH, they're getting closer ****************************************** The population of this country is 300 million.160 million are retired.That leaves 140 million to do the work.There are 85 million in school.Which leaves 55 million to do the work.Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.Leaving 15 million to do the work.2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden.Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city governments.And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.At any given time there are 188, 000 people in hospitals.Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.That leaves just two people to do the workYou and me.And there you are,sitting on your ass,at your computer, reading jokes.Nice. Real nice !! ****************************************** Funeral Weather As with many funerals, it was a cloudy, rainy day. The deceased was a little old lady who had devoted her entire married life to fussing at her poor husband. When the graveside service had no more than terminated, there was a tremendous burst of thunder accompanied by a distant lightning bolt. The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, "Well, she's there."****************************************** ******************************************
