I was heartened when I read about a new weapon that is joining the American arsenal. It is called “The Breacher” and it is powerful indeed. The machine is a hybrid of an Abrams tank and a bulldozer. It clears wide swaths of land from IEDs and landmines. The machine weighs 72 tons and is 40 feet long.
The war machine is being tested in the fields of Afghanistan clearing mines for the marines who will safely follow in its wake. I am sure that this new weapon will be worth every penny of the 3.5 million dollars it cost. I hope it pays off for our boys who are in harms way!

There are many times when we don’t do what we really want to do. There are sometimes though when we just have to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy ourselves. I am thinking of doing just that in the very near future by visiting a Myrtle Beach Resort. I heard that it was a great place to take your entire family to relax in a beach atmosphere. I mentioned it to the kids and they all want to go.
Since I have three children, it can be difficult to find somewhere where they all will have something to do. That’s one of the strengths of Myrtle Beach Resorts. There is something for every member of the clan. My wife likes to window shop up and down the strip with my daughter and the boys like to stay on the beach. There is plenty to keep them all busy and that gives me a chance to do something I really like.
There are a few games that I really like to play. Golf has always been a pleasure for me as it is relaxing and fun. I also know that Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts are in close proximity to many great courses. I like to play the day away while working off a few pounds as well. I know that every Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort will be worth the trip. I am convinced that our family will have a great time during our stay at the beach. I can’t wait for that day to come!
