Its all over the local news services and the minds of the locals.
Its a horrible loss that we all except, but still feel deeply moved by.
That loss is of a young man, the best of the best, the few, the proud, a Marine.
Being a former marine I cant help but feel the loss of a brother, that i have never even met. now i have no chance of ever meeting him, well not anytime soon. I know where he went, its just going to be a while before i join him there( if I’m lucky that is).
before I read this article: Full article here
I had already realized a unexplainable bond to this man that only another marine could understand, But after reading the article, I now realized that he was a part of a large local group of Christians that i also belong to. now my sense of loss is even greater, how close had i come to crossing paths with this young marine? how close could you possibly be without actually making a contribution to each others lives? once again, it is obvious that our churches are way to big. how could i have spent 5yrs in that church and not even know him or his family? yes aether I’m blind or our churches are way to big.
well one thing is for sure he most definitely was a brother, in arms,or in Christ, the loss is the same. what else is there to say about it but:
Semper Fi

Ill be looking you up when I get there, to Thank You.

Has anyone in town been to the new Cousins Subs lately? I recently went to the new one on 18th st, and was surprised to find a pretty good sub there. The last time I had a Cousins sub it was a really dull sandwich with one topping. Hence the reason I avoided the places for many years. It seems that they have finally learned to make a pretty decent sub. That’s good for me since the subway on this side of town is gone, and I don’t think L&M meats or hungry head sub shop are going to be moving over here anytime soon.
At this time it looks like were going to be seeing many more of these sub shops opening up in the area. The ones in Kenosha are doing so well that the corporate big shots have set their minds to expanding in the southeastern Wisconsin area, specifically between here and Rockford Ill. This is a pretty good area to start in concidering that the main office is in Milwaukee. They are hoping to use their subs to attack everything within 400 miles of Milwaukee.
Are you interested in a franchise? If so they will be holding seminars which you can go and check things out if you want. Just visit the website and requester to attend. Pretty easy stuff.
Cousins Subs’ franchise seminar is free and open to the public. To register, please visit www.cousinsfranchise.com/seminar.
For more information on Cousins Subs’ franchise development please visit www.cousinsfranchise.com or call Kerry Espich at (800) 238-9736.
If by chance you do open a franchise:
Don’t forget who turned you on to it.
Try using some sauces on the sub, mayo is good.

Well, the local elections are coming up soon. Does everyone have their info all read and their minds made up?
If not then get with the program would ya!
While many people in Kenosha are really sick of this issue or that issue, personally im sick of the people who are so complacent that anything can happen in this town without any real backlash from the people. The local government here has gotten away with a lot of stuff over the years, and noone was watching. It is most definitely time for that to change.
The current mayor has been in office for 12 yrs now, and most people don’t even know who the mayor is. That’s really sad. Not only should they know who has squandered millions of tax payers’ dollars, they should know who is going to replace him to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
I actively encourage everyone to get off their duffs and vote on the 1st. not only am I going to vote, I’m going to be a poll watcher in the 4th district. That’s right, im watching you. lol
Seriously we as kenoshans need to get involved, as the average kenoshan ignores local politics we only empower those in office to get away with whatever they want. Do I need to mention the boat barn, how about a few museums?’
The local candidates have been putting out door hangers like crazy, there is no way everyone has not had access to the information on the candidates. The signs are out in waves on the side of the road. So there is no way we can say that we don’t even know who’s running.
It really is time for us to show those in office that were paying attention, and were not going to allow the special interest groups free rein in the public funds anymore.
Remember, the 1st of april, its time to show you actually care.
