This little girl asked for her daddy to come home from Iraq for Christmas.

She has only seen him for 2 weeks in the past 2 years. Poor little girl. She is so strong and understands her Dad is over in Iraq "helping people", but just for Christmas this year, she wanted her daddy all to herself.

Ill be the first to say I cried at work watching it. Sorry if its a repost, just too damn sweet to not post.

No problem admitting I got a little teary eyed. These hit me a little more now that I have a young son. Amazing story, but we can't overlook what Dock said.

A lot of these guys are selfless, a friend of mine already has 5 Purple Hearts. Several news outlets wanted to do a story on him, some wanted to petition that he's done his share but he wouldn't hear any of it, he just wanted to go do his job.

God Bless all our service men and women, particularly those injured and already called home to Heaven for their sacrifice.

He wasn't a soldier. He is a civilian general contractor making big money to go to Iraq and work. He was choosing to be away from his family for two years.

Don't compare him to a soldier who has no choice.

Humbug

Humbug indeed.

The Armed Forces are 100% volunteer are they not?

No need to crap on this story.

Uh.. the story is not about him. It's about his daughter getting her Christmas wish.

For anyone who was at the Titans game this year, when they did kind of the same thing before the game. I knew it was going to happen, and still cried like a little girl. These stories always hit me hard, and while I'm ecstatic for the little girl, it sucks that there are thousands of other kids just like her.

They volunteer to protect and defend our country while being paid peanuts. Thats pretty damn noble.

This guy saw big money in Iraq and found it more important than being with his family. Why sugar coat it?

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025.

      Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
