Who knows? Maybe Brendan will get a visit from president Soetoro, and some well-wishes the next week after Never?

Thanks for your sacrifice, soldier. :o I

Your a great man, Brendan. Thank you and God bless.

anniesnow   May 31st, 2010 - 8:22 am

I am so deeply touched by the courage and bravery of this young man. I am humbled and honored;humbled because my problems pale by comparison,and honored because he represents the very best of my countrymen.”I was sad because I had no shoes,till I met a man who had no feet”.
A heartfelt ‘THANK YOU’ to all the service men and women who give so much for our freedom.. I love,honor and support you all.God bless you.

Suvrec   May 31st, 2010 - 8:38 am

I am humbled by your sacrifice, God Bless you and your family Sir.

Jones   May 31st, 2010 - 8:43 am

I would give you a high five for your service, Brendon but…
LOL

A joke for Brendan…What is he gonna do…hit me with his stub?

Q: What do you call a quadriplegic waterskiing?
A: Skip!

Went to look at some news on Breitbart.com… read about the Israeli navel commandos boarding a floatilla, some killing and wounding happened onboard…
The ship was carrying arms for the Palos, and a Turkish ambassador was on board, so, there’s a real mess brewing now.(ref: “Debkafile” too)

claspur <~~~~ gives Jones a ^5 with the left hand while shoveing His
K-Bar in, up-under the front-center area of His rib cage.

Jones   May 31st, 2010 - 9:11 am

classless,

First you insult our first Black President OBAMA.
Racist much?
Then you turn your angers toward me.

A bit of rage or just FEAR because
we be FINALLY have a good president?!

Fidelis   May 31st, 2010 - 9:25 am

Jones: On Memorial Day, you dare to insult, denigrate and mock a courageous soldier who lost ALL OF HIS FREAKING LIMBS IN THE SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY?!!!! I’m a girl, Jones, but if you were in front of me right now, you’d be lucky to escape with more than the loss of all your limbs. Your other member, the miniscule one between your legs, would prevent you from spewing your filthy hatred for Brendan and his catastrophic injuries, which, by the way, he sustained keeping your sorry ass safe, because it would be shoved down your frigging throat! To think that heroes like Brandon and all our brave military have suffered indescribably to give you the right to mock them is unbelievable! One day you’ll pay for your heartless comments. God will do a better job with vengeance than I ever could! You are a pathetic and pitiful piece of s–t!

Brendan = More Man than most.   May 31st, 2010 - 9:30 am

Thank You Thank You Thank You Brendan – and all our soldiers.

And I’m sorry for the lunkheads on this message board.

Roger   May 31st, 2010 - 9:43 am

Jones is a sick twist…a bitter Lefty, he mocks a wounded veteran on Memorial Day. But Jones is just carrying on a grand tradition among the Left, spitting on returning vets. Forty years ago they did it in person at the airports, but now technology allows Jones to do it anonymously on the Internet. He’s a real profile in courage!

Jones   May 31st, 2010 - 9:46 am

Fidelis,

How exactly did this brendan kid, your words
“keep my sorry ass safe”
I be keepin my ass protected myself. Glock9 word!

We all knowing it was Bush’s fault for starting the
illegal wars in Iraq that this brendan kid is disfigured.
Dont you or classless be blaming me or president OBAMA
for the white mans wars of opression against people
of color.

montanarocks   May 31st, 2010 - 10:19 am

WOW, what an inspiration. May God bless you in your recovery.
I am rendered speechless by your courage and outlook after all
you have gone through. Thank you for your service for my
freedom.

john galt   May 31st, 2010 - 10:19 am

God speed my brother. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. We will never forget, and we will honor you by never giving in to muslim extremism and radical terrorists.

Ranbo   May 31st, 2010 - 10:33 am

Brendan – as former member of the Cav a long time ago, I salute you for your bravery and sacrifice, thanks Trooper.

Jones,
If there is such a thing as Karma I hope you get all you deserve when you spout off. Hopefully the Karma will be in the form of something slow and extremely painful.

+Cloud+   May 31st, 2010 - 10:42 am

God Bless! We can’t forget a whole new generation of strong warriors are fighting in 2 wars and going through so much…and that the American public should be aware of what we are facing as a nation. My hat goes off to you sir for defending our nation and those abroad.

temple62   May 31st, 2010 - 10:56 am

These arba wars are sad and misguided. I would be happy is the entire arab peninsula was a sheet of glass. We have a nation that has conscripted this age group into the Guard or Active service because there are NO OTHER JOBS! These troops are not ultra patriotic, they simply have no money and Bush and Soetoro have concocted these arab wars in the sand to REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT! Why do you think the suicide rate is so high? These men/women are trapped by the United State failed economy and Barry Soetoro is only making things worse by maintaining Bush’s failed programs. My sympathies are for the troops and wish Bush or Soetoro were both assigned over there as infantrymen.

“Johnny Got His Gun” by Dalton Trumbo, And Metalica “One”. Brendan is One in a million, reflection of being only “One”. May God walk by your side always, Bless you Brendan for your selfless service.

NewOrleansAnn   May 31st, 2010 - 11:29 am

Brendan, you’re a hero. God bless you. You’re in my prayers. You have sacrificed so much, but exhibit so much optimism. I hope the technology is there to give you what you want to live a fulfilled life.

