Liberty Tactical & Training

Our hearts are with the 13 Gold Star families today.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

13 doorbells are ringing today.

13 flags will be folded.

13 pairs of trembling hands will soon accept those flags beside the grave of their husband, or wife, or son or daughter who lost their life in Afghanistan today.

13 families will never be the same.

Ever

Thoughts and prayers feel insignificant to offer right now. But that’s all we have to offer the families whose worst fears have been realized today.

How many other families are frantically awaiting word of THEIR Marine or other service member?

How many face years of treatments and healing?

How many people are feeling guilty for being relieved that their doorbell did not ring today, even as they attempt to comfort someone whose did?

We wish we could believe it was unavoidable.

But we do not.

May the angels who escorted our heroes to God’s arms return again today to shine some light and grace on the shattered souls left behind.

And may we all hug the people we love just a little bit harder today. 🇺🇸

- Gold Star Wife, Barb Allen

🎉 From our family to yours, may you have a blessed 2020! 🎊

Breaking News:
U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters has issued orders today to Master Gunnery Sergeant S. Claus, recalling him to active duty, with a RNLTD of 24 Dec 2019.
MGySgt. Claus, known to use the alias “Saint Nicholas”, “Kris Kringle”, “Father Christmas”, or simply “Santa”, is a reserve Marine with 1,743 years of service. He specializes as a tactical operator of the next generation DEC-25B, Cargo Airborne Delivery (CAnDY) Carrier. The DEC-25B is contractor-modified and fully equipped with Cargo Antlered Navigation Equipment Sensors (CANES). It has also been retrofitted with eight high-powered, air-cooled Rangifer Tarandus carrot-fed generators. As a single seat cargo delivery platform, it is capable of vertical delivery of high-value items, take-off and landing without pilot controlled lighting (PCL). These unique specifications, coupled with the additional Public Affairs skill sets possessed by Master Gunny Claus, classify the entire deployable package as a low-density, high-demand (LD/HD) asset.
Also recalled, were MSgts Dasher and Dancer, GySgts Prancer and Vixen, SSgts Comet and Cupid, Cpl. Donner, and PFC Blitzen (recently selected for LCpl.). PFC Rudolph is also authorized to report for duty; however, he must first successfully complete his Phase II SERE Training, which he has failed three times due to a medical condition related to his nose. Although the above Marines are on orders for only 24 hours, it is anticipated that they will submit a travel claim for 24,901 miles at .56/mile, using a POV. Suitable Government transportation is not available. As a special operations unit, each member is granted a high level of uniform flexibility, as well as relaxed grooming standards. Per diem has been modified to include large quantities of hot cocoa and cookies. Government travel card use has been authorized.
