Wow! 2014 – My last blog of the year. It’s been an exciting time for me to create and write on my blog.   I enjoy having a little fun as I’m relaxing at home during the holidays. Please check out my winners for 2014 (see below). You may or may not agree with my award recipients – that’s fine. I have my opinion and I approve of this message!

Turncoat of the Year

   Award Recipient: The investigation into U.S. Solider – Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s disappearance on June 30, 2009 while servicing in Afghanistan, is complete and Senior Pentagon and Army leaders got briefed on the results the week of December 15 – it is not revealed to the public.