Jones   May 31st, 2010 - 11:49 am

Mao is my hero. I hate America.

unkeeaf   May 31st, 2010 - 12:12 pm

God bless you Brendan. Thank you for your enormous sacrifice.

WOW talk about courage This young man exemplifies courage & bravery.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR FOR THE SACRIFICE YOU HAVE MADE.. TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF ALL AMERICANS.

———————————————————————–
This young man and all vets should be entitled to the absolute best FREE health care for the rest of their lives paid for by the American people. They have earned it.

Jones May 31st, 2010 – 8:43 am
You are not fit to clean Mr. Marrocco’s bed pan.

Fidelis May 31st, 2010 – 9:25 am
I’m pretty damn sure there is nothing between his legs!

Jones May 31st, 2010 – 9:46 am
“Glock9 word” Illegally purchased I’m sure…You could never pass a mental
assessment to legally carry anything more than a wet sponge!

K/libs   May 31st, 2010 - 12:33 pm

What the problem Jones?
Just because your POS Boy King OREO president having a bad year, you take a cheap shot at young man who’s loss all of his limbs just to make you feel like a bigger, badder little man running around telling everyone about his little Glock9. Yes Once again, the evil white man’s oppression against people of color. To the white, brown and black men who are good men, proud patriotic who love this country and are willing to put there life on the line. ‘May I Salute You?’. Now “Having said that”, to the other people like Jones who are n*****s, and the comments made by your sorry worthless a** it’s easy to tell witch category your in. You are a disgusting spineless peace of s**t and my you rott in Hell, here’s hoping the rotting is slow, and eternally painful.

…….anytime Mr. Jones, I have all my limbs and it’s going to take a lot more that your little #9 a**hole!!!

Alec   May 31st, 2010 - 12:34 pm

Jones, please do your share to keep America clean by leaving the country….
Fidelis, ditto!…..

JGibbons   May 31st, 2010 - 12:45 pm

Jones…seriously how pathetic is your life that you would need to draw attention in such a disgusting way?! It seems to me you are jealous of Brendan, despite his set backs he is still a better man then you! Brendan is filled with optimism and pride while you wake up everyday alone and angry at the world. Good luck in life you will needed it. Good luck with your health too, because as others have pointed out KARMA is a b*tch!!!

Buford   May 31st, 2010 - 1:11 pm

This should be showed on the Huffington Post or Salon.com to see all the hatred from the bastard liberals.

Bishop   May 31st, 2010 - 1:17 pm

Very Strong young man. Makes me want to see our troops come home today. Are you listening you sorry political dictator. Bring the troops home and keep Muslims out. I hate to say this but we will be fighting Muslim here just like Israelis fight them in their country. Either get rid of them before war or watch millions die in our own country.

nce   May 31st, 2010 - 1:38 pm

Brenden guys like you make guys like me envious of your strength, conviction of courage, and honor. A small as my personal sacrifices are to try and support this country, every soldier like yourself is in my heart, and your strength gives me the fight to always remember what this Country stands for, liberty and opportunity. Without guys and gals like you, we would be just another lost island ripe for the taking.

NYCarchitect   May 31st, 2010 - 1:39 pm

Although I’m opposed to these wars for several reasons, this guy really makes me proud to be an American. I have several family members fighting in Afghanistan right and I hope they, along with all the other soldiers in the field, see this guy as a role model.

Waffen SS   May 31st, 2010 - 2:45 pm

To ALL the brave Servicemen AND Servicewomen that keep us safe.

GOD Bless You All!

To Brenden you have sacrificed so much may the blessings of this nation never falter in giving you and others who have given what you so richly deserve and may we always keep you in our prayers.

MCS   May 31st, 2010 - 4:22 pm

Thanks be to God for the troops and all that they do.

And as for those that troll this board to mock our soldiers, ignore them. Their words mean nothing in the end. Hatred breeds animosity and kindness breeds love. So remember to love your enemies, no matter how hard it is. I, for one, am against Obama and have been since elections, because of his stand on abortion and his ObamaCare plan. But I love him the way I’m supposed to love everyone. So…everyone remain calm, and talk about what this is supposed to be about.

God bless you Brendan!

gene hauber   May 31st, 2010 - 4:40 pm

to Brendan, I just sent the interview link to all my kids and grandkids, a great lot, to inspire them with your courage and grit.
I hope that you and your children will never want for anything.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.

itsjustme   May 31st, 2010 - 4:58 pm

God Bless and Keep You Brendan, and even though it is not enough…THANK YOU!

john@York UK   May 31st, 2010 - 6:00 pm

Last year I had difficulty in coming to terms with the appalling injuries suffered by someone I don’t know.
He is a Royal Marine Commando, he lost both legs and an arm.
This year I have had the difficulty in coming to terms with the appalling injuries suffered by someone else I do not know.
He is Brendan Marrocco, who has lost both legs and arms.
To-day, someone called Jones, here on this post, has achieved what I thought hithero impossible, that I could ever read something so appalling that they botherd to share it with other members of the Human Race.
God bless you Brendan and God bless you Kate.

Maria del Carmen Hernàndez Campos   June 1st, 2010 - 11:17 pm

You’re a brave warrior, an example of courage, valor and struggle. I send you many blessings … and the grace of God is manifest in your life abundantly.( Costa Rica )

Have you thought about adding some relevant links to your article? I think it will really enhance everyone’s understanding.

John Dewey~ Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
