Tributes
Memorial Page Established By Lisa Winkler In Honor Of SFC William Brian Woods http://ourfallensoldier.com/WoodsWilliamB_MemorialPage.html
Sgt. 1st Class W. Brian Woods Jr., of Jefferson County, Missouri passed away at age 31 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, of wounds suffered when he was shot August 14, while on patrol in Ghanzi, Afghanistan. He was killed while serving as a Special Forces senior medical sergeant in Operation Enduring Freedom, assigned to the United States Army, Company B, 2nd Battalion, Special Forces Group, (Airborne). Brian leaves behind his wife, Elizabeth, and two young daughters, Lily (age 5) and Ella (age 8 months).
Brian Woods was a graduate of Northwest High School, House Springs, Missouri class of 1996. After high school, he entered the Marine Corps when his contract was up, he joined the Army where he became a Green Beret.
"I remember Brian always had his friends back, no matter what the odds. If we were in trouble, he'd take the fall to protect us. He'd take a punch or a kick to protect us. That attribute lived on, but this time he had his country and all its peoples backs, and he took the bullet to protect us." - Brian B.
"As for Brian being a solider in the US Army and a medic, I can say it suited him well. He is one of the bravest and most courageous people I've known. He wanted to be part of the action. Even at 14 years old he knew he wanted into the military. On August 14th, 2009, the US Army lost one of its most determined soldiers. The military needs more men like Brian." - Lisa W.
Brian Woods was a wonderfully simple, full-of-life extremist who will be missed by all who knew him. He lived life at 90 miles an hour, if he enjoyed something, he threw himself into it wholeheartedly. Brian was a photographer, a rock climber, a base jumper, a thrill seeker, a friend, a husband and a father. Not one person that was lucky enough to know him in his short time here will ever forget the man, Brian Woods Jr..
Sept 30, 2009 Elizabeth Woods My husband, Brian Woods, was the most courageous and "full of life" man I have ever known. Everything he did, he put his whole heart into. His list of qualities and skills has always amazed me. No task was ever too big for him. He loved every challenge that came his way. Living life in such a fearless manner taught those around him the true meaning of strength and honor. Through the heartache and pain that my family and I have to endure over his loss, I can truly say with all of my heart that I have never been so proud to have shared a life with this incredible man. He will be missed by everyone who has crossed his path, for he touched everyone who ever knew him. My daughters will know for the rest of their lives that their daddy was a true Hero. He is forever in my heart, mind, and soul. To my husband, soldier, and best friend, "I love you Brian." Love, your wife Elizabeth
I would like everyone to visit www.iraqwarheroes.com Q Madp is an American veteran who in 2003 started to document all of our fallen heroes from Iraq and Afghanistan. I went to his website and called him on the phone. I thanked him for what he's doing and he asked me for my address and said he would send me a package. I received a package as promised. I would ask that everyone help spread the word and support him in any way you can. The video below tells you more about his story.
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
My son is a proud member of the 3rd Battalion 1st NC Regiment 3rd Young Marine Division Semper Fi Joey OOHRAH
I've been married 22 years and I'm grateful for all I've been blessed with.
My page respectfully honors those who do our dirty work while we ride, party and enjoy our freedom. It is not here as a numbers game or popularity contest. If my page offends you get the fuck off now.
Two Presidents Two different Marine Corps. If this doesn't wake you up to how things are then nothing will.
How many of you have the balls this proud American Vet has???
The flag still matters.

YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN
I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American. I am a Master Mason and believe in God. I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles and believe in American products. I believe the money I make belongs to me and wife & my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican! I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way! I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it! I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English. I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where he or she wants to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it. I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, move on already. I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and CHANGE your own country! This is AMERICA .We like it the way it is! If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. I want to know which church it is exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one? ? I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are. And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good.... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years. I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff. Get a Job and do your part! I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents. I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think. I believe the American flag should be the only one flown in the UNITED STATES!
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American. If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know. We want our country back!
We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
ARE YOU A PATRIOT GUARD RIDER? by Groundhogpmc
"Are you a Patriot Guard Rider?" I heard the man say,
As I just finished stowing Some items away.
"Yes I am", I replied And started to raise my kickstand. Then he said, "I just wanted To shake your hand."
Then he grabbed me and hugged me And held me real tight. This man I'd just met, This very night.
I then saw the tears Filling up his eyes. I didn't need to ask, I just knew the reason why.
And suddenly my own tears I couldn't hold back, As he told me his son Had been killed in Iraq .
He said he just wanted to thank me For being by his side Then he turned and walked away And that's why "We Ride".
You are a part of the true biker community. You probably understand the meaning of brotherhood and look after those you ride with as family. Ride Hard - Die Free is not just a fancy patch you bought at a bike rally. You probably ride your bike to Bike Week no matter how far it is. Bikers like you are hard to come by. Keep the shiny side up.
I would encourage all of my friends to join and support your local Patriot Guard Riders. They do a great service to the families of our fallen heros. Our military has always fought to protect us and our freedom. This is a great way to show our appreciation and respect for them.
