In one of the most poignant ways of honoring a fallen comrade we’ve ever seen, former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell recently went to a Newtown, CT, pub and offered to pay the owner enough money to buy a random person a pint of Guinness every hour for the entire day.

Kids love and look up to Captain America from ‘The Avengers,’ so it was a shock for this one boy to see his favorite superhero show up on his doorstep. Though the bigger shock came when he realized that this real-life strong man was actually his army dad returning from Afghanistan.

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis recently went the extra mile to show his love for our troops by not only visiting wounded U.S. soldiers in Germany, but also by taking a course in bomb disposal training.

Americans’ fascination with the Navy SEALs translated to a big opening for ‘Act of Valor,’ which earned $24.7 million and first place at the box office this weekend.

Facebook Buy a bag of jerky (at a greatly discounted price) and it will be sent to servicemen and women from our area.  It's just a little "taste of home" but it means to much to the soldiers that you thought of them.  More on how you can help (and taste yourself) after the jump.

A video has recently made the rounds of four Marines urinating on the corpses of what are supposed to be Taliban fighters. This isn't cool, it isn't pleasant, it isn't called for, but it is understandable. Yeah, I said it. The soldiers urinating on dead enemy soldiers is wrong, but completely understandable.

It's time to call it a "win" in Afghanistan. We got the man we wanted to get, we can pack up now. Read more after the break.
