G'day Everyone.
Today is Veterans Day 2009. A day in which we honor our nation's military personnel that have served our country in life and in death. Many have died defending our country so that we may remain free. So if you see a military personnel in uniform today, make sure you tell them this: Thank You for serving our country with honor!
Last night, John Allen Muhammad's life came to an end. As I watched CNN, it seems Muhammad's life finally became an infamous note he wanted. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/11/virginia.sniper.execution/index.html
When they said he died at 9:11pm, it seemed like a reminder to all of us of how much terror this man and his sidekick, Lee Boyd Malvo, created when our nation had just suffered the 9/11 terror attacks. Their terror in 2002 gripped our nation pretty much hard.
I would believe that Lee Malvo would be told in his cell that his "mentor" is dead. But for many of the victims that Malvo and Muhammad killed, some will find closure, others will find some bitterness.
I, for one, wish the State of Virginia had opted to SHOOT Muhammad to death rather than lethal injection. Muhammad would have gotten to feel what it's like to die by the bullet rather than being injected to death. Since he was given a compassionate death for his punishment here on earth, one of where he has repetitively said "I'm INNOCENT", we can take solace of Muhammad's death and confidence in God that God already knows the truth about Muhammad's life and that God will render justice and punishment upon Muhammad.
With this chapter of terror over in this nation, perhaps Malvo can now move on with his life and come to terms that he will remain in prison till he dies. Perhaps some day, when the laws change and may be Malvo will be free then.
Today's 500th post of my blog is in honor of all of our Nation's veterans. Salute the living and the dead. They defend our nation always. Today's 500th post is also a request for prayers for the victims and the families that are affected by the DC Sniper killings.
Semper FI.

We all know that Lee Boyd Malvo is
a part of the DC Sniper. He will
spend the rest of his life in
prison with no chance of Parole.
He may as well build a little house
in his Prison because that is his
permanent home until he dies in Prison. I feel any person regardles of age if they are sentence to life in Prison with no
parole should be sentence to Death.
This should even apply to Lee Boyd
Malvo because he has no chance for
a second life in the society. I
feel it is a waste of tax payers
money to pay for him to stay in
Prison for the rest of his life
while he is getting free food,
clothes, bed and education for life behind bars. I don't think
that is fair I have to pay that
while I am free and he is in
Prison. Putting Lee Boyd Malvo
in Death sentence could in my
opinion save me money for paying
for his permanent life in Prison.
Yes he is too young to be
executed but he should't be
in Prison on my tax expense for
the rest of his life. Put Lee Boyd Malvo to death will tell the
young people that they have one
chance of life as Freedom in
the society and if they choose
to take another life or kill
someone, they too will be sentence
to Death.
